Description
Are you an uber-geek, always the first to have the latest gadget – preferably before it's even released? Do you love consumer electronics, product development and watching movies? Does the local computer store know you on a first-name basis? If so, you’re looking in the right place. We're looking for a Manager of Applications Engineering to head up our technical service departments, work closely with integrated chip (IC) manufacturers, original design manufacturers (ODMs), original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and independent software vendors (ISVs) to incorporate DivX video technology into their products.
Our video creation and playback technologies power millions of consumer electronics devices, from DVD players to portable media players, mobile phones, digital cameras, home media servers and the list goes on. But success didn't come easy. To make it in the CE business, we had to ensure seamless interoperability of DivX content and devices, even across different brand names like Panasonic, Sony, LG, Roxio, Pinnacle, CyberLink etc. This requires insight, quality, precision and rock-solid engineering. Our technologies also power new and innovative web 3.0 applications, connected devices and online communities.
The ideal candidate for this position will have technical mastery in software and hardware design, a knack for troubleshooting and excellent people skills. They will be team-driven, never territorial, freely give credit to others and a poster child of Theory Y. If this sounds like you, then you'd love it here! Send us your resume.
