TL;DR · Camera Hardware Electrical Engineer

The Camera Hardware Electrical Engineer joins the Camera Hardware Electrical Engineering group, which is responsible for the electrical design and integration of camera systems across all products. In this role, you will solve complex challenges involving analog circuit design, high-speed signal integrity, and power management within highly constrained physical environments to develop robust hardware optimized for mass production. You will perform schematic capture and layout for substrate, rigid PCB, or Flex designs while managing system integration for grounding, shielding, EMI, EMC, and ESD. Technical requirements include experience with high-speed interfaces like MIPI, DisplayPort, HDMI, and PCIE; circuit components such as LDO, Buck, ADC, DAC, and Op-AMP; and control interfaces including I2C, SPI, SPMI, and UART. You will also utilize statistical data analysis tools like JMP to ensure quality.

What you'll do

  • Design and integrate electrical systems for camera hardware within highly constrained physical environments.
  • Develop analog and digital circuits including schematic capture and layout for substrates, rigid PCBs, and flex.
  • Manage high-speed signal integrity and power distribution network (PDN) analysis.
  • Implement system integration strategies for grounding, shielding, EMI, EMC, and ESD.
  • Design power management components such as LDOs, Buck converters, ADCs, and DACs.
  • Execute hardware bring-up and debugging in a laboratory environment.
  • Optimize designs for high-volume manufacturing, testing, and reliability (DFM, DFT, DFR).
  • Analyze statistical data to evaluate performance and quality of camera systems.

What we're looking for

  • BS in Electrical Engineering and at least 1 internship as an Electrical Engineer.
  • Experience with analog and digital circuit design, including schematic capture and layout for substrate, rigid PCB, or Flex.
  • Knowledge of signal and power integrity, including high-speed design and PDN analysis.
  • System integration knowledge for grounding, shielding, EMI, EMC, and ESD.
  • Knowledge of layout strategies for various substrates, material selection, stack-up planning, and noise suppression (preferred).
  • Experience with high-speed interfaces such as MIPI, DisplayPort, HDMI, and PCIe (preferred).
  • Circuit design experience with components like LDO, Buck, ADC, DAC, Op-AMP, and control interfaces like I2C, SPI, SPMI, or UART (preferred).
  • Hands-on lab experience with hardware bring-up, debug, DFM/DFT/DFR, and image sensor knowledge (preferred).
