TL;DR · Custom Silicon Validation Engineer, Camera Hardware

The Custom Silicon Validation Engineer - Camera Hardware joins the Camera Electronics and Sensing Group to develop custom chipsets for imaging and sensing features like lens stabilization, depth sensing, and eye tracking. Working with cross-functional teams, you will evaluate performance specifications, search for design issues at the boundary of system requirements and vendor implementations, and execute plans for camera electrical validation and debugging. Daily tasks include developing software for laboratory data acquisition, control systems, and silicon validation, as well as designing and debugging circuits and PCBs for prototyping camera hardware chipsets. Required skills include experience with mixed signal systems, electrical instrumentation, and scripting in Python, C, and MATLAB. You will also utilize low-level programming in C/C++ for embedded development and perform schematic capture and layout.

What you'll do

  • Identify design issues by analyzing the gap between camera system requirements and vendor implementations.
  • Develop and execute plans for camera electrical validation and debugging.
  • Perform data analysis on validation results to draw technical conclusions.
  • Develop software scripts, firmware, and models for laboratory data acquisition and silicon validation.
  • Design and debug circuits and PCBs for validating and characterizing camera hardware chipsets.
  • Conduct hands-on measurements using electrical instrumentation to validate mixed-signal systems.
  • Troubleshoot electrical problems using design of experiments or similar systematic processes.

What we're looking for

  • BS degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering and a minimum of 10+ years of relevant industry experience.
  • Experience validating mixed signal systems with a focus on hands-on measurements in the lab using electrical instrumentation.
  • Experience with design of experiments or similar processes to troubleshoot or debug electrical problems.
  • Experience with scripting in Python, C, and/or MATLAB for validation, automation, and analysis of electrical systems.
  • MS/PhD in Electrical or Computer Engineering and/or relevant industry experience (preferred).
  • Experience with low-level programming and debug for embedded development (C/C++) on MCU based systems (preferred).
  • Experience with PCB design and debug for hardware platforms containing drivers, converters, PMUs or high-speed amplifier ICs (preferred).
  • Experience with circuit design, schematic capture, layout, component selection, and integration of electro-optical or camera systems (preferred).
