TL;DR · Multimedia Project Engineering Lead

The Multimedia Project Engineering Lead joins the Multimedia Systems engineering group to design and develop technologies for content generation and manipulation. This role involves analyzing use cases for speech, audio, imaging, computer vision, display, sensing, biometrics, and augmented/virtual reality. You will perform functional decomposition to drive requirements for hardware and software implementation, use simulation modeling to optimize performance and power, and lead cross-functional teams to create well-defined architectures. Key responsibilities include overseeing technical visions for testing, managing complex data engineering for machine learning solutions, and evaluating topologies against cost and performance variables. You will utilize deep technical expertise to resolve complex algorithm issues, provide coaching, and share best practices from the open-source community to solve intricate multimedia systems-level problems.

What you'll do

  • Create well-defined architectures that meet ambiguous requirements and have a significant financial impact.
  • Lead cross-functional efforts to gather customer requirements and communicate a technical vision for product design.
  • Oversee technical vision for testing, data analysis, and validation of designs against the technology roadmap.
  • Review escalated algorithm issues to provide direction, coaching, and technical solutions for complex problems.
  • Evaluate topologies against performance and cost variables to recommend complex routes that maximize quality and reduce risk.
  • Provide technical expertise for training and evaluating machine learning solutions and communicating progress to stakeholders.
  • Identify industry trends and define future solutions by contributing to short- and long-term strategic product roadmaps.
  • Resolve complex design issues and support multiple teams in documenting technical and overall system issues.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 8+ years of Systems Engineering experience.
  • Master's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 7+ years of Systems Engineering experience.
  • PhD in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 6+ years of Systems Engineering experience.
  • Master’s degree or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field (preferred).
  • 11+ years of Systems Engineering or related work experience (preferred).
  • 2+ years of experience in multimedia technology areas such as speech, audio, imaging, or computer vision (preferred).
