Role:• Own the camera HAL3 implementation and keep it sound across platform updates

• Solve the concurrent-stream problem: preview, stills, video, and ML inference sharing one sensor
• Build zero-copy buffer paths to the encoder and the display to minimize CPU and power cost
• Own camera metadata, including what a vision-language model needs to interpret a frame correctly
• Configure stabilization against continuous head motion, working from hardware timestamps provided by the kernel team
• Design how thermal limits surface to applications and users – ahead of time, never as a silent failure
• Own the privacy path: capture indicators, permissions, and SELinux policy
• Ship the Camera2 and CameraX surface that first- and third-party apps build against

Qualifications:• 5+ years of experience in the Android camera framework

• Hands-on HAL3 / AIDL camera HAL work – has implemented or substantially rewritten one, not only configured it

• Fluency in the camera metadata model
• Experience with stream configuration and buffer management across concurrent use cases
• Experience with Camera2 and CameraX
• Experience with the AOSP build system, SELinux, and SEPolicy
• Comfortable on both sides of the HAL boundary – equally at home in logcat and in kernel traces

Preferred Qualifications:• Experience with Qualcomm CamX / Chi-CDK

• Experience with zero-copy media pipelines (MediaCodec, Gralloc, DRM)
• Camera work outside the phone form factor, especially without a conventional viewfinder
• Experience feeding ML inference from a live camera pipeline
• Experience with capture devices built under privacy regulation (GDPR, EU AI Act)
• Experience with CTS / VTS camera compliance
