Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Durbridge is a Digital Signal Processing engineer and consultant with 11 years of experience specialising in audio algorithm development, embedded firmware and system optimisation. He has shipped production DSP on multi-core SoCs (including SHARC and ARM) for commercial products like Neural DSP’s Quad Cortex and previously led research-driven tuning and signal-path work at Bowers & Wilkins. Simon combines academic rigour—pursuing a PhD in electrical and electronics engineering—with hands-on consultancy through SEDAudio, delivering fixed-point simulations, real-time audio processing and platform porting. His interests span acoustic modelling, spatialisation and numerical methods, and he applies AI and wearable sensing to study environmental noise impacts. Comfortable across toolchains from MATLAB and JUCE to microcontrollers and mobile audio frameworks, he bridges research and productisation to move algorithms into constrained hardware. Unusually for an embedded DSP engineer, he also has a background in live-sound and music performance, which grounds his work in real listening contexts.
