About the Role

As a Camera Firmware Engineer, you will own low-level camera enablement on custom hardware—from early board bring-up through stable production capture. You will develop and maintain the firmware and software that makes camera sensors reliable, controllable, and debuggable, forming the foundation for higher-level camera pipelines and product features.

In This Role, You Will

• Bring up new camera sensors and modules on prototype and production boards, including link stability, sensor control, and correct power, reset, and clock sequencing.

• Develop and maintain low-level camera software, including sensor drivers, board configuration, and camera subsystem integration across hardware revisions.

• Enable and validate core capture paths for development and production, including RAW capture for debugging, still capture, and hardware-accelerated video encode and streaming with stable timestamps and long-duration reliability.

• Stand up camera control and repeatability features, including basic 3A loop exposure, manual overrides and locks, and deterministic presets to support validation and debugging.

• Build and maintain camera bring-up tooling, such as capture scripts, automated sweeps, manifests, and debugging utilities that make issues reproducible and easy to triage.

• Partner closely with electrical engineering, camera pipeline owners, and systems teams to define interfaces, unblock integration, and keep the camera stack stable as the device evolves.

You might thrive in this role if you:

• Deep experience shipping embedded camera systems, including sensor bring-up, driver development, and board-level debugging.

• Strong C/C++ experience with embedded or Linux-based systems; comfortable debugging across kernel and userspace boundaries.

• Hands-on understanding of common camera hardware interfaces (for example, MIPI CSI and sensor control buses) and the practical realities of bring-up, including power, reset, clocking, and sequencing.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with common mobile or embedded SoC camera stacks and vendor frameworks.

• Experience integrating and debugging hardware acceleration blocks adjacent to camera pipelines, such as video encode and decode paths.

• Familiarity building higher-level capture pipelines (for example, GStreamer) on top of low-level camera enablement.

• Bring strong systems debugging skills using debuggers, tracers, profilers, and logs across kernel/user‑space boundaries.

• Understand configuration of platform services and interfaces, and can translate requirements into stable, well‑documented APIs.

• Are fluent in user‑space foundations (service management, IPC, networking, packaging, automation).

• Have experience building platform images and designing update mechanisms for reliability and security.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Exposure to platform security (secure boot, sandboxing, mandatory access controls, attestation).

• Experience with graphics/media, hardware acceleration, or high‑throughput data paths.

• Familiarity with connectivity stacks and network configuration.

• Observability and diagnostics in distributed or resource‑constrained environments.

• Work on open‑source platforms or contributions to systems projects.
