Job Details
- Required Skills
- PythonBashLinuxAnsible
Requirements
- 2+ years of production experience with embedded or server-side Linux, including service configuration, log analysis, and process-level debugging
- NVIDIA Jetson experience is a strong plus
- 2+ years writing Python and/or Bash for production use, including diagnostic tools and operational automation in Linux or embedded environments
- Working knowledge of IP networking (subnets, VLANs, DNS, routing, firewalls) and cellular/LTE
- Able to independently isolate and resolve edge-to-cloud connectivity failures
- Production experience integrating edge compute platforms (NVIDIA Jetson or comparable), IP cameras, and supporting hardware into validated, production-ready systems
- Working knowledge of DC power constraints and solar-capable configurations
- Experience configuring, testing, and troubleshooting IP cameras in production environments
- Familiarity with camera-side compute capabilities and the distinction between on-camera and edge-device workloads
- Experience with real-time video transport protocols such as RTSP and SRT, including configuring, and troubleshooting
- Understanding of modern video codecs such as H.265/HEVC and their trade-offs in compression efficiency, bandwidth usage, latency, and compute requirements
- Familiar with key encoding parameters (bitrate, GOP structure, profiles, presets) and how they impact image quality, artifacting, and system performance
- Strong grasp of image fundamentals including resolution, pixel density, compression formats, and file size implications
- Track record of diagnosing and resolving hardware and software failures without physical device access
- Experience with Ansible or comparable tools for managing remote device fleets
- Ability to document technical findings clearly and coordinate with contractors, engineering teammates, and customer contacts
Responsibilities
- Maintain end-to-end system integrity across the SmartGate hardware-software stack (AXIS IP cameras, NVIDIA Jetson, Savant video pipeline, LTE modems, routing hardware, outdoor enclosures, power systems)
- Test new hardware generations, firmware versions, and software releases against the production stack before fleet-wide rollout
- Build, configure, and validate complete hardware kits ahead of customer deployments
- Verify power budget compliance for solar-capable configurations
- Coordinate with installation contractors on setup expectations and post-install validation
- Deploy and update SmartGate software across 30+ edge and cloud gates using the Ansible-based Fleet Management system
- Manage hardware inventory and prepare Jetson and camera kits for shipment to new sites
- Remotely diagnose and resolve failures across the deployed fleet, including Savant pipeline lockups, camera connectivity issues, and networking misconfigurations
- Perform on-site visits when remote resolution is not achievable
- Develop and maintain commissioning runbooks and validation procedures
- Collaborate with the Computer Vision team on hardware-side model validation and root cause analysis for missed or incorrect gate events
- Test and benchmark which SmartGate pipeline workloads can run directly on AXIS camera hardware versus the Jetson
