From the original posting

The Role

Build the embedded Linux software that turns cameras and sensors into recording systems people can use every day. Your work will preserve the timing and integrity of the data that Mecka collects for robot learning, from the first board bring-up through years of operation.

Bring depth in camera systems or device platforms. You will solve problems close to the hardware, where throughput, power, storage, and recovery must work together through long recording sessions and interruptions.

Relevant Specializations

Bring depth in at least one of these areas:

Camera systems: Linux drivers, capture and encoding, sensor synchronization, buffering, storage throughput, and sustained recording performance.
Device platforms: boot and system images, provisioning, device identity, remote updates, rollback, and recovery after interrupted installations.

What You Will Do

Develop and debug embedded Linux software on real capture hardware, from board bring-up through deployment.
Build reliable services and data paths that preserve recordings through long sessions and interrupted operations.
Measure and improve system performance, power consumption, resource use, and recovery behavior.
Reproduce field failures with hardware and test engineers, and validate fixes across supported device configurations.

What You Bring

Strong C or C++ skills and proficiency in Python or shell scripting for embedded development.
Understanding of Linux processes, threads, memory management, I/O, filesystems, and system-level debugging.
Hands-on experience developing and troubleshooting software on ARM or comparable embedded hardware.
Ability to profile resource use and reason about concurrency, timing, data integrity, and failure recovery.
Experience building reproducible software releases and testing behavior under realistic hardware and operating conditions.

Nice to Have

Experience with V4L2, GStreamer, camera ISPs, Yocto, Buildroot, signed updates, or hardware-in-the-loop testing.
