Multimedia System Engineer

Multimedia System EngineerPosition Overview We are seeking a Multimedia System Engineer to design, develop, integrate, and support advanced multimedia systems for automotive and enterprise applications. This role centers on multimedia development, creating compelling PowerPoint presentations and design artifacts, and delivering robust automotive multimedia solutions (infotainment, IVI, audio/video pipelines). The ideal candidate will combine handson engineering with systems integration, streaming and codec expertise, AV hardware knowledge, networking competence, and clear executivelevel communication and reporting.

Key ResponsibilitiesDesign, develop and integrate multimedia subsystems for automotive and commercial deployments, including infotainment (IVI) and invehicle multimedia features.

Lead multimedia software development efforts, including media pipelines, encoding/decoding, transcoding and playback components across Linux, Windows and embedded platforms.

Create highquality technical and executive PowerPoint presentations, proposals and design documentation to communicate architecture, tradeoffs and project status.

Implement and validate streaming solutions (HLS, RTMP, RTSP, RTP), adaptive bitrate streaming and CDN integrations to meet latency, QoS and reliability targets.

Work with video and audio codecs (H.264, H.265/HEVC, VP8, VP9, AV1 and common audio codecs) and container formats (MP4, TS, MKV) to optimize quality and bandwidth.

Integrate and validate media servers and toolchains (FFmpeg, Wowza, GStreamer, Red5) and perform pipeline automation for encoding/transcoding workflows.

Develop and troubleshoot realtime communication systems (WebRTC, SIP/VoIP, video conferencing) and lowlatency streaming for collaborative and broadcast use cases.

Design and deploy AV over

IP, SMPTE ST 2110/ST

2022, SDI, HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI, and fiber solutions; configure video matrix switchers, scalers, and signal distribution for video walls, LED displays and projectors.

Drive endtoend system testing including calibration, measurement with scopes and test equipment, latency/jitter analysis, network troubleshooting (TCP/UDP, Multicast/IGMP) and QoS tuning.

Integrate camera systems (PTZ), microphone arrays, audio DSPs, Dante/AES67/AES3, analog audio and PA systems, and manage synchronization (PTP/NTP, Genlock) where required.

Develop automation and control interfaces using REST APIs, IP control, RS232/RS422, and A/V control systems (Crestron, AMX); implement PoE, Ethernet configuration and IP device management.

Collaborate with product management, QA, firmware and hardware teams; provide regular executive reporting on milestones, risks, and technical roadmap.

Support deployment, commissioning and field troubleshooting for complex AV and surveillance/CCTV integrations, KVM, HDMI over fiber and connector level issues (BNC, RJ45).Maintain and improve CI/CD and virtualization environments (Docker, cloud media services such as AWS Elemental), and author scripts (Python, shell) for testing and operational tooling.

QualificationsBachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Proven experience in multimedia development and engineering for commercial or automotive products, with direct experience in automotive multimedia/infotainment systems.

Strong proficiency creating technical and executive PowerPoint deliverables and design documentation.

Handson experience with media frameworks and tools such as GStreamer, FFmpeg and common media servers.

Deep understanding of video and audio codecs (H.264, H.265/HEVC, VP8, VP9, AV1), container formats (MP4, TS, MKV) and streaming protocols (HLS, RTMP, RTSP, RTP, DASH).Practical experience with realtime communication technologies (WebRTC, SIP/VoIP) and video conferencing integration.

Experience with AV hardware and signal distribution: SDI (SD/HD/3G/12G), HDMI, DisplayPort, video matrix switchers, scalers, video walls, LED displays, projectors and PTZ cameras.

Networking competency including TCP/IP, UDP, Multicast/IGMP, QoS, PoE, Ethernet, and network troubleshooting for media applications.

Proficient in Linux and comfortable with Windows and macOS environments; scripting in Python and shell for automation and testing.

Strong diagnostic skills using oscilloscopes, calibration/test equipment and familiarity with latency and jitter management.

Excellent communication skills, ability to work crossfunctionally, drive product requirements, and present to executives.

Willingness to travel for onsite integration, testing and customer deployments as necessary.
