Senior Engineer-Multimedia Platform

Role: Senior Engineer Multimedia Platform

Experience: 5-10 Years

Location: Hyderabad, India

Role Summary

We are looking for a Senior Engineer with strong experience in Embedded Multimedia and Linux BSP engineering to work across the multimedia stack, including audio, video, display, graphics, camera, and sensors/DSP. The role involves multimedia sustenance, defect resolution, root-cause analysis, driver/HAL debugging, camera-to-compute pipeline integration, and release validation. The engineer will work closely with the Pod Lead and contribute to RCA and knowledge repositories.

Key Responsibilities

• Implement and validate fixes for customer-reported and internal defects across assigned multimedia domains such as audio, video, display, graphics, camera ISP, and sensors/DSP.
• Support the camera-to-compute pipeline (Sensor ISP Compute) and video post-processing chain, including integration with downstream AI/vision consumers.
• Perform root-cause analysis using Linux kernel logs, ADSP/DSP core dumps, multimedia framework traces, JTAG, and crash-dump analysis.
• Maintain and debug multimedia HAL and driver code across firmware and driver updates.
• Work with V4L2, DRM, ALSA, hardware codec pipelines, and multimedia framework components.
• Work with Camera ISP, CamX/Chi-CDK, camera tuning tools, and related camera pipeline components.
• Work with H.264/H.265/AV1 video codecs and hardware codec pipelines.
• Support Adreno GPU driver stack, OpenGL ES/Vulkan, and Hexagon DSP-based multimedia components.
• Develop/debug video post-processing functionality such as scaling, colour conversion, and filtering.
• Execute release validation against reference test suites and customer use cases.
• Contribute technical findings, RCA, and solutions to the pod knowledge base and RCA repository.

Must-Have Skills

• 5-10 years of experience in Embedded Multimedia / Linux BSP engineering.
• Strong C/C++ programming and Linux kernel driver debugging.
• Hands-on experience with V4L2, DRM, and ALSA.
• Experience with Camera ISP, CamX/Chi-CDK architecture, and camera tuning tools.
• Strong understanding of H.264/H.265/AV1 and hardware video codec pipelines.
• Experience with Adreno GPU, OpenGL ES/Vulkan.
• Knowledge of Hexagon DSP, JTAG, kernel crash dumps, and debugging.
• Experience in video post-processing such as scaling, colour conversion, and filtering.
• Experience with camera-to-compute pipeline integration and downstream AI/vision consumers.

Good-to-Have Skills

• Multi-camera synchronization and multi-stream concurrency.
• AI/ML inference pipeline integration with zero-copy buffer sharing to NPU.
• GStreamer pipeline development.
• HDR, tone mapping, and colour science.
• Experience with Chromatix or equivalent camera tuning tools.
• Experience integrating multimedia pipelines with AI/vision workloads.
