BPM Consultant

We are seeking a highly skilled QA Test Engineer to join the Chrome Browser engineering team, focusing specifically on Linux ARM64 architecture and Media playback capabilities. In this role, you will be responsible for validating the performance, stability, and compatibility of the Chrome browser running on ARM64-based Linux environments. A primary focus of this position is Media Testing—ensuring seamless video/audio streaming, hardware-accelerated decoding/encoding, DRM compatibility, and web-media standard compliance (WebRTC, MSE, EME) on ARM64 silicon. Key Responsibilities Platform Validation: Execute, maintain, and design functional, regression, and performance test suites for the Chrome/Chromium browser built for Linux ARM64 platforms. Media & Streaming Testing: Validate end-to-end media pipelines in Chrome, including audio/video playback, codec performance (AV1, VP9, H.264), rendering, and synchronization. Hardware Acceleration QA: Test and profile hardware-accelerated video decoding/encoding capabilities (V4L2, VA-API) on ARM64 Linux hardware. Web Media Standards: Validate compliance with modern web media technologies, including WebRTC, Media Source Extensions (MSE), and Encrypted Media Extensions (EME/DRM). Defect Triage & Debugging: Isolate, reproduce, and file high-quality bug reports for complex browser crashes, media artifacts, and performance regressions. Analyze browser logs, kernel logs, and crash dumps. Automation & Tools: Utilize and build upon Chromium testing frameworks (such as Telemetry, Tast, or Web Platform Tests) and automate test matrix runs using Python or Bash. Required Skills & Experience Linux Expertise: Strong background in Linux OS environments (Ubuntu, Debian, or ChromeOS/ChromiumOS) with a deep understanding of Linux system-level configurations. ARM64 Architecture: Hands-on experience testing software or operating systems specifically optimized for ARM64 (aarch64) hardware architectures. Media QA Background: Solid understanding of digital video/audio concepts, streaming protocols (DASH, HLS), containers, and codecs. Chromium Ecosystem (Preferred): Familiarity with building Chromium from source, parsing chrome://media-internals (or DevTools Media panel), and working with Chromium bug trackers (Monorail/Issue Tracker). Debugging Tools: Proficiency with Linux debugging and profiling tools such as GDB, ADB, Valgrind, Perf, or Logcat. Automation Scripting:
