Camera Modeling & Simulation Engineer

What you'll do

• Develop and maintain high-throughput simulation frameworks to generate large volumes of synthetic imagery on-demand.
• Build and refine models of camera systems from sensor to lens to simulate real-world imaging performance.
• Conduct simulation studies to characterize end-to-end hardware and software performance to guide product architecture decisions.
• Define hardware design specifications and key performance metrics for photographic and machine-vision applications.
• Partner with metrology and calibration teams to ensure simulation accuracy reflects real-world hardware behavior.
• Communicate technical findings and recommendations to stakeholders across hardware, software, and product teams.
• Manage project deliverables and schedules to meet internal commitments in ambiguous problem spaces.

What we're looking for

• BS degree and at least 10 years of relevant industry experience in Optics, Physics, or a related field.
• Programming experience in Python, C, C++, or MATLAB.
• Proficiency in at least one optics package such as Zemax, CodeV, LightTools, or similar.
• Experience in imaging system design, optical design, computational imaging, stray light, or similar.
• MS/PhD degree in Optics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (preferred).
• Experience in project management and driving projects independently in ambiguous spaces (preferred).
• Published research in optical engineering, imaging, computational photography, or related fields (preferred).
• Experience with diffraction, raytracing, beam propagation, radiometry, sensor physics, or manufacturing data analysis (preferred).
