TL;DR · Senior Manager, Embedded Imaging Software

As a Senior Manager, Embedded Imaging Software, you will lead the development of imaging software for the Jetson platform to provide synchronized, low-latency data for robotics and autonomous machines. You will manage a team transitioning to an agentic development workflow while defining the product roadmap and coordinating engineers across camera drivers, image-processing algorithms, streaming frameworks, and developer tools. The role requires translating customer requirements into prioritized capabilities and aligning interdisciplinary teams in research, hardware, and QA to ensure predictable release schedules. You must possess technical depth in C, C++, or Rust systems software and experience with embedded Linux for systems-on-chip. Key domain expertise includes MIPI CSI, GMSL, V4L2, ISP control, and image quality tuning for perception models like VLMs and VLAs to move physical AI from prototype to production.

What you'll do

  • Lead the delivery of sensing and imaging technologies into the Jetson BSP across drivers, algorithms, and frameworks.
  • Translate customer and ecosystem requirements into prioritized product capabilities and measurable outcomes.
  • Define and deliver the imaging software roadmap for the Jetson platform.
  • Coordinate engineering efforts between internal teams and external partners to ensure predictable release schedules.
  • Transition the team toward an agentic development workflow to improve execution velocity and software quality.
  • Develop and mentor engineering managers and senior technical leaders within the organization.
  • Oversee the integration of camera drivers, processing algorithms, and streaming frameworks into production systems.

What we're looking for

  • BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • Relevant software engineering experience.
  • 5+ years of experience leading software teams.
  • Experience developing embedded Linux software for systems-on-chip including device drivers and platform bring-up.
  • Technical depth in C, C++, or Rust systems software for architecture, performance optimization, and debugging.
  • Proven ability to translate market requirements into software roadmaps and align interdisciplinary teams.
  • Hands-on experience with modern agentic tools, skills, and workflows.
  • Knowledge of embedded camera technologies such as MIPI CSI, GMSL, V4L2, or ISP control.
