Job Summary

Own the end-to-end strategy for a portfolio of embedded developer SDKs, defining architecture, roadmap, and release execution across video analytics, real-time sensor dataflow, and distributed compute/communication middleware. Drive performance, real-time determinism, and mixed-criticality safety for heterogeneous CPU/GPU/NPU pipelines. Deliver a best-in-class developer experience through tooling, packaging/distribution, documentation, sample apps, and ecosystem enablement while leading global engineering teams.

Location: San Jose, Austin

Workplace: Onsite

Employment Type: Full time

Job Function: Software Engineering

Seniority: Manager level

Key Responsibilities

•Define the end-to-end SDK architecture for video analytics pipelines, graph runtime/dataflow orchestration, real-time communication, multimedia integration, vision pipelines, and ROS2-adjacent integrations.
•Own system design for heterogeneous sensor ingestion, including time synchronization and deterministic behavior under load (bounded latency, scheduling, backpressure, QoS).
•Ensure SDK runtime supports mixed-criticality systems, including real-time determinism, isolation/safety patterns, fault containment, and efficient memory/bandwidth usage across CPU/GPU and DMA/zero-copy paths.
•Deliver developer experience excellence through simple APIs, strong documentation/tutorials/reference apps, and tooling such as profiling, tracing, pipeline visualization, graph debugging, and replay tools; establish packaging/distribution strategy (versioning/compatibility, containers, cross-compile toolchains, reproducible builds, multi-OS support).
•Lead roadmap and operational excellence: feature prioritization, release trains, quality gates (CI/CD, tests, security scanning, ABI/API stability testing) and hire/mentor/scale a global engineering team while partnering with silicon, system software, product, and field.

Key Requirements

•BS, MS (or equivalent) with direct experience.
•Experience building cohesive developer SDKs (APIs, samples, docs, packaging, release management) and leading engineering organizations with global teams.
•Deep hands-on expertise in heterogeneous sensor pipelines, time synchronization, mixed-criticality real-time constraints, and distributed systems.
•Track record ensuring performance and real-time determinism (bounded latency, scheduling, backpressure) plus safety patterns and fault containment for runtimes.
•Strong developer experience ownership: tooling (profiling/tracing/visualization/debugging), and packaging/distribution strategy including versioning/compatibility and long-term support.
