The Advanced Technology Group (ATG) is the research division of the company. ATG’s mission is to look ahead, deliver insights, and innovate technological solutions that will fuel Dolby’s continued growth. Our researchers have a broad range of expertise related to computer science and electrical engineering, such as AI/ML, algorithms, digital signal processing, audio engineering, image processing, computer vision, data science & analytics, distributed systems, cloud, edge & mobile computing, computer networking, and IoT.

We’re looking for talented Data Visualization researchers who are excited to advance the state of the art in technologies of interest to Dolby as well as the human society at large. Research in the areas of data visualization, human computer interaction (HCI), interactive and ubiquitous computing, data analytics, and data science at Dolby Laboratories focuses on all aspects of large-scale cloud and edge data platforms and services, and novel ways to accelerate discovering insight from data. We are interested in a variety of topics including data visualization and interactivity, applied machine learning and AI, AI bias and trust, big graphs, natural language processing, data mining, big data management, and heterogenous data analytics.

Specifically, we are looking for Applied Data Visualization researchers who are passionate about combining science with art—translating research and insights into beautiful, compelling, and inclusive “data stories” developed for a broad audience and delivered using sophisticated data visualization techniques and tools. One core objective is to make complex data easier to grasp by increasing our shared understanding and enabling others to uncover hidden insights.

Sight and Sound play a large role in our day-to-day experiences. We believe data can play a huge role in making the experiences personalized and resilient. Data is critical to synthesizing experiences that are otherwise unimaginable. We welcome the opportunity to have you join our growing Atlanta Advanced Technology Research team.
