Senior Embedded SW Developer

You will work end-to-end across the Android stack (kernel, HAL, framework, system services) to create robust systems for camera, audio, HDMI, USB, and connectivity. 

Our systems cater for meeting rooms equipped with Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTR-A, MTR-W), Zoom Rooms (ZR), BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) setups, and other Video-as-a-Service (VaaS) platforms. 

The Team you will be part of:

You will join an international, cross-functional product organization, working closely with a large team of Embedded SW SMEs split between Italy and Denmark.

Your contribution is appreciated, and you will:

• Design, develop, and maintain our Android-based embedded Video systems for dedicated room devices.   

• Work across Linux kernel, device drivers, HAL, Android framework, and system services. 

• Implement and optimize video and audio pipelines using Android multimedia and audio APIs. 

• Design and optimize HDMI (video output, EDID/CEC, multi-display, resolution/refresh-rate) and USB (cameras, audio devices, peripherals, hubs, hot-plug).  

• Ensure seamless customer experience for: 

Microsoft Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms

BYOD mode where the system exposes HDMI/USB to a user’s laptop   

Other VaaS clients (e.g., Google Meet, browser-based or native apps)   

• Support hardware bring-up and integration of cameras, microphones, speakers, HDMI displays/projectors, USB devices, touch panels, Ethernet/Wi‑Fi/Bluetooth.   

• Profile and optimize performance, power consumption, stability, and reliability for real-time conferencing workloads.   

• Design and implement HAL modules and platform services to expose hardware capabilities to applications.   

• Collaborate closely with colleagues in Italy and Denmark (Developers, Product Owners, Testers) and participate in design and code reviews.   

• Mentor other engineers and contribute to technical direction and best practices. 

To perform well in the role, we imagine that you have:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, or similar.  

• Solid experience in embedded software development on Android.

• Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems and good experience with Java and Kotlin for Android.  

• Direct AOSP involvement (build system, system image creation, HAL implementation, framework/system services)

• Good understanding of Linux kernel fundamentals, device drivers, and low-level debugging.  

• Practical experience with real-time audio/video on embedded devices (codecs, synchronization, buffering, performance tuning).  

• Experience with HDMI and USB in embedded systems (drivers, configuration, troubleshooting, interoperability).  

• Solid networking knowledge relevant to conferencing (TCP/UDP, RTP/RTCP, QoS, NAT traversal).  

• Familiarity with adb, logcat, profiling tools, Git, and CI/CD pipelines.  

• Experience with ATDD (Acceptance Test Driven Development) or similar test-first, specification-by-example practices, working closely with Product Owners and Testers. 

• Ownership mindset and ability to see topics through to completion.

• Collaborative, structured, detail-oriented way of working and good communication skills in English.

• Curiosity and interest in staying up to date with Android, embedded, and multimedia technologies.
