Camera Software Developer

Job Description

Job Title : Camera Software Developer (Linux C++ / Python, Motion Control)

Location : Phoenix, AZ (Hybrid)

Employment Type : Full-Time Permanent

We're seeking a highly technical Camera Software Developer to support advanced imaging, streaming, and motion-control systems. This role spans aero-facing camera software in C++, Python / GStreamer development for video pipelines, and contributions to existing projects that require cleanup, refactoring, and branching. Candidates should be experienced working in Linux environments and capable of building real-time, high-performance imaging software that relies on modern codecs such as H.265.

What You'll Do

• Develop, maintain, and optimize Linux-based C++ camera software for aero imaging systems.
• Build and refine video streaming pipelines using Python and GStreamer, with a focus on H.265 (HEVC) rather than H.264.
• Support motion-control components involved in camera operation and system positioning.
• Work through existing codebases that require cleanup, re-organization, branching, and stability improvements.
• Perform troubleshooting and performance tuning across camera drivers, imaging pipelines, and real-time streaming components.
• Contribute to light embedded work when needed (but less than a dedicated firmware developer).
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to ensure smooth integration across hardware, software, and platform components.
