The position involves close collaboration with audio engineers, hardware teams, and external partners to ensure seamless system integration and optimal product performance. You will play a key role in optimizing codecs, streaming protocols, and real-time data pipelines for demanding environments. Operating in a remote, highly technical engineering team, this role combines deep hands-on development with strategic input into product evolution. It is an opportunity to directly influence the performance and architecture of complex embedded AV platforms.
Accountabilities:
Design, develop, and maintain embedded firmware for advanced Linux-based platforms supporting audiovisual systems
Integrate and optimize audio/video codecs, streaming protocols, and media frameworks such as RTP/RTSP, AVB, and AES67
Develop low-level drivers and middleware components to support high-throughput, real-time AV processing pipelines
Collaborate with audio and hardware engineers to integrate and tune signal processing systems across embedded platforms
Debug, profile, and optimize system performance using embedded Linux tools and industry-standard debugging utilities
Maintain robust source control practices using Git within multi-branch collaborative development environments
Ensure firmware and system designs meet regulatory compliance standards such as FCC, CE, and RoHS
Support technical documentation of firmware architecture, specifications, and implementation details
Contribute to product roadmap discussions and ongoing platform performance and feature improvements
Requirements:
7+ years of experience in embedded systems firmware engineering or a closely related role
Strong proficiency in C/C++ development for embedded Linux environments
Experience with Yocto Project build systems, ideally on NXP-based platforms
Deep understanding of audio/video codecs, streaming protocols, and real-time data processing
Hands-on experience with kernel configuration, device tree modification, and driver development
Strong Git experience including branching, merging, and collaborative code review workflows
Ability to create clear technical documentation using tools such as Visio, Omnigraffle, or similar
Strong understanding of embedded system compliance requirements (FCC, CE, RoHS)
Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with cross-functional engineering teams
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to operate in complex, performance-critical environments
Benefits:
Competitive compensation aligned with experience and technical expertise
Remote-first work environment
Opportunity to work on next-generation audiovisual embedded technologies
Health, dental, and vision insurance coverage
Retirement savings plan options (where applicable)
Paid time off and company holidays
Professional development and exposure to cutting-edge embedded Linux and AV systems
Collaboration with highly specialized engineering teams across hardware and software domains
