Job Summary
In the Amazon Fire TV team we are creating the most engaging entertainment platform for the whole family worldwide. Be part of a fast-paced agile and innovative team who is delivering new experiences to Fire TV devices in a startup like environment.
We are looking for a Senior System Development Engineer to join our Picture Quality (PQ) engineering team in this role you will be at the intersection of software hardware and manufacturing owning end-to-end PQ system quality for Amazons smart TV devices and driving PQ excellence across our ODM partner ecosystem. You will work closely with display hardware teams ODM/OEM partners and cross-functional software engineers to define implement and validate PQ standards that set the bar for the industry.
This is a high-impact highly technical role that requires both deep system-level thinking and hands-on execution. You will not just define standards you will build the tools algorithms and processes that make those standards real.
Key job responsibilities
As a Senior System Development Engineer you will:
* Own system-level software architecture and integration for Amazon 1P smart TV devices spanning SoC media pipeline bring-up display subsystem integration video processing features and factory quality workflows.
* Develop and maintain system software components across the video and display stack including video decode rendering display output multimedia framework integration and related platform services.
* Drive SoC platform bring-up and feature integration in collaboration with silicon vendors ensuring media and display subsystems meet Amazons performance and quality requirements.
* Lead cross-functional technical programs with ODM/OEM partners owning the engineering interface for display and video-related deliverables from early development through mass production.
* Define and enforce system-level quality standards across ODM partners establishing engineering processes and quality gates that ensure consistent product quality across global markets.
* Conduct deep root cause analysis for system-level defects spanning hardware-software boundaries including display video and multimedia issues identified in factory field or competitive benchmarking and implement systematic fixes at the software or process level.
* Partner with ODM engineering teams onsite in Shenzhen to resolve engineering challenges during production ramp ensuring readiness for launch.
* Support display certification programs (e.g. Dolby Vision HDR10 HDR10) by coordinating with third-party certification labs and internal stakeholders on technical requirements and compliance.
* Progressively develop expertise in picture quality engineering contributing to areas such as display tuning calibration pipelines and color management as you ramp into the domain.
* Mentor junior engineers and contribute to the technical growth of the team.
* Influence product roadmap by providing data-driven technical assessments and competitive analysis.
A day in the life
As a System Development Engineer on the System Engineering team no two days are alike.

- 5 years of systems design software development operations automation and process improvement experience
- Experience programming with at least one modern language such as Python Ruby Golang Java C C# Rust
- Bachelors degree or above in electrical engineering computer engineering or equivalent
- 8 years of experience in display engineering picture quality or a related field
- Solid understanding of display systems video processing pipelines or image signal processing (ISP).
- Proven ability to work with SOC vendors and ODM partners on display subsystem bring-up and PQ feature integration
- Familiarity with Dolby Vision HDR10 and other display certification standards
- Knowledge of display hardware subsystems including panel driving backlight control TCON and DDIC.
- Hands-on experience with PQ measurement tools and methodologies (e.g. colorimeters spectroradiometers ICDM/VESA standards).
- Experience developing or integrating AI/ML-based image quality enhancement algorithms.
- Knowledge of Android display framework or Linux display stack
- Prior experience in a consumer electronics company working on mass-market devices.
Our inclusive culture empowers Amazonians to deliver the best results for our customers.
