Senior Embedded Software Engineer (C/C++) for Avigilon Cameras

Department Description

Video Solutions teams in the Kraków R&D center have been growing dynamically since 2019. Currently, we have more than 150 specialists on board working on solutions for fixed and mobile cameras, video analytics, video management systems, and access control. We serve public safety and commercial customers including healthcare, airports, retail, critical infrastructure, and public venues. No longer is video just reactive—looking back at what has taken place—but it also informs proactively, issuing alerts in real-time when a person, object, or vehicle appears or a perimeter is crossed.

To speed up the development of the Avigilon portfolio (https://www.avigilon.com), we are building out our embedded software engineering capabilities. Our team works closely with Avigilon teams in London and Oslo to deliver cutting-edge camera platforms.

Role Description

We are looking for open-minded and self-driven engineers to take ownership of core embedded Linux system components, work on camera platforms, and cooperate with backend engineers working on cloud-based video management systems, as well as closely collaborate with internal security teams.

In this role, you will join an established and collaborative team of embedded software engineers, frequently partnering with colleagues in Norway (Oslo) to solve complex integration challenges. Your expertise will have a significant impact on the continuous development and enhancement of the solutions driving our camera platforms.

What You’ll Do

• Writing new and maintaining existing code for embedded systems in C and sporadically in C++.

• Configuring and maintaining embedded Linux filesystems.

• Developing, debugging, and tuning drivers dedicated to the Linux kernel in C, particularly for image sensors, LED controllers, and audio amplifiers.

• Configuring hardware security features, such as TPM.

• Fixing security issues discovered in existing embedded software and actively maintaining code security.

• Making sure that the introduced software is free from regression by executing manual tests and providing test automation.

• Active participation in software architecture creation.

• Active participation in the code review process.

• Collaborating with engineers located in different countries.

• Being an active member of your team.
