Job Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a closely related field.
- 3–5 years of hands-on experience working with modern video codecs in an R&D, engineering, standards, or video quality role (e.g., AV1, HEVC/H.265, VVC, VP9), including implementing, integrating, or optimizing codecs.
- Strong understanding of video compression fundamentals (e.g., motion estimation, transform coding, prediction, rate control, entropy coding) and HDR video concepts (e.g., PQ/HLG, color spaces, tone mapping).
- Experience reading and working from codec specifications or reference implementations for one or more standards (such as AV1, H.264/AVC, H.265/HEVC, VVC).
- Demonstrated proficiency in one or more relevant programming/scripting languages (e.g., C/C++, Python, MATLAB) for building tools, automating tests, or analyzing codec behavior.
- Ability to clearly explain complex technical topics in writing and verbally to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines.
- Approximately 40% domestic travel (for client meetings, expert meetings, source code reviews, depositions/trials, conferences).
