Senior Circuitry Engineer
The foundation of each of our products is a well-designed circuit board. Cobalt products use a variety of circuitry types: digital circuits like FPGAs, Flash memory, DDR memories, microprocessors, and clocking circuits, as well as analog video and digital video (SDI) receiver and transmitter circuits.
Senior FPGA Engineer
At the heart of most of our products is an FPGA doing the core video and audio processing. FPGA code is responsible for adjusting video levels, routing video and audio data between chips, synthesizing an onboard processor for command and control operations, driving touch panel screens, generating and extracting all kinds of video metadata, buffering and playing back video frames, and communicating with the outside world. To a large extent, the FPGA design is the product design.
Senior Software Engineer
As a Senior Software engineer, you will have responsibility for the software design of new products. You will work with product development and definition and come up with the best software architecture for the product, then oversee the development of the software. Most of our software serves as command and control code for our video conversion products.
