## About the role

Fortell is a deep tech consumer hardware company. We build breakthrough hearing aids (powered by AI on custom silicon) that transform how people experience sound and connect with the world. We came out of stealth last December and the consumer response has been overwhelming.

## What they're looking for

- Hearing Aid Fitting Algorithms: Have experience translating audiograms, user preferences, and physical hearing aid configuration into customized user configurations
- Hearing Aid Signal Processing : Have experience authoring and tuning classical hearing aid signal processing algorithms (e.g. noise reduction, feedback cancellation, wide dynamic range compression, beamforming, limiting)
- Acoustics : Have a working knowledge of physical acoustics and psychoacoustics, as well as practical experience making acoustic measurements with head-worn audio devices
- Python : Be able to read, write, and modify Python code that supports modeling, testing, and interaction with embedded algorithms. Proficiency in Matlab is sufficient, but you will be asked to transition to Python as your daily driver for this role
- Technical Communication : Have experience communicating with non-engineers and translating their feedback into what could be happening at the signal processing layer. This role will likely interact frequently with our audiology team
