Responsibilities

• Analyze image quality metrics (Sharpness, Noise, Color accuracy, Exposure, Dynamic range & Motion blur) 
• Collaborate with software and algorithm teams to tune image signal processing (ISP) parameters for optimal performance. 
• Provide image quality support for customer demos and evaluations, working directly with customers to resolve IQ issues. 
• Provide feedback and recommendations to improve camera performance across different lighting and scene conditions. 
• Document test procedures, results, and tuning iterations. 
• Operate and maintain IQ lab setups, including lighting environments, test charts, and measurement tools. 

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or related field. 
• Experience with camera systems, image processing, or optics. 
• Hands-on experience with ISP tuning and image quality evaluation tools. 
• Strong analytical skills and attention to detail. 
• Ability to work independently in a lab environment and collaborate across teams. 

Advantages

• Familiarity with DXOMARK testing protocols or similar standards. 
• Experience with GStreamer, OpenCV, or similar image processing frameworks. 
• Knowledge of color science, sensor behavior, and optical systems. 
• Programming skills (Python, MATLAB, or C++) for automation and analysis. 

We are passionate about building an inclusive and equitable working environment. 

We promote a flexible work environment that encourages work-life balance. 

If you don't meet 100% of the requirements– no worries!
