MQA | Software Engineers | Huntingdon (near Cambridge), UK | Onsite, Visa, http://mqa.co.uk We are looking for software engineers to help us roll out the next generation of music distribution. We're still small (7 full-time engineers and a few contractors, ~20 total), and the music recording and hi-fi industries are already beating a path to our door, so we need all-rounders to keep up. If you like the idea of hacking on our (C++) encoder/decoder, learning assembly for a new instruction set to optimise porting to a new hardware platform, then spending the next week helping us analyse, process and revitalise the back catalogs of the world's top record labels...we want to hear from you. DSP experience not required (although obviously it's nice!). MQA has developed a music encoding and delivery system whose quality blows basically anything commercially available out of the water. (Think it's impossible to improve on CD? So did a lot of people. If you want to help out with the peer-reviewed double-blind studies that proved them wrong, here's the place to do it.) MQA is an end-to-end system, that ensures precise transmission of the analog signal from the mastering desk to the listener's ears. We've signed with household-name record labels, artists and hi-fi manufacturers, we've got music-industry luminaries working here (they're remarkably nice), and it's only getting bigger from here. We're a friendly, international team that values initiative and getting things done, and we're looking forward to meeting you. Interviews are a phone screen then on-site with the team.
