Software Engineer, Camera Driver

About the Role

Key Responsibilities

• Work on bringing up and debugging camera sensors at the register and protocol level (I2C, MIPI CSI).
• Develop and maintain kernel-mode device drivers for camera and imaging sensors, ensuring proper initialization, calibration, power sequencing, and performance.
• Implement and extend the Camera HAL, bridging the gap between low-level hardware drivers and higher-level frameworks such as Android Camera API.
• Collaborate with silicon vendors, board design engineers, and platform teams to enable sensor functionality and optimize imaging performance.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 7+ years of software development experience in industry settings or PhD with 4+ years of experience.
• 3+ years relevant camera software engineering experience in industry settings.
• Experience developing and debugging in C/C++.
• Experience leading large or complex projects, defined goals, and delivering milestones by leading teams.
• Experience with Qualcomm, MediaTek, or NVIDIA Jetson camera stack and SoC-specific drivers.
• Embedded, Linux kernel development, and device driver programming experience.
• Understanding and experience working with Camera HALs, and camera service layers.
• Knowledge of image signal processing pipelines and tuning workflows (e.g., Auto Exposure, Auto Focus, Auto White Balance).
• Solid understanding of embedded hardware debugging, register-level programming, and low-level interfaces (I2C, SPI, GPIO, clocks).
• Hands-on expertise with camera sensor bring-up, including Inter-Integrated Circuit configuration and Camera Serial Interface.

Nice to Have

• Experience working with image signal processing pipelines and tuning workflows.
• Familiarity with camera sensor bring-up and low-level hardware debugging.
