Job Description
Senior Android engineer owning HAL3, Camera2, and CameraX frameworks. Building privacy-conscious, zero-copy camera pipelines for Fresh Consulting’s digital innovation projects.
Responsibilities:
- Own the camera HAL3 implementation and keep it sound across platform updates
- Integrate the vendor ISP pipeline, including node graphs, use cases, and capture request handling
- Solve the concurrent-stream problem for preview, stills, video, and ML inference sharing one sensor
- Build zero-copy buffer paths to the encoder and display to minimize CPU and power cost
- Own camera metadata, including what a vision-language model needs to interpret a frame correctly
- Configure stabilization against continuous head motion using hardware timestamps provided by the kernel team
- Design how thermal limits surface to applications and users ahead of time, never as a silent failure
- Own the privacy path, including capture indicators, permissions, and SELinux policy
- Ship the Camera2 and CameraX surface that first- and third-party apps build against
Requirements:
- 5+ years of experience in the Android camera framework
- Hands-on HAL3 / AIDL camera HAL work; has implemented or substantially rewritten one, not only configured it
- 3+ years of experience in C++ programming
- Fluency in the camera metadata model
- Experience with stream configuration and buffer management across concurrent use cases
- Experience with Camera2 and CameraX
- Experience with the AOSP build system, SELinux, and SEPolicy
- Comfortable on both sides of the HAL boundary, equally at home in logcat and in kernel traces
- Experience with Qualcomm CamX / Chi-CDK
- Experience with zero-copy media pipelines (MediaCodec, Gralloc, DRM)
- Camera work outside the phone form factor, especially without a conventional viewfinder
- Experience feeding ML inference from a live camera pipeline
- Experience with capture devices built under privacy regulation (GDPR, EU AI Act)
- Experience with CTS / VTS camera compliance
Benefits:
- Unlimited PTO
- 401(k) match
