Emotech is currently raising the state-of-the-art in multiple areas of audio-visual processing. Our projects include topics from a complete AI Speech Technologies portfolio (VAD, Language Recognition, Speaker Recognition, TTS, etc), multilingual automatic speech recognition using hybrid and end-to-end (E2E) architectures to Digital Humans with realistic facial expressions using Computer Vision and latest GAN approaches. We are looking for passionate Applied Research Scientists who are driven by recent research developments and can turn state-of-the-art research work into solutions used by customers worldwide. As an Applied Research Scientist, you will be working with the full R&D pipeline. You will be delivering a complete research plan, starting with essential literature review, creating proof of concepts using the latest Machine Learning algorithms, collaborating with other scientists to research and test your ideas, and helping software engineers deliver your solutions to customers worldwide. The role is not limited to a specific research field and you will have the opportunity to work in different research fields over time. You will also be encouraged to publish your work at relevant conferences.
