Description
Leverage advanced video and computer vision engineering expertise to research, design, and implement critical video processing and computer vision algorithms, including video encoder, decoder, processing, quality enhancement, and real‑time computer vision pipelines, from concept through production deployment. Lead system‑ and algorithm‑level architecture definition, standard studies, and feature decomposition to drive hardware and software requirements and specifications. Profile and optimize algorithm and model performance across memory, compute, power, and bandwidth constraints on mobile and embedded platforms. Collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams (hardware, software, systems, and product) and with customers to commercialize technologies and deliver best‑in‑class visual analytics experiences. Write clear and concise technical documentation, design specifications, and feature descriptions to guide internal teams and external partners. Contribute effectively in a fast‑paced, highly collaborative environment with globally distributed, cross‑functional teams. Provide technical mentorship and guidance to engineers across experience levels and influence technical decisions beyond the immediate team. Works independently with minimal supervision. Provides technical leadership, supervision, and guidance to other team members. Decision‑making impacts work beyond the immediate work group. Requires strong verbal and written communication skills; may require negotiation, influence, and tact. Has significant technical influence over key product, architecture, and organizational decisions. Tasks require multi‑step planning, prioritization, and problem‑solving, with flexibility in execution order to achieve objectives efficiently.
