Role Overview:
As a Video Software Engineer within the Firmware Design team, you will be responsible for designing and optimizing the firmware and software layers that power our next-generation video processing technologies. You will work at the critical junction of Hardware, Firmware, and Software (HW/FW/SW) to ensure peak performance of video codecs and seamless system integration.
Responsibilities
- Design & Development: Architect and implement high-performance video firmware and software solutions.
- Codec Optimization: Evaluate video codec performance and lead debugging efforts for complex codec-related issues.
- Testing & Validation: Conduct rigorous unit and integration testing. Identify, debug, and resolve bugs discovered during system regression tests.
- Cross-Functional Troubleshooting: Coordinate root-cause analysis and solution engineering for complex issues spanning the full HW/FW/SW stack.
Qualifications
- Education: MS or BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
- Programming Mastery: Highly proficient in structured C/C++ for firmware and software development.
- Video Standards: Solid theoretical and practical understanding of H.264 (AVC) and H.265 (HEVC) standards.
- Industry Experience: 3+ years of hands-on experience working with HEVC, AVC, or the FFMPEG framework.
- System Integration: Proven track record of building systems with deep integration between firmware and software layers.
Desired Skills
- ASIC : Experience with ASIC design workflows, including C-model development, High-Level Synthesis (HLS), and RTL.
- Scripting: Proficiency in Python for automation, testing, or rapid prototyping.
- Experience building custom "Agentic" workflows where multiple AI agents collaborate to solve complex coding tasks.
- Familiarity with modern AI-native development environments and tools.
We thank you for your interest, however, only candidates selected for an interview will be contacted.

What We Do
NETINT Technologies develops silicon solutions for ultra-high-density video encoding and processing in the data center. We are the creator of a new hardware encoder category, VPU (video processing unit), combining hardware efficiency with software flexibility and quality. With NETINT VPUs, a 1RU server can encode or transcode 160 1080p60 AV1, H.264, or HEVC broadcast-quality live streams at a 90% lower TCO than software running on the CPU. Use cases where VPUs are deployed include mobile cloud gaming, live game streaming, video conferencing, remote desktop, high-density social video streaming, live OTT streaming, and AR/VR services. NETINT is a VC-backed company of silicon innovators passionate about building solutions that leave an indelible mark on the world. Our offices and R&D facilities are in Vancouver, Toronto, and Shanghai. With our compact ASIC-powered video transcoders and VPUs, video services, and streaming platforms can reduce TCO and upgrade density and performance by an order of magnitude without replacing servers.
