This is a highly cross-functional product development role. You'll collaborate closely with Silicon Design, Camera Hardware, Media Frameworks, and QA teams - translating complex requirements into robust, high-quality implementations. The environment is multifaceted and fast-paced, and we're looking for someone who is self-directed, adaptable, and passionate about craftsmanship in software - with an eye toward reliability, performance, and maintainability.
Minimum Qualifications
BS and a minimum of 3 years relevant industry experience.
3+ years of relevant industry experience in embedded or systems software development.
Proficiency in C and C++.
Proficiency in developing real-time software in embedded environments.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience in low-level software development, including hardware-software integration and debugging.
Familiarity with image signal processing (ISP) pipelines or camera systems.
