MetroStarReston, Virginia, United States · Posted 3 days agoDescription
As Sr. Embedded Engineer I, Edge Capture, you'll build the camera systems and on-device software that feed our video intelligence products, working alongside an agile team of AI engineers, data engineers, and DevOps engineers supporting federal and defense customers.
We know that you can't have great technology services without amazing people. At MetroStar, we are obsessed with our people and have led a two-decade legacy of building the best and brightest teams. Because we know our future relies on our deep understanding and relentless focus on our people, we live by our mission: A passion for our people. Value for our customers.
If you think you can see yourself delivering our mission and pursuing our goals with us, then check out the job description below!
What you’ll do:
- Own our edge capture devices end to end, from board bring-up and on-device software through the physical form factor that goes into the field
- Perform bring-up and configuration on embedded Linux platforms, including flashing, kernel and device tree configuration, camera module enablement, and driver troubleshooting
- Build and maintain on-device capture pipelines that record synchronized video and audio, attach sensor telemetry, and hold up under sustained field use
- Design capture behavior that degrades gracefully in denied, disrupted, intermittent, and limited bandwidth environments, including local buffering and store-and-forward delivery
- Integrate and synchronize sensors across capture types, including depth and stereo cameras, inertial measurement units, and positioning receivers, and you'll get their timestamps to line up
- Take development kits and off-the-shelf components and turn them into fieldable units, working through enclosure, mounting, power, and thermal constraints, with rapid prototyping to iterate on the design
- Produce bills of materials, assembly instructions, and test procedures
- Present design tradeoffs and test results to a diverse audience in presentation or report form, including senior leadership and customer stakeholders
What you’ll need to succeed:
- Strong experience with embedded Linux on ARM based systems on chip, including NVIDIA Jetson platforms, device tree configuration, and CSI camera enablement
- 5 years of hands-on development in C, C++, and Python on resource constrained devices
- Expert experience with video capture and encoding pipelines, including GStreamer, V4L2, hardware accelerated H.264 and H.265 encoding, and RTSP or WebRTC transport
- Strong experience integrating and synchronizing sensors such as inertial measurement units and GNSS receivers, including calibration and timestamp alignment across streams
- Experience delivering media and telemetry to cloud services, including object storage, resumable and chunked uploads, and retry behavior under unreliable connectivity
- Demonstrated experience integrating development kits and commercial off-the-shelf components into a working device that went to the field, including the packaging, power, and mounting work that required
- Working knowledge of power budgeting, battery systems, and thermal management in compact devices
- Ability to work with limited direction in an innovation environment where requirements evolve and priorities shift
- Strong written communication skills, with the ability to document designs and test results for both engineering and customer audiences
- This role is hybrid, with a requirement to be in our Reston HQ office a minimum of 3 days/week.
