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.
Solve Problems That Require Real Engineering
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.
Technical Ownership & Global Product Impact
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.
Required Expertise
Must have
8+ years of embedded/low-level development experience, with 4–5+ years focused on Linux / Android BSP and camera or multimedia subsystem integration
Strong C/C++ programming skills
Strong experience with Linux kernel camera drivers and V4L2 (including sub-device drivers)
Proven experience integrating and maintaining Android Camera HAL
Hands-on experience with camera sensor bring-up and board-level integration
Experience working with Device Tree / DTBO overlays, including power sequencing, reset, and clock (MCLK) configuration
Experience with ISP and image quality (IQ) pipelines, including
3A algorithms (AE, AWB, AF),
Lens Shading Correction (LSC),
Temporal Noise Reduction (TNR)
Ability to debug complex camera pipelines across kernel and user space
Experience with Git/Gerrit and build systems (Yocto or AOSP)
Strong understanding of embedded Linux and Android system architecture
Experience with camera validation and debugging frameworks.
Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the manner to effectively collaborate for the successful project delivery and to take ownership of complex technical challenges.
Nice to have
Experience with Qualcomm’s CHI pipeline
Experience with ISP pipelines and proprietary HAL implementations
Knowledge of multimedia frameworks such as GStreamer or OpenCV
Experience working with high-resolution or multi-camera systems
Familiarity with automated validation frameworks for camera subsystems
Understanding of Android CTS/GTS compliance and metadata policies
Expected Deliverables and Areas of Contribution
Take responsibility for cross-platform camera architecture and board bring-up deliverables across Linux and Android platforms.
Develop and maintain Linux camera drivers, including V4L2 sub-device drivers.
Integrate, maintain, and optimize Android Camera HAL components.
Design and validate Device Tree / DTBO overlays, including power, reset, and MCLK configuration.
Develop automated media graph validation, streaming verification, and long-running stress test suites.
Tune image quality pipelines using vendor-provided IQ tools.
Collaborate with project hardware teams to validate and troubleshoot CSI timing, PHY configuration, and camera sensor integration.
Collaborate with project silicon and camera vendors to support platform integration and resolve technical issues.
Prepare and maintain technical documentation related to camera bring-up and platform integration.
Support performance optimization, platform stability, and long-term maintainability.
