Embedded Systems Engineer - Video Systems
We are recruiting an experienced Lead Embedded Software Engineer to join an established technology business working on the development of advanced video systems. This is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on engineer with strong embedded software development skills and practical experience of video encoding, decoding and real-time processing. You'll take technical ownership of embedded software development, working closely with hardware engineers and other technical specialists to design, develop and deliver reliable, high-performance video solutions. Below covers everything you need to know about what this opportunity entails, as well as what is expected from applicants.
Key Responsibilities - Lead embedded software architecture, development and system integration. - Develop and maintain embedded software using C/C++. - Design and optimise real-time video encoding and decoding workflows. - Integrate hardware codecs, vendor SDKs, drivers and associated software. - Develop and debug hardware interfaces, including I2C, SPI, UART and Ethernet. - Optimise video performance, including latency, image quality, buffering and synchronisation. - Support hardware integration, board bring-up and system-level debugging. - Develop networking, control and monitoring functionality. - Establish robust testing, diagnostics and firmware update processes. - Work collaboratively with hardware engineers and external technical specialists.
Essential Skills & Experience - Strong commercial experience in embedded software development using C/C++. - Proven experience working with video encoding, decoding and real-time video processing. - Hands-on experience developing and debugging software on physical hardware. - Embedded Linux development experience. - Experience integrating hardware codecs, drivers and vendor SDKs. - Good understanding of video pipelines, buffering, memory management and latency. - Knowledge of Ethernet/IP networking and associated protocols. - Ability to troubleshoot complex issues across software and hardware. - Experience taking embedded systems from prototype through to production.
Desirable Experience - H.264 / H.265 (HEVC) video encoding and decoding. - SRT or comparable real-time video transport protocols. - FPGA / SoC platforms and associated development tools. - GStreamer or similar multimedia frameworks. - SDI video, 4K processing and audio synchronisation. - Experience with low-latency video systems.
The Opportunity This is a senior, hands-on engineering position offering considerable technical autonomy and the opportunity to influence the design and development of sophisticated video technology. xehkeey
