The opportunity
Do you want to enable the green energy transition, and together with colleagues meet the world’s needs for sustainable, flexible and insecure energy?
In your work you will be part of HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) business unit that is a part of Hitachi Energy’s division. The main HVDC office is in Ludvika, but for the right candidate the Västerås office may be an option. The unit develops, manufactures and sells DC transmission systems on a global market. Hitachi Energy’s developed HVDC technology is used to transmit electricity over long distances and for power transmission via submarine cables, thus enabling stability cooperation between grids, sea-based wind power and more.
Are you interested in combining acoustic analysis with high voltage (hundreds of kV) and high power (GW) topics together with common sense? You will be analysing noise propagation, suggesting and specifying mitigations on equipment and plant level and supporting the organization in the acoustic area as well as maintaining an overall plant perspective in large scale projects, all in a highly international environment. Then maybe you should consider becoming part of our team at HVDC!
How you’ll make an impact
Evaluating acoustics through calculations, modelling and 3D simulations of noise propagation.
Perform on site measurements to verify calculations and fulfillment of requirements
You will be working in a multidisciplinary technical environment where mechanical, climate and electrical considerations are necessary as well as cost and quality.
Convert theoretical results into reality in actual design suggestions in cooperation with equipment and civil construction responsible.
Be part of constant improvement activities to make sure we stay competitive also for the future.
Interpret requirements and available data to evaluate best way forward from financial and technical point of view.
Support our business units in the acoustic area.
Your background
We are looking for Doctor or Master of Science in acoustics or similar experience.
Experience from soundPLAN or similar acoustic modelling software is a merit.
You can be fresh out of university or have long experience - we are interested in all kinds of people.
Even though you have a degree in acoustics you also have a keen interest in, or understanding of, other areas like mechanics, climate, and electrical aspects in order to combine acoustic knowledge with the requirements on our delivery.
Prior experience in any of the technical areas is beneficial but not a demand, your personality and interest are of high importance.
As a person you are a positive, problem-solving individual with the attitude that everything is possible to do in a team. You will work in a team where being able to take responsibility and willingness to learn are key features.
A general interest in technology is needed to be a good fit in this position. The goal is to have cost-effective solutions while fulfilling all requirements. Common sense and understanding of practical aspects is beneficial.
You should ideally like working in a multicultural environment and be able to express yourself written and spoken in English.

What Dirac Offers You Our best-in-class technology has given us a customer base that includes many of the world's most reputable brands. In this role, you will play a key part in making that technology come to life inside high-end consumer electronics products, working at the intersection of deep engineering and customer collaboration. We are on an exciting journey of growth and scale, driven by our ambition to deliver the ultimate audio experience that transforms how the world listens. Your role as Senior DSP Software Developer This is primarily a signal processing role. As a Senior DSP Developer for Dirac Live within Home & Pro, you will implement, refine, test, and evaluate the algorithms at the core of our products: estimation of acoustic systems from measurements, and design of correction filters for calibration and optimization of loudspeakers in real rooms. The team's focus is on productization and continuous improvement of these algorithms, turning them into robust, high-quality features in shipping products. You will work on the core processing behind our flagship Dirac Live technologies, including Dirac Live Active Room Treatment (ART), now shipping with several leading OEMs. Day to day, this means working with digital filters, FIR and IIR, phase behavior including minimum- and mixed-phase systems, frequency- and time-domain analysis of measured loudspeaker-room responses, and trade-offs between correction performance, robustness, latency, and computational cost. Most of the implementation is in modern C++ running locally inside the end-user app, with some parts running in the cloud. Your responsibilities will include: Continuously improve and evaluate the audio processing algorithms, and reason about the audible impact of changes Productize signal processing algorithms into scalable and maintainable C++ code Optimize algorithm complexity (cycles and memory footprint) without compromising audio quality Build and maintain evaluation methods and datasets to quantify audio performance and guard against regressions Assist the product manager in refining complex work items into smaller, valuable, and estimated user stories Test and use our product at home or in the lab Assist with 2nd-line customer support Maintain and improve the infrastructure and processes for build, test, and release Who you are You have a solid theoretical foundation in signal processing and professional experience applying it, not necessarily in audio. If you're not already familiar with room acoustics you can learn them here, however, you must know the fundamentals of signal processing. You should be comfortable discussing practical DSP trade-offs, such as when to choose an FIR filter over an IIR filter, how magnitude and phase response affect timing, ringing, group delay, and latency, and how to reason about systems in both time and frequency domain. Qualifications: M.Sc. or PhD in Signal Processing, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, Applied Mathematics, or a similar field, preferably including advanced coursework in signal processing 5+ years of industry experience, including several years of hands-on professional signal processing work; audio signal processing experience is a strong advantage Solid grounding in digital signal processing theory: e.g. FIR/IIR filter design and trade-offs, magnitude and phase response, group delay, latency, and time- and frequency-domain analysis. Ability to work effectively in a large modern C++ codebase, including reading, debugging, testing, and extending production code. You do not need to be a C++ language specialist, but you should be comfortable turning algorithmic ideas or prototypes, for example in Python or MATLAB, into maintainable implementation. Ability to reason about the audible impact of algorithm changes and performance trade-offs Passion for high-end audio Appreciation for agile development Fluency in spoken and written English A team-oriented attitude, as well as the ability to work independently A valid work permit or citizenship allowing you to work in Sweden Desired qualifications: Experience with room acoustics, acoustic measurements, or room correction technology Experience working hands-on in audio labs: connecting equipment, measuring, testing, and evaluating Experience with software engineering tools (e.g. Git, CMake, Conan) About Dirac Dirac is an audio tech company, known for best-in-class technology and a prestigious customer base that includes many of the world’s most reputable brands.
