Key Responsibilities

• Develop, validate, and execute state-of-the-art imaging simulation software tools to support Client camera hardware exploration, ML dataset generation, and product architecture studies.
• Investigate simulation methods such as ISET , ZEMAX , and non-sequential ray tracing to model realistic camera behavior.
• Experiment and data collection to validate simulator accuracy and to improve simulator modeling capability and efficiency
• Build and bring up lab setups for image data acquisition of camera prototypes to support camera design studies. Operate, calibrate, and perform routine maintenance of lab equipment.
• Develop and document camera test methodologies to support 2D/3D camera system performance analysis.
• Develop and debug test scripts for image data collection automation
• Processing, analysis and organizing measurement data; presentation of initial analysis
• Drive supplier interaction and management to deliver camera prototypes in support of concept demonstrations

Qualifications:(10+ Years)

• Minimum Qualifications: Advanced degree (M.S.) or equivalent acquired experience in a discipline such as Imaging Science, Image Processing, Computer Vision, or related fields
• Knowledge of image formation process (spectrum, optics/aberrations, PSF, sensor noise, Fourier theory, sampling/aliasing) needed to successfully model and simulate complex imaging phenomena
• Experience and knowledge in developing and tuning Image Signal Processing (ISP) algorithms and pipeline.
• Experience coding in languages such as MATLAB, Python, C/C++, preferably CUDA, design code for efficiency, and target different platforms such as GPU, Cloud, and other
• Experiences in image quality testing of camera systems and familiar with image quality metrics and analysis
• • Hands on experience in the development of lab setups for camera system performance study
• Experiences in camera calibration and modeling of imaging systems
• Familiar with image sensor, imaging optics, and image processing algorithms
• Ability to work with minimal direction and managing a project independently from start to finish

Must Have Skills:

• Understanding of image formation, capturing, and processing pipeline and techniques
• Python/Matlab programming, shell scripting skills
• Understanding of subjective and objective image quality evaluation metric and testing procedure

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Hands-on experience developing lab setups for camera system studies.
• Experience with camera calibration and modeling.
• Experience at top-tier imaging companies.

Degrees / Certifications Required:

• Bachelor's degree required.
• Master's or PhD preferred.

Interview Process

• Minimum 2 rounds :
• Initial hiring manager screen
• Technical interview with the engineering team
• Topics: imaging simulation, ISP pipelines, image formation, camera modeling, past project deep dives.
• Timing:
• Manager screen: 30 minutes
• Technical interview: 1 hour
