TL;DR · Camera System Integration Engineer

As a Camera System Integration Engineer within the Camera Technologies group, you will join the team responsible for the research, design, development, and qualification of camera hardware. You will perform trade-off studies for multiple RGB cameras, manage offshore manufacturing partners during prototype builds and qualification, and lead failure analysis and corrective actions at manufacturing sites. Your daily work involves evaluating and debugging high-performance, compact camera modules and depth-sensing hardware while documenting specific design and testing requirements. The role requires expertise in optomechanical products, geometric optics, image quality evaluation, and electronic circuit design including power delivery and signal integrity. You will navigate complex system constraints to integrate components like sensors and lenses into mobile devices. Key technical competencies include knowledge of manufacturing processes such as active alignment and sensor attachment, alongside proficiency in failure analysis techniques like X-ray and SEM.

What you'll do

  • Perform trade-off studies for multiple RGB cameras to meet specific system design constraints.
  • Integrate camera hardware into products by coordinating with optical, electrical, mechanical, and sensing teams.
  • Lead offshore manufacturing partners in camera design evaluation, prototype builds, and product qualification.
  • Lead failure analysis and implement corrective actions for assembly processes, testing, and calibration at manufacturing sites.
  • Analyze parametric data to improve end-of-line yield and address post-reliability failures.
  • Evaluate and debug camera hardware at both the module and product levels for design and integration.
  • Document specific requirements for camera design, testing, and manufacturing processes.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Optics, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience in the design, manufacturing, or integration of optomechanical products.
  • Ability to travel internationally for product development and production bring-up.
  • 3+ years of relevant industry experience (preferred).
  • Experience delivering products at scale from concept to mass production meeting yield, reliability, and efficiency targets (preferred).
  • Understanding of camera system architecture, including optical components, sensor integration, and image signal processing (preferred).
  • Knowledge of failure analysis techniques such as optical microscopy, X-ray, CT scans, and SEM (preferred).
  • Proficiency in electronic circuit design, power delivery, and signal integrity for high-volume systems (preferred).
