Linux Video QA Lead Responsibilities and Expertise Key Responsibilities: Test Strategy & Planning Define test strategy, test plans, and validation criteria for Linux-based video drivers, frameworks (V4L2), and multimedia pipelines. Ensure coverage for a wide range of use cases including playback, capture, encoding, decoding, streaming, and camera interfaces. Test Execution & Automation Lead development and execution of manual and automated test cases for video pipelines across different SoCs and platforms. Oversee integration of test automation frameworks (e.g., LAVA, Robot Framework, Jenkins pipelines). Linux Video Subsystem QA Validate components like V4L2, DRM/KMS, GStreamer, FFmpeg, VA-API, and proprietary video codec interfaces (if applicable). Verify compliance with Linux kernel interfaces, API behavior, and cross-version compatibility. Debugging & Issue Resolution Lead root cause analysis of video quality, stability, and performance issues in conjunction with development teams. Use tools like dmesg, gdb, perf, ftrace, and kernel logs for in-depth debugging. Cross-Functional Collaboration Work closely with developers, system integrators, hardware teams, and customer QA to align on quality expectations. Drive QA sign-off for internal releases and customer deliverables. Regression & Performance Testing Ensure test coverage for regressions and performance benchmarks (FPS, latency, thermal impact, power consumption). Manage continuous integration of video test suites for nightly and release builds. Documentation & Reporting Maintain detailed test reports, bug reports, and test execution summaries. Track KPIs like defect density, test pass rate, and automation coverage. Required Expertise: Strong QA Background: 8+ years in Linux multimedia or embedded QA with at least 3+ years in a lead or principal QA role. Deep understanding of test lifecycle and QA metrics. Linux Multimedia Stack: Hands-on knowledge of Linux video frameworks: V4L2, GStreamer, FFmpeg, VA-API, OpenMAX IL. Familiarity with video codecs (H.264, HEVC, VP9, AV1), resolution standards (HD/FHD/4K), and color formats (YUV, RGB). Kernel and Driver Validation: Experience testing video encoder/decoder, ISP pipelines, HDMI/DP interfaces, and camera capture flows. Good understanding of DRM/KMS and buffer management (DMABUF, MMAP, etc.). Test Automation: Proficient in Python, shell scripting, and tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, pytest, or custom automation frameworks. Familiarity with hardware test environments and lab automation. Debugging & Tools: Proficient with Linux debugging tools (strace, gdb, perf, top, iotop) and log analysis. Ability to interpret kernel logs and trace buffer output.
