Job Description: 

Think embedded, think QNX! 

QNX® is a trusted supplier of safe and secure operating systems, hypervisors, frameworks and development tools, and provides expert support and services for building the world’s most critical embedded systems.   We are the embedded experts. QNX was born in embedded, and provides time-tested and trusted foundation software, including our deterministic microkernel real-time operating system (RTOS), safety-certified products, middleware and security solutions, all purpose-built for embedded systems.  

QNX software is trusted by more than 68% of the Electric Vehicle market by volume, 24 of the top 25 EV manufacturers and is running in more than 275 million vehicles globally.  Global leaders such as Audi, Ford, Jaguar Land Rover, General Electric, and Honeywell depend on QNX technology for their in-car electronics, medical devices, industrial automation systems, and other mission- or life-critical applications. 

Are you the person we are looking for?

At QNX, we’re building a camera engineering team to rethink what consumer imaging can be. Today's point‑and‑shoot cameras are limited by hardware constraints and isolated systems—but our platform isn't. We’re bringing together high‑performance CPUs, real-time operating systems, and constant connectivity to create an entirely new class of smart, computationally‑enhanced camera systems.

If you’re a developer who loves digging into hardware, building high‑performance C/C++ software, and experimenting with photography, this is your chance to help define the future of consumer imaging.

Turn your passion for photography and low-level engineering into your next career move.

You will: 

• Invent what comes next. Explore cutting-edge camera technologies and propose bold new directions for imaging innovation.
• Build the core software. Develop high‑performance camera system components, primarily using C and C++, for a real‑time environment.
• Integrate advanced imaging tech. Work with third‑party post‑processing algorithms, computational photography pipelines, and emerging imaging frameworks.
• Shape the hardware roadmap. Stay ahead of sensor, ISP, and optics trends—then help select the hardware that powers future generations of our cameras.
• Collaborate with industry partners. Integrate Image Signal Processors and sensor modules directly with silicon and hardware vendors.
• Enable rich multimedia experiences. Work with the multimedia team to integrate video codecs and modern encoding pipelines.
   

You have: 

• Experience in embedded software development (RTOS, bare metal, or similar environments).
• Device driver knowledge—DMA, interrupts, memory mapping, and other low‑level concepts are strong assets.
• Understanding of multimedia frameworks, codecs, containers, and streaming formats is an advantage.
• Familiarity with image processing, computational photography, or signal processing is a plus.
• Strong communication skills and the motivation to explore, prototype, and deliver.
• Personal software projects or photography hobbies are big bonuses—show us what you love building.
