Implement low-level drivers and middleware for high-throughput AV pipelines
Collaborate with audio engineers to integrate and tune signal processing on platforms
Debug and profile system performance using industry-standard embedded tools and Linux utilities
Maintain source control best practices using Git in a collaborative, multi-branch environment
Ensure designs meet regulatory compliance requirements (e.g. FCC, CE, RoHS) for embedded electronics
Work on a hands-on basis, executing as a liaison in the electronics design elements of the project.
Envision and develop ongoing management of product feature roadmap and platform evolution, enhancing firmware performance and efficiency.
Support the ongoing production of comprehensive documentation for developed firmware, including technical specification and implementation details.
Stay updated with the latest industry trends and embedded firmware technologies to maintain relevance in the field.

Qualifications

Experience: A minimum of seven years or more of practical work experience in the same or related role required, with the technical expertise needed to be considered a seasoned contributor, able to work independently in position responsibilities.
Proficiencies:

Strong understanding of audio/video codecs, streaming protocols, and real-time data handling
Familiarity with kernel configuration, device tree modification, and driver integration
Demonstrated use of Git for version control, including branching, merging, and code review workflows
Comfortable creating technical documentation of complex systems using CAD, Omnigraffle, Visio or similar.

Compliance: Knowledge of compliance considerations for embedded hardware/software systems
Collaboration: Able to work closely with cross-functional teams to define system requirements and specifications and ensure seamless integration of software with hardware.
Self-Management: Ability to work independently with a strong sense of self-motivation and deep technical expertise.
