Software Development Engineer

Codian designs, creates and implements the most technologically advanced video conferencing infrastructure equipment available on the market today. The software team at Codian plays a crucial role in achieving this.

Based on massively parallel processor architectures, Codian products are used by thousands of customers ranging from large enterprises, banks and universities to service providers, each relying on their Codian equipment to fulfil their communication requirements.

The Codian software team spans FPGA programming, hardware-level programming, operating system implementation, DSP work (including multiprocessor media processing frameworks and codecs), protocol implementation and highly advanced control and management applications. A particular characteristic of Codian is that the company builds the majority of its software in-house to obtain the performance and flexibility required.

The Codian software team collaborates very closely with the Codian hardware team to design future hardware architectures and bring them to life. Software team involvement in the evaluation of new system components and the design of future platforms is central to the company’s success. The team also liaises very closely with the test, documentation and 3rd line support teams to give customers the best possible experience of their products.

As a result this is an expert team capable of working on any aspect of Codian’s products. Joining the Codian software team implies working with the most talented people in the business, and provides the opportunity for both contributing and learning, whatever your current level of experience.

Codian software development is organised in informal teams so that everyone has their own central role and strong personal contributions are recognised. The ability to quickly understand and contribute to building our complex systems is a core requirement for all members of the Codian software team.

Codian is part of Tandberg. However, the team works very hard to maintain the start-up mentality and efficiency that has always characterised Codian: short time to market and an informal organisation where abilities, interests and ambitions determine your present status and future in the company.
