Job ID: 850537-122371
Division: Cloud and Enterprise Engineering

Description

The era of Personal Computing has arrived. Customers are no longer tethered to their desks, communicating with their PCs in a primitive UI language. Instead, they use a myriad of intelligent cloud-connected devices to create and consume data on the go, leveraging Natural User Interfaces that fit their needs and context. As the designers of the ultimate “mobile device”, automakers are embracing this trend, placing technology at the heart of their products

We, the Microsoft Connected Car team, have a strong track record and an extensive customer base in the automotive industry. In the past fifteen years, we’ve delivered various iterations of our Windows Embedded Automotive platform to the automotive suppliers of major auto brands such as Honda, Nissan, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Aston Martin, and McLaren. We also partnered directly with select automakers to create integrated Telematics products such as Fiat Blue&Me. Ford SYNC and Kia UVO. Featuring cutting-edge communications, travel information, entertainment, and accessory control via voice and touch interfaces, these products have been highly successful, increasing the automakers’ US sales by up to 35% and telematics adoption up to 70%.

We are looking for a superstar developer to help us deliver speech technology in the car. Speech is the safest, most convenient, and preferred way to interact with the car, and we want to ensure that we provide consumers with a superior speech experience.

As part of the Connected Car speech team, you’ll have the opportunity to work with speech technology at several levels, from core performance optimization to dialog implementation. You’ll be responsible for building a speech solution that seamlessly integrates with other I/O modalities, and incorporates both onboard and cloud speech technologies. The right candidate has experience with speech and/or language technologies, is passionate about user experience, and loves a good challenge.
