This is an opportunity for an experienced Camera / Embedded Linux Engineer who enjoys working close to the hardware and deep inside the Linux and Android camera stack—solving the complex problems that happen where image sensors, drivers, kernel, ISP, multimedia frameworks, and Android come together.

You’ll contribute to a unified camera technology platform powering multiple product families used in conference rooms, classrooms, auditoriums, home offices, and enterprise environments worldwide. Your work will have a direct impact on camera performance, video quality, system stability, and the overall user experience of commercially deployed products.

Rather than working only at the application layer, you’ll have the opportunity to investigate and solve problems across the complete camera pipeline, from hardware interfaces and Linux kernel drivers through Android and multimedia frameworks.

You may find yourself analyzing kernel logs and driver behavior, tracing frames through V4L2 and the ISP, debugging MIPI CSI-2 communication, investigating Android Camera HAL behavior, tuning GStreamer pipelines, or determining whether a difficult problem originates in the sensor, hardware interface, kernel, driver, multimedia stack, or higher software layers.

We value senior engineers who want more than a predefined list of implementation tasks. You’ll have the opportunity to own complex technical topics from investigation through solution, contribute to architecture and engineering decisions, and work directly with globally distributed technical stakeholders.
