AspectVulkan DeveloperOpenGL Developer
Required CredentialsProficiency in Vulkan API, programming skills in C/C++, graphics programming experienceKnowledge of OpenGL API, similar programming skills, graphics programming experience
Work EnvironmentDeveloping high-performance graphics and compute applications, often in gaming or simulation industriesCreating cross-platform graphics applications, often in gaming, CAD, or visualization sectors
Industry UsageUsed in modern, high-efficiency graphics engines, VR, and real-time renderingWidely used in legacy systems, cross-platform applications, and educational contexts

Vulkan Developers focus on high-performance, low-level graphics programming using the Vulkan API, suitable for modern, resource-intensive applications. OpenGL Developers work with a more established, higher-level API, often for cross-platform compatibility and legacy support. Both roles require strong graphics programming skills but differ in API complexity and application focus.

Job description

Title: Embedded Systems Analyst or Engineer 

Location: Dallas, TX Onsite 

 Key Responsibilities

• Requirements Ownership
o Write clear, testable engineering requirements and acceptance criteria for OS services, middleware, and native/browser app runtimes.
o Maintain bi-directional traceability from product needs to requirements,design, verification, and release artifacts.
o Define interface contracts (APIs/ABIs, IPC, HAL boundaries), sequence/state diagrams, and configuration schemas.
o Create governance for all driver API and registries.
o Establish compatibility and deprecation policies; manage versioning and change control for platform interfaces.
o Specify app lifecycle, foreground/background rules, resource quotas, storage and caching policies, permissions, and update behaviors for native and
browser apps.
o Define requirements for WebView/HTML5 runtimes, extensions, and integration with platform services.
o Set requirements for core services: input, display/composition, audio routing, networking, time/services, storage/FS, power/thermal, and updates.
o Capture constraints for startup ordering, service health, watchdogs, and recovery behaviors.
o Define measurable targets (boot/app launch, responsiveness, memory footprint, standby power, stability) with SLAs and measurement methods.
o Specify profiling/observability requirements (logs, metrics, traces) and acceptance of thresholds without prescribing implementation.
o Author policies for OTA rollout/rollback, gating, and fleet segmentation; define readiness and exit criteria for releases.
o Translate requirements into TDD requirements for test automation.
o Define soak, longevity, and environmental test entry/exit criteria tied to non-functional targets.
o Specify SELinux/AppArmor policy requirements at a high level, permission models, data retention, and privacy-by-default behaviors.
o Capture regional/regulatory requirements, accessibility expectations, localization/internationalization boundaries, and time-to-cert readiness.
o Coordinate with Product, OS/FW, Middleware, App, QA, and ODM partners to resolve requirement conflicts and align on scope, sequencing, and
resourcing.


Required Qualifications
o 7+ years in embedded systems/platforms focused on requirements, system analysis, or platform engineering for consumer devices.
o Embedded Linux and/or Android TV (AOSP) knowledge, including bootloaders, kernel configuration, device trees, init/systemd, and power
management concepts.
o Familiarity with native runtimes/SDKs and browser/HTML5/WebView app models (lifecycle, packaging, permissions, update flows).
o Understanding of services/demons, IPC, and HAL abstractions.
o Strong C/C++ literacy; fundamentals in algorithms, data structures, concurrency, and memory.
o Ability to read schematics/datasheets; comfort with I2C/SPI/UART, GPIO, display/audio paths, input, storage, and connectivity peripherals.
o Proficient with Git, CI/CD, Jira/Confluence; excellent written and verbal communication for cross-functional audiences.


Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with Android TV (AOSP), webOS, Tizen, or Roku OS.
• Exposure to Yocto/Buildroot; familiarity with BSP/device drivers.
• Awareness of graphics/composition (OpenGL ES/Vulkan).
• Experience with factory/production test flows; telemetry/analytics for fleet health.
