Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2022)

Whisper is building a new kind of hearing aid. By far the biggest problem people with hearing loss have is understanding conversation in crowded, noisy environments like restaurants, parties, and the like. The classical DSP algorithms that traditional hearing aids run have difficulty in these situations because the noise has very similar statistics to the signal. Deep learning can do far better. What we do differently is that our hearing aid comes with a small pocket unit which has 1800x the compute of a behind-the-ear hearing aid. This allows us to run much more sophisticated deep learning models to remove background noise.

We launched our first generation hearing aid more than a year ago and now are hard at work on the second generation product which will be smaller and produce even higher quality audio.

The company as a whole is around 60 employees, mostly engineers, and there are four of us on the machine learning team. You would work on every stage of the ML pipeline, from data collection and preprocessing, to designing new model architectures, to deploying trained models onto hardware.

There are so many ways we can use ML to improve hearing aids: beamforming, feedback mitigation, personalization, the list goes on. We're only at the beginning of what we believe we can do.

Auricle is a medical device company developing a breakthrough minimally-invasive neurostimulation implant to restore hearing in patients who no longer benefit from hearing aids but aren't prepared to make the jump to a cochlear implant. The company is a spin-out from Stanford and YC-backed. We're looking to fill two roles:

1) Our first full-time mechanical engineer to lead electrode design and surgical implantation. Experience with small-scale medical devices ideal, bonus points for experience with implantable devices. Role will be in-person in the Bay Area.

2) A simulation modeling engineer for a summer internship with potential for full-time role, will consider full-time to start for the right candidate. Experience with 3D modeling and Finite Element Analysis required, bonus points for experience with Sim4Life and/or NEURON. Role can be remote or in-person.

You'll be joining an early team working on a very exciting real-world application with a huge market opportunity ahead. Interested? Please contact Francis, Co-founder & CEO email: francis@auricle.com
