## Description

You'll make Mecka's capture hardware practical for the people recording the real world. You'll build the Android applications that connect our devices, guide recording, and show users their progress and how to recover when something goes wrong. The work sits where physical hardware, mobile software and everyday use meet. Getting it right across many phones and operating conditions helps more people contribute high-quality data for robot learning.

What You'll Do

 * Build clear app workflows for connecting hardware and capturing data.
 * Integrate device interfaces and media capabilities into native Android software.
 * Design status displays and recovery flows so users stay on track through disconnections, permission changes and interrupted transfers.
 * Improve responsiveness, video performance, memory use and battery consumption across supported phones.
 * Add diagnostics, and work with firmware engineers to reproduce issues and test complete user workflows.
