Engineering Manager – Camera Firmware Platform

Qualification

Partner with Hardware teams and external flash vendors to evaluate, qualify, and validate next-generation storage media. Backend and network storage: Guide the evolution of storage-adjacent backend systems for retention, cloud backup, archives, and storage health notifications. Build on-premises storage appliances where cameras back up footage to RAID-backed hard drives over the LAN, with SMART-based drive health monitoring. Drive firmware platform improvements Boot and shutdown: Optimize boot and shutdown paths across the boot stack, kernel, userspace services, and backend connection. This is critical for reducing downtime and maximizing video footage retention. System resources: Optimize memory, power, and network on resource-constrained embedded devices. Reduce DRAM and flash footprint of firmware services. Prevent brownouts at peak load with power management schemes such as Dynamic Frequency Scaling (DFS). Make network traffic between device and backend more efficient and resilient with techniques such as retry backoff with jitter and connection consolidation. Device State Management: Orchestrate device-level state transitions such as system and service restarts, OTA, DSP pipel
