INTRODUCTION TO IRCAM:
IRCAM is a non-profit organization that is associated to the Centre Pompidou (Centre national d’art et de culture Georges Pompidou). Its missions comprise research, production, and education related to contemporary music and its relation to science and technology. The department for Innovation and Means for Research (IMR) handles, besides other topics, the various aspects of tech transfer of the research results produced in the research teams. IRCAM is located in the centre of Paris near the Centre Pompidou, at 1, Place Igor Stravinsky 75004 Paris.
POSITION DESCRIPTION:
You will integrate the IMR department and will be responsible for the conceptual design and development of user interfaces and application layers for AudioSculpt (version 4), a standalone audio application for sound visualisation, analysis and transformation built with the C++ JUCE framework. The different variants will be designed to adapt to different segments of the professional audio production market and will target MacOS and Windows environments. The development activities will be performed under the responsibility of the head of the Tech transfer service (part of IMR), and in close collaboration with the research teams that are contributing the signal processing algorithms, and the commercial and industrial partners. Your responsibilities will cover all aspects of building and delivering commercial applications, starting with software architecture, and interface design, development of cross-platform applications, packaging, testing, and communication with end-users at IRCAM and in the IRCAM Forum.
