You will implement tests in C/C++, Objective-C, Swift, and Python/Shell scripting using test frameworks. Additionally, you will automate workflows in testing and quality evaluation pipelines, triage and root-cause failures, and drive early test strategy and planning. You will also build LLM-based tools and agentic workflows that extend what these pipelines can automate at scale.
You will partner with R&D engineering teams and both internal and external cross-functional partners to ensure image and video frameworks/firmware/drivers deliver the highest quality video experience.

Experience in building LLM-powered tooling - including prompt engineering, agent design, tool/API integration, and MCP-based integrations
Experience in test development using frameworks such as XCTest or PyTest
Experience with white-box / grey-box testing, API testing, mutation testing, static testing, or code coverage analysis
Experience in image or video quality evaluation or model benchmarking and quality metrics
Understanding of image or video codecs (e.g. AVC, HEVC, VP9, AV1) and video processing pipelines
Excellent problem solving and debugging skills
Great communication and negotiation skills, able to collaborate and work as a team
