Strong experimentation habits: clean code, ablations, reproducibility, and clear reporting.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with speech generation (neural codecs/vocoders) or hybrid text+speech decoding.
Background in multilingual or code‑switching speech and domain adaptation.
Hands‑on work evaluating safety, bias, hallucination, or spoofing risks in speech systems.
Distributed training/serving (FSDP/DeepSpeed), and experience with ESPnet, SpeechBrain, or NVIDIA NeMo.
