The Advanced Technology Group (ATG) is the research division of the company. ATG's mission is to look ahead, deliver insights, and innovate technological solutions that will fuel Dolby's continued growth. Our researchers have a broad range of expertise related to computer science and electrical engineering, such as AI/ML, algorithms, digital signal processing, audio engineering, image processing, computer vision, data science & analytics, distributed systems, cloud, edge & mobile computing, computer networking, and IoT.

We are seeking a talented Senior Researcher to join our Atlanta Advanced Technology Research team.

You will bring your experience in generative AI on computer vision tasks and deep learning technology to Dolby. As a prerequisite for your work, you have proven knowledge of the generative network (VAE, GAN, diffusion model), low-level/high-level computer visions, 2D/3D scene representation and reconstruction, and deep learning. Your solid understanding of trade-offs between computational complexity and achieved performance of different implementations will guide you in decisions. You will research and develop new neural network architectures, training methods, representation, and processing algorithms on the areas of modern computer vision.

You must have an in-depth understanding of the key processes in computer vision. You have extensive experience in developing architectures, VAE/GAN/diffusion based network, multi-modal generative network, image/video generative restoration/enhancement, 3D novel view synthesis, and deep learning solution to improve performance of computer vision tasks.

You will join a highly skilled and motivated team to research and develop advanced computer vision and processing technologies to improve end user experience.
