I’m gathering a shortlist of mid-level engineers who can tackle video-centric challenges inside embedded environments. The ideal profiles should show hands-on success with real-time video streaming, image recognition, and advanced video compression while working close to the metal on custom hardware. Because these products live on constrained platforms, I’m especially interested in candidates who can pair the video know-how with strong embedded systems expertise, practical machine-learning integration, and, where relevant, FPGA development for acceleration. What I need from you is a curated bundle of CVs—each one clearly demonstrating the above skill mix, employment history that proves mid-level depth (roughly 3-7 years), and concise notes on why the candidate fits. Feel free to include any additional screening insights you believe add value. I’ll review the first batch, provide feedback, and we can iterate until we have a solid pool ready for interviews.
