CLICK TO APPLY

We have a current opening for a Technical Leader, Algorithm Development Group in the Media Processing Business Unit within Emerging Technologies Business Group (ETBG). We design and develop video processing platforms to implement Cisco's video collaboration and medianet initiatives. These platforms use advanced visual, audio, streaming, and interactive technologies to realize the ultimate vision of any source to any display and are some of the more recent examples of how Cisco is changing the way we work, live, play, and learn.

Responsibilities
- Architecture, design and development of i. Scalable Video Codec (SVC) encoder and decoder algorithms using multi-core DSPs ii. H.264/VC-1 HD encoder and decoders and iii. Transcoders and transraters
- HD 1080p x 60 resolution/framerate video processing/compression using above mentioned standards and associated algorithms
- Analysis of processing power for algorithmic blocks (MCPS) and memory bandwidth when running on a multi-core DSPs
- Analysis and enhancement of different algorithm processing blocks and optimization of logic on multi-core DSPs and VLIW instruction sets.
- Development of algorithm integration framework and integration of algorithms into a multi-DSP environment with large scale channel processing capabilities.
- Development of unit test framework and providing unit test results
- Analyzing video quality using different quality tools and matrix and providing quality results to the integration team

Experience
- 8-10 years of experience in the industry developing video algorithms on DSPs or programmable chips
- Very strong background in HD video compression and decompression algorithms using standards such as Scalable Video Coding (SVC), Wavelet, H.264 HD Baseline and Main Profile, VC-1 and MPEG-2 HD and optimization of algorithms for faster speed and higher quality.
- Strong background in optimization of different algorithmic blocks on DSPs or FPGAs or other programmable chips
- Experience in developing unit test applications testing and verifying algorithms as well as video algorithm integration framework integrating algorithms in a system.
