Software Engineer II

Bluetooth technology revolutionized the way we interact with PCs and mobile devices and experience the world with Bluetooth wearables and accessories and other Bluetooth-enabled consumer products without the hassle of wires. Bluetooth technology recently reached an incredible milestone with the completion of LE Audio standard specifications enabling enhanced and more resilient audio streaming over Bluetooth LE transport and introducing exciting new capabilities. LE Audio standard specifications are created to advance and enhance the performance of Bluetooth audio solutions, provide improved codecs, add support for hearing aids, and enable Auracast™ broadcast audio which will pave the way for new experiences such as listening to announcements in public places, unmuting public screens that were previously silent and offering ability to tune in to public broadcast streams using personal devices without disturbing others.
