FastVDO is an energetic young startup company headquartered in Columbia, MD, USA, in the DC area, with research and development facilities in Bangalore, India. FastVDO has a vision to revolutionize multimedia communication. MPEG-2 is almost a decade old, and new technology with impressive performance advantages holds the promise of changing every facet of multimedia, as we know it today. From cell phones to cinema, standard TV to high-definition, the new technology is set to reshape the landscape. To help bring about this vision, FastVDO FastVDO has been a leading and well recognized actor in the ITU/H.264 | ISO/MPEG-4 standardization effort since its beginning and is currently developing solutions based on the world-leading video codec, at the cutting edge of the compression technology.

FastVDO is also involved in advanced research and development for the US Government in reconnaissance/surveillance. These activities involve airborne and ground based video sensor signal processing for pattern recognition.

FastVDO is an equal opportunity employer, offering cutting-edge research in a very challenging and exciting environment, competitive wages, and top-of-line health benefits. If you want to get in on the action, join now. Mail your resume to careers@fastvdo.com

Advised internship positions are primarily for our Columbia, MD, office. Nevertheless, positions are also available in our office in Bangalore, India!
 

• The ideal candidate will take responsibility for develop and implement one to several modules and integrate it in our H.264 codec based solutions.

• The candidate will develop solution focusing on module portability and architecture efficiency under a hardware point of view as well as code footprint. He should port the code in a professionally crafted manner on one DSP (either ARM9 or TMS320 series)

• The candidate will work closely with other team members to quickly integrate fully functional modules.

• The candidate should be able to function within highly talented specialized team environment with limited supervision and is expected to coordinate with others to accomplish project tasks.

• Time frame: 6 months+.

• Graduating Master student (PhD candidate is a +)
• Video coding knowledge (MPEG standard,...) .
• Thorough C++ skill.
• Good communication skill

• Assembly hand-on (MMX or any other one including VHDL/Verilog code).
• C++ hand-on.
• Familiar with usual development tools (VC.net, CodeWarrior, gcc, control version system…).

• The ideal candidate will take responsibility for develop a multi video camera streaming solution over stringent bandwidth and real-time constraint.
• The candidate will develop solution focusing on module portability and code footprint, which could ideally be demonstrated on handheld devices
• In a first step the streaming will use a wired connection, and in a second step it will use an IEEE802.11 protocol.
• The candidate will work closely with other team members to quickly integrate fully functional products.
• The candidate should be able to function within highly talented specialized team environment with limited supervision and is expected to coordinate with others to accomplish project tasks.
• Time frame: 6 months+.
