DSP Engineer

DSP Engineer – Shaping the Future of Hearing Aids

Location: Demant Headquarter, Smørum.

At Demant, Digital Signal Processing sits at the heart of something deeply human: how people experience the world through sound. As a DSP Engineer you won’t just develop algorithms, you’ll help shape how millions of people connect, communicate, and live fuller lives.

Be part of a great SAFe Scrum team

You’ll join a cross-functional SAFe Scrum team within an Agile Release Train, working at the intersection of advanced DSP, hearing science, and real-world user experience.

The team consist of seven colleagues with different international backgrounds focusing on the foundational audiology algorithms at the core of our hearing instruments. Your work will directly influence how our users hear their world, making sound more natural, less tiring and more meaningful for people with hearing loss.

We all have a strong technical foundation, a genuine curiosity, and a willingness to contribute to the future hearing aids while we help and share our ideas with each other.

Our work does not limit us to working solely within our team. We also work as a cross-collaborative function coordinating between many different Scrum teams making teamwork great.

What You’ll Do

As one more talent in our team, you will:

• Contribute to the development of next-generation hearing aid technology and device software.
• Develop and optimise DSP algorithms and audiological features for real-time embedded products.
• Take DSP concepts from early development and simulation through implementation, testing and product validation.
• Contribute to system design and technical decision-making, balancing sound quality, performance, power and other device constraints.
• Document your work clearly, from early concepts through to feature descriptions, and help keep our tools, workflows, and onboarding materials in good shape.

Throughout, you’ll keep the end user at the center of your decisions, working closely with Audiologists, Embedded Software Engineers, Test Specialists, and Product Owners.

The job is performed in Demant’s headquarters with possibility to work from home up to two days per week when up and running and when it fits in with the team's work. Expected start date is 1st of December 2026. It is a requirement that you can start onsite from day one.

You are an engineer with a strong DSP foundation and a keen interest in hearing science and audio processing. You enjoy solving complex technical challenges in collaboration with others and understand that great DSP combines technical excellence with a deep understanding of the user experience.

On the technical side you have:

• A master’s degree or equivalent in Electrical, Electronic, Biomedical or Software Engineering, Computer Science, or a similar field.
• 3-5 years of experience in DSP and real-time audio processing.
• Proficiency in MATLAB and/or Python.
• Interest in any of the following areas: hearing science, psychoacoustics, and/or auditory modelling - and a desire to deepen your knowledge more in these areas.

On the personal level you:

• Communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Adapt to changing priorities and continuously develop your skills and expertise.
• Take ownership of your work, identify issues early, and drive solutions aligned with team goals.

You will be trusted with real ownership from early on, supported by an engaged manager, and welcomed through a structured onboarding programme with a dedicated buddy.

You’ll also enjoy:

• A collaborative, respectful, and transparent culture that actively supports learning.
• Continuous learning, training, and development opportunities.
• A healthy canteen with free breakfast, quality coffee, and fruit all day.
