Job Description

Our Company is built on employee mutual commitment and respect, enthusiasm and progress.

Teledyne Digital Imaging is a subsidiary of Teledyne Technologies Inc., a U.S. publicly listed enterprise, and specializes in the manufacture, design, research and development of high-performance CMOS and CCD image sensors and modular expandable cameras. Teledyne Digital Imaging's products are used worldwide in machine vision, document scanning, image capture, surveillance, process monitoring, manufacturing inspection, medical imaging, and multimedia.

We are seeking a Windows Kernel Driver Developer - Image Acquisition Software (GigE Vision) with a passion for high-performance networking and machine vision systems to join our Software R&D team. The successful candidate will contribute to the design, development, validation, and maintenance of Ethernet-based software components used across multiple industrial imaging products.

This role focuses on the development of Windows software for GigE Vision devices, networking infrastructure, and related SDK components. Because our high-speed data path relies on custom kernel-level components, this position REQUIRES hands-on experience developing Windows kernel-mode drivers (WDM/KMDF). The position also requires strong software engineering practices, including automated testing, cybersecurity awareness, and modern development workflows.

• Develop tools, test infrastructure, and automation using Python.
• Enhance and support Ethernet and GigE Vision software stacks used in industrial imaging applications.
• Analyze, troubleshoot, and resolve customer-reported issues including kernel-level debugging
• Participate in software architecture discussions and design reviews.
• Collaborate with hardware, FPGA, validation, and application teams.

Software Quality

• Develop and maintain unit tests for new and existing software components.
• Contribute to integration, system, and regression testing activities.
• Investigate defects and implement corrective actions.
• Participate in code reviews and continuous improvement initiatives.

Development Processes

• Use Git-based source control workflows.
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and automated build systems.
• Follow established software development lifecycle processes.
• Maintain technical documentation and design specifications.

Networking and Ethernet Technologies

• Develop and troubleshoot software involving Ethernet communications.
• Work with IP, UDP, RoCE and related network protocols.
• Support GigE Vision-based imaging systems and high-speed data transfer applications.
• Analyze network performance and communication issues.

What You Need:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
• Minimum 5 years of professional software development experience.
• Demonstrated, hands-on experience developing Windows kernel-mode drivers (WDM/KMDF), including kernel-level debugging (e.g. WinDbg) and use of the Windows Driver Kit (WDK). This is a core requirement for the role
