Role & Responsibilities

- Design, develop, and debug multimedia subsystems (audio, video, display) on Android and embedded Linux platforms

- Work across the full multimedia stack: kernel drivers, vendor HALs, and framework-level components

- Implement and maintain Codec2 (C2) HAL components for hardware/software video and audio codecs

- Develop and debug ALSA-based audio drivers and audio HAL integration

- Work with V4L2 for camera and video decode/encode pipelines

- Debug and optimize the display pipeline using DRM/KMS, HWComposer, and SurfaceFlinger

- Integrate and validate hardware codecs for H.264, H.265 (HEVC), VP9, AAC, and MP3

- Use GStreamer for pipeline development, testing, and multimedia application integration

- Bring up and validate multimedia stacks on new SoC platforms (Qualcomm, Rockchip, or similar)

- Root-cause and resolve issues related to audio/video sync, latency, buffer management, and playback stability

- Collaborate with SoC vendors, kernel teams, and application teams to resolve cross-layer issues

- Profile and optimize performance using tools such as Perfetto, systrace, and similar diagnostics

- Write clean, maintainable C/C++ code and contribute to AOSP-based codebases





- Document technical designs, debug findings, and stack architecture

Preferred Candidate Profile

- Robust hands-on experience with Android and Linux multimedia frameworks

- Proficient in C and C++ with solid understanding of low-level system programming

- Deep knowledge of ALSA (audio), V4L2 (video capture/decode), and DRM/KMS (display)

- Experience with Android Codec2 (C2) HAL architecture and MediaCodec framework

- Working knowledge of video/audio codecs: H.264, H.265, VP9, AAC, MP3

- Experience with GStreamer pipeline development and debugging

- Familiarity with AOSP build system and HAL/kernel driver development

- Experience with embedded hardware platforms (Qualcomm, Rockchip, Raspberry Pi, or similar SoCs) is a plus

- Understanding of SurfaceFlinger, HWComposer, and Android graphics stack is a plus

- Strong debugging skills using tools like Perfetto, logcat, dmesg, gdb, and strace

- B.E./B.Tech in CS, EE, or related field with 3+ years of relevant experience

- Good communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally with hardware/SoC vendor teams
