Dear Connections,

We are Hiring : Linux Camera Developer

• Location : Hyderabad
• Experience : 5-10yrs

1. Camera Driver Development & Integration

• Develop, maintain, and enhance V4L2 (Video4Linux2) camera drivers.
• Integrate camera sensors (e.g., Sony, Omnivision) with ISP (Image Signal Processor) pipelines.
• Enable sensor features and support sensor initialization, streaming, and control operations on embedded Linux.

2. Middleware & HAL Layer Implementation

• Develop and adapt camera HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) for Linux or Android platforms.
• Interface camera hardware with middleware stacks like GStreamer, libcamera, or vendor-specific solutions.
• Work on device tree configuration and kernel-to-user-space interfacing.

3. Camera Tuning & Optimization

• Tune ISP parameters such as:
• Auto White Balance (AWB)
• Auto Exposure (AE)
• Auto Focus (AF)
• Collaborate with ISP algorithm teams to improve image quality under various lighting and scene conditions.

4. Debugging & Validation

• Bring-up new camera modules on custom hardware.
• Analyze logs and debug camera stack using tools like:
• media-ctl, v4l2-ctl
• GStreamer pipelines
• Custom test frameworks
• Validate image quality and camera performance.

5. Performance Optimization

• Optimize latency, throughput, and power consumption of the camera pipeline.
• Benchmark and profile performance for real-time or low-power applications.

6. Collaboration with Cross-Functional Teams

• Coordinate with teams across hardware, kernel, middleware, and user-space applications.
• Work closely with SoC vendors and camera module suppliers for feature enablement and issue resolution.

7. Support for Multi-Camera Systems

• Enable and synchronize multi-camera use cases such as:
• Stereo vision
• 360° and surround-view systems
• Multi-sensor streaming and fusion

Expertise Required

• Programming Skills
• Proficient in C/C++ for kernel and user-space development.
• Experience with multithreading, performance optimization, and memory handling in embedded systems.
• Linux & Embedded Systems
• Solid background in Embedded Linux environments.
• Hands-on with Yocto, Buildroot, or AOSP for building Linux/Android images.
• Camera Frameworks & APIs
• In-depth knowledge of V4L2 API and camera control IOCTLs.
• Familiarity with libcamera, GStreamer, and camera pipeline development.
• Image Signal Processing (ISP)
• Understanding of ISP components (3A: Auto Focus, Auto Exposure, Auto White Balance).
• Experience with image tuning tools and workflows.
• Sensor Interfaces
• Strong understanding of MIPI CSI-2, I2C, and camera module interfacing.
• Experience with low-level sensor bring-up and timing/debugging tools (e.g., logic analyzers, scope).
• Debugging & Profiling
• Proficient with tools: dmesg, strace, gdb, perf, media-ctl, v4l2-ctl.
• Ability to trace and resolve kernel/user-space interaction issues.
• Android-Specific Knowledge (if applicable)
• Familiar with Camera HAL3, AOSP camera stack, and Android camera debugging tools (logcat, camera_dbg).
