What you need
- Hands-on experience with image quality in real camera products, ideally including ISP tuning, 3A tuning, image quality validation, camera module characterization, or product tuning
- Experience with image-quality lab workflows, test charts, lighting setups, scene selection, regression testing, and the practical limitations of image-quality measurements
- Practical software and tooling skills, especially Python for analysis, automation, scripting, data processing, or lab tooling
- Working understanding of the camera pipeline from sensor through ISP, 3A, image processing, compression, and final output
- A hands-on debugging mindset: comfortable moving between lab images, logs, tuning files, device behavior, and software tools
- Clear communication skills and the ability to work effectively with both imaging domain experts and software engineers
Nice to have
- Experience with Qualcomm or similar mobile / embedded camera platforms, ISP tuning tools, Chromatix-like tuning assets, or vendor ISP workflows
- Experience with Imatest, color science tools, lab automation, camera characterization, or image-quality databases
- Exposure to AI-assisted optimization, Bayesian optimization, ML-based image analysis, LLM-assisted tooling, or automated parameter search
- C/C++ experience in image processing or embedded camera software
- Experience with image-processing algorithms such as denoising, sharpening, HDR, demosaicing, tone mapping, multi-frame fusion, or stabilization
Worth weighing
- The role requires in-person collaboration four days a week, which may not suit all candidates seeking remote work flexibility.
- No specific salary or benefits information is provided in the posting, which may be a consideration for potential applicants.
- The job description emphasizes a hands-on approach, which may not appeal to those looking for more strategic or high-level roles.
