  • Ensure that the SDK is well-documented, versioned, and thoroughly tested.
• 3rd-Party Driver Integration
  • Integrate, test, and maintain 3rd-party hardware drivers (e.g., USB3, CoaXPress, CameraLink) into the SDK.
  • Develop abstraction layers and APIs to enable seamless hardware communication.
  • Troubleshoot and optimize performance for high-throughput data interfaces.
  • Collaborate with hardware vendors to ensure driver compatibility and long-term support.
• Graphical User Interface (GUI) Design & Development
  • Design and develop intuitive basic GUIs that integrate seamlessly with the SDK for R&D debug, production QC and customer demo.

• Proven experience in designing and maintaining SDKs (C, C++, C#).
• Strong understanding of API design, modular architectures, and cross-platform development.
• Experience with 3rd-party driver integration (USB3, CoaXPress, CameraLink, GigE, or similar).
• Experience in GUI development using frameworks such as Qt, WPF, JavaFX, or modern web technologies (React, Angular, etc.).
• Solid understanding of software engineering principles: design patterns, version control, CI/CD, and automated testing.
