Key job responsibilities

As a key part of the camera team, we are looking for a camera systems architect to drive the current and future product architectures that meet our product vision.

The candidate will translate feature requirements and provide an imaging solutions, including understanding of ISP capabilities, power budgets, optical and mechanical designs requirements and cost analysis.

Candidate will be heavily involved in the camera module design activities for manufacturing as well as developing core intellectual properties and implementations in imaging area such as image quality tuning, calibration, improvements on auto-exposure, auto-white balance and auto-focus.

A day in the life

You will be responsible for all imaging aspects of camera modules and collaborate with cross functional team to understand 2D/3D camera system.

You will provide the solution that meet imaging requirements by image simulation and modeling and/or working with prototypes.

You will be responsible to derive architect specifications down to component level such as, sensor, lens, ICR, and ISP. You will help and lead to the development of camera technology roadmaps.
