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, translate complex system architectures into electrical and IC requirements, and search for design issues at the boundary of system requirements and vendor implementations. Daily responsibilities include developing plans for camera electrical validation, performing data analysis, and creating software such as scripts, firmware, and models for laboratory data acquisition and silicon validation. You will design and debug circuits and PCBs for prototyping camera hardware chipsets. Required skills include experience with mixed signal systems, electrical instrumentation, design of experiments, and scripting in Python, C, and MATLAB.

What you'll do

  • Identify design issues by analyzing the gap between camera system requirements and vendor implementations.
  • Develop and execute comprehensive 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 prototyping and characterizing camera hardware chipsets.
  • Conduct hands-on measurements using electrical instrumentation to validate mixed-signal systems.
  • Use Design of Experiments (DOE) processes to troubleshoot and debug complex electrical problems.

What we're looking for

  • BS degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering and a minimum of 3+ 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 process 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).
