Sensor Application Engineer

The Image Sensors group is looking for an application engineer to support the development and adoption of next generation computer vision, depth and RGB cameras and sensors. You will be the resident guide and technical support resource for a multi-function team, advising our internal customers. The successful candidate will be diligent and show attention to detail, with a strong commitment to perfection.

Sensor Application Engineer Responsibilities:

• Support integration of image/depth/flicker sensors into camera modules, working with HW engineers to optimize module design and Meta and vendor SW/FW engineers to enable camera bring-up and test.
• Support integration of image/depth/flicker sensors into products, working with SW/FW engineers to enable correct sensor operation and work with image quality & computer vision engineers to co-optimize sensor settings and ISP tuning.
• Create and maintain reference documentation repositories, including vendor datasheets and application notes, creating internal application notes where no material exists.
• Create forums for sensor users to be informed and share learnings across projects.
• Drive creation of compelling demonstrations of new technology, working closely with Sensor, Camera, HW and SW/FW engineers.
• Collect issues identified through module & system-level evaluation and convey those back to Meta Sensor engineers and vendor application engineers, advocating for fixes and/or improvements, where needed.

Minimum Qualifications:

• BS in Electrical Engineering, Optics, Physics, or equivalent industry experience.
• 5+ years of experience in CMOS Imaging/Electro Optical Systems
• Experience with CMOS image sensors including design and debugging experience of embedded hardware and software - particularly in camera or other imaging systems.
• Experience working in an electro-optical laboratory environment.
• Firmware development experience using C/C++ and Scripting language experience using Python or MATLAB.
• Experience in understanding and communicating complex technical data and information in an appropriate way to a wide range of audiences.
• Self-discipline, initiative, and motivation with experience in working independently.

Preferred Qualifications:

• MS in electronics, software or imaging-related technologies.
• Mastery of producing technical documentation of complex systems and excellent communications skills.
• Hands-on experience with ISP & camera correction algorithms, computer vision, or depth sensor.
• Familiarity with protocols such as MIPI, I2C & I3C protocol experience.
• Experience with AE/FAE, supporting imaging/depth /ALS/Flicker sensor systems.
