Sr. Member Research Staff, Director Video Standards

Develop innovative video coding functionality and signaling technologies to support current and emerging video coding standards. Areas include high-level syntax elements such as parameter sets, VUI (Video Usability Information), and SEI (Supplemental Enhancement Information) for codecs like H.265/HEVC, H.266/VVC, and beyond. Design new algorithms and system technologies to support video systems standards, such as encapsulation formats, delivery protocols, multimedia presentation, scene description, and file formats. Advance signal processing methods—including both classical and neural network-based approaches—for pre-processing, post-processing, and next-generation video codecs. Thinks proactively, plans effectively, and anticipates future trends and the implications of various scenarios. Sets and communicates clear strategic direction and vision for the organization. Adapts well to evolving conditions and responds constructively to change, showing openness to new ideas, flexibility in approach, and resilience in the face of challenges. Takes ownership of outcomes and fosters accountability across all levels. Shows determination and a strong commitment to achieving strategic goals. Prioritizes the long-term success of the organization over individual or team interests. Demonstrated expertise and success in developing video/image coding and systems technologies, including MPEG codecs, high-level syntax, image processing, and related algorithms. Recognized leadership and an active professional presence in international image and video technology standards organizations. Strong research and innovation background in video/image processing, coding, or related technical fields. A consistent record of publications in top-tier technical conferences and/or peer-reviewed journals. Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field—or equivalent experience with demonstrated results. Proven contributions to technology standardization efforts and willingness to travel internationally for related engagements.
