Machine Learning and Signal Processing Intern

AAVAA is looking for a Machine Learning and Signal Processing Intern as early as January 2025. With AAVAA, you will be part of a multidisciplinary team building a unique listening device that allows everyone to hear what they want by processing their surrounding sounds based on input from their brain and biosignals. Our goal is to give people control of their auditory environment, enhance the sounds they want to hear, and suppress distracting noise. In addition to solving one of the biggest challenges of human health, you will get:

• A safe, healthy, and inclusive work environment
• Healthy snacks, frequent celebrations, endless tea and latte, social outings, and more!

We are looking for problem solver engineers and scientists who have a collaborative and meticulous spirit. Applicants of all levels are welcome, including Engineers, and Graduated Candidates residing in Canada. AAVAA is a Montreal-based start-up dedicated to increasing diversity in technology; therefore, candidates of all backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
