## Description

As an Embedded Software Engineer (Multimedia) at Harmattan AI, you will join the R&D team to expand our Linux Board Support Package (BSP) capabilities. You will be the technical lead for CMOS and IR sensor integration, managing the entire video pipeline bring-up. This is a high-impact role that blends sophisticated "desk work" in Linux environments with hands-on "lab work" to validate next-generation hardware prototypes., * Board Support Package (BSP): Expand and maintain Linux BSP capabilities with a specific focus on video pipeline architecture.

 * Sensor Integration: Integrate and configure CMOS and IR camera sensors via MIPI/CSI interfaces.
 * Driver Development: Configure and debug existing drivers within the Linux kernel and chip manufacturer ecosystems (NXP, NVIDIA, Qualcomm).
 * Hardware Validation: Participate in hardware design reviews and validate new designs through schematic review and physical debugging.
 * Reverse Engineering: Perform deep-system reverse engineering when documentation is incomplete to ensure robust system integration.
 * Framework Management: Utilize V4L2 and GStreamer frameworks to achieve glitch-free, continuous video streams for downstream processing.
 * Cross-Functional Support: Collaborate with Optical engineers for ISP tuning, Hardware teams for design reviews, and Computer Vision engineers to ensure acquisition meets algorithmic needs.
