Responsibilities
- Architect, implement, and troubleshoot video codec and media capture pipelines for wearable devices.
- Develop, configure, and tune video encoders, including rate control and compression algorithms.
- Optimize codec performance across power, thermal, latency, memory, compression, and visual-quality constraints.
- Integrate hardware-accelerated codecs with mobile and embedded media stacks spanning application processor frameworks, firmware, and kernel drivers.
- Implement media container handling, timestamp management, and audio/video synchronization.
- Diagnose video artifacts, synchronization issues, and performance regressions through codec-level and end-to-end debugging.
- Lead technical design and execution for complex media projects and guide interfaces, integrations, and technical roadmaps with camera, hardware, and silicon teams.
- Build and improve automated tests and regression infrastructure for correctness, visual quality, performance, and power consumption.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 7+ years of software development experience in industry settings, or a PhD with 4+ years of experience.
- 3+ years of relevant video software engineering experience with understanding of multimedia stacks, codecs, and containers.
- Experience with multithreaded C/C++ programming.
- Experience leading large or complex projects, defining goals, delivering milestones, and leading teams.
- Preferred experience with image compression and formats including JPEG, HEIC/HEIF, and raw/Bayer compression.
- Preferred experience developing automated media regression tests or using FFmpeg, libavcodec, x264, or x265.
- Preferred experience integrating hardware-accelerated video encoding on mobile or low-power systems-on-chip with Android MediaCodec, Codec2, OpenMAX, or V4L2.
- Preferred knowledge of codec internals including rate control, motion estimation, intra/inter prediction, rate-distortion optimization, and bitstream analysis.
- Preferred experience with media-path firmware or kernel drivers, camera capture integration, and hardware-software integration with silicon vendors.
- Preferred experience evaluating visual quality with PSNR, SSIM, or VMAF and diagnosing compression artifacts and quality regressions.
- Preferred experience with MP4/ISOBMFF containers, muxing and demuxing, timestamp management, and audio/video synchronization.
- Preferred experience optimizing media software for power, thermal, latency, and memory-bandwidth constraints on wearable, mobile, or embedded devices.
- Preferred experience implementing, configuring, or tuning production video encoders using H.264/AVC, H.265/HEVC, VP9, or AV1.
- Preferred ongoing AI skill development, AI workflow integration, and responsible and ethical AI practices.
Benefits
- Annual base salary of $183,997 to $257,000, plus bonus, equity, and benefits.
- Role focuses on wearable, mobile, and embedded-device media systems; no explicit work arrangement is stated.
