Lumenci positions its platform and expert network to turn patent portfolios into revenue centers and to support litigation, licensing and innovation teams.

📋 Description

• Lead a team of Associate Consultants on client projects involving video compression and video delivery technologies. • Own delivery of patent analysis and IP monetization research related to video codecs and video processing, including technology due diligence, claim charting/infringement analysis, prior art searching, market research, and target scouting. • Analyze, reverse engineer, and test implementations of video codecs and related pipelines (e.g., AV1, HEVC, HDR workflows) using industry-standard tools and/or custom-built tools. • Design and execute test benches to evaluate codec behavior, compression efficiency, rate–distortion performance, and standards compliance. • Review specifications and reference software for video coding standards (e.g., AV1, H.264/AVC, H.265/HEVC, VVC) and map technical details to patent claims and accused products. • Support Expert Witnesses and attorneys on IP litigation matters, including technical analysis for reports, source code review, and preparation for depositions, hearings, and trial. • Establish and cultivate relationships with existing and prospective clients, and serve as a subject-matter advocate for Lumenci’s video/media technology capabilities. • Identify and develop relationships with specialized labs or partners for video codec product testing and reverse engineering services. • Collaborate with Lumenci’s product teams to advise on requirements, testing, and roadmap for technology platforms related to video analysis, reverse engineering, and IP analytics. • Showcase thought leadership in video compression and IP (e.g., blogs, whitepapers, research summaries, internal training). • Collaborate across the organization with in-person and distributed global teams; attend internal and external meetings, workshops, conferences, source code reviews, depositions, and trials as needed.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a closely related field. • 3–5 years of hands-on experience working with modern video codecs in an R&D, engineering, standards, or video quality role (e.g., AV1, HEVC/H.265, VVC, VP9), including implementing, integrating, or optimizing codecs. • Strong understanding of video compression fundamentals (e.g., motion estimation, transform coding, prediction, rate control, entropy coding) and HDR video concepts (e.g., PQ/HLG, color spaces, tone mapping). • Experience reading and working from codec specifications or reference implementations for one or more standards (such as AV1, H.264/AVC, H.265/HEVC, VVC). • Demonstrated proficiency in one or more relevant programming/scripting languages (e.g., C/C++, Python, MATLAB) for building tools, automating tests, or analyzing codec behavior. • Ability to clearly explain complex technical topics in writing and verbally to both technical and non-technical audiences. • Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines. • Approximately 40% domestic travel (for client meetings, expert meetings, source code reviews, depositions/trials, conferences).
