Job Description

We are seeking an Embedded Software Engineer with expertise in C++ and Computer Vision to drive the development of our high-performance Video Analytics Engine. You will focus on building, porting, and optimizing real-time video processing capabilities across diverse embedded hardware and SOC platforms. Working with modern architectures (GStreamer), you will bridge deep learning models with low-level system software to deliver ultra-low latency edge analytics.

Key Responsibilities

• Core C++ Development: Design, write, and maintain high-efficiency C++ software components for core video analytics libraries.
• Multi-Platform Optimization: Port and optimize algorithms, memory allocation, and hardware usage across diverse embedded platforms (Edge AI, Smart Cameras, SOCs).
• Video Pipeline Integration: Build low-latency, real-time video processing pipelines integrated with GStreamer frameworks.
• Model Deployment: Collaborate with AI engineers to optimize and deploy Deep Learning/Computer Vision models into production edge environments.
• System-level Debugging: Identify and resolve system bottlenecks, memory leaks, multi-threading concurrency issues, and latency spikes.

Basic Requirements

• Bachelor/Master Degree in any Software Engineer, Computer Science or any relevant field
• 4+ years of professional C++ development experience (C++11/14/17).
• Strong hands-on expertise in Linux and Embedded Linux environments.
• Deep understanding of memory management, multi-threading, concurrency, and performance profiling.
• Practical experience in Computer Vision and image processing libraries (e.g., OpenCV, TensorRT).
• Proven track record of debugging and optimizing resource-constrained system software.

Nice to Have

• Deep experience with GStreamer framework and video codecs (H.264/H.265, RTSP).
• Experience optimizing software for specific hardware accelerators/SOCs (e.g., Nvidia Jetson, Ambarella, Qualcomm, NXP).
• Familiarity with hardware acceleration APIs (CUDA, OpenCL).
