Research Scientist - Audio Codec
Mirelo AI, Berlin +2
The role
At Mirelo, we’re pushing the limits of what generative audio can do, and our ability to innovate depends heavily on the quality of our underlying audio representations. In this role, you’ll work at the core of our modeling stack - designing, training, and evaluating neural audio codecs that directly shape the performance of our next-generation music and sound models. You’ll collaborate closely with the model team, experiment with both continuous and discrete representations, and build the evaluation tools that help us understand what actually moves the needle.
Your work will sit at the foundation of building the best-sounding generative models in the world.
What you will do
- Develop and implement new neural audio codecs for sound, music and speech that push the state-of-the art in sound quality and are optimized for the the use case of generative models.
- Think about the specific challenges that arise when the codec is primarily used as a latent representation in the context of generative audio models (in the end, the ultimate goal is to build the best audio generative models)
