TL;DR · Position Sensing Systems Engineer

As part of the Camera Systems group, the Position Sensing Systems Engineer will lead product and technology development projects focused on systems-level analysis, design, and development of new camera features. The role involves defining system architectures, use-case requirements, specifications, and validation criteria while documenting these in Engineering Requirements Specifications. Responsibilities include modeling position sensing systems behaviorally to predict performance through nominal, sensitivity, and Monte-Carlo analyses, as well as contributing to the maintenance of test and calibration codebases. Candidates should possess expertise in magnetic or optical sensing systems, mixed-signal electronics, signal processing, measurement science, and physical modeling. Required technical skills include implementing behavioral models using Matlab or Python, performing magneto-static simulations with tools like ANSYS or COMSOL, and conducting statistical data analysis for manufacturing yield investigations using JMP to solve complex camera performance challenges.

What you'll do

  • Define position sensing system architectures, use-case requirements, and validation criteria.
  • Document technical specifications within Engineering Requirements Specifications.
  • Model sensing systems behaviorally to predict performance through nominal, sensitivity, and Monte-Carlo analyses.
  • Lead the engineering validation of sensing systems in coordination with partner teams.
  • Develop, implement, and maintain test and calibration codebases for sensing systems.
  • Create behavioral models of signal chains using tools like Matlab or Python to evaluate performance.
  • Perform magneto-static simulations using Finite Element Analysis tools like ANSYS or COMSOL.
  • Analyze high-volume manufacturing data to conduct yield and quality investigations.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in EE, ECE, Engineering Physics, or a similar field.
  • A PhD in EE, ECE, Engineering Physics, or a similar field is preferred.
  • Minimum of 10 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Experience with magnetic or optical sensing systems.
  • Experience with mixed-signal electronics and/or signal processing.
  • Experience with measurement science, calibration, or physical modeling.
  • Experience implementing behavioral models of sensing system signal chains in tools like Matlab or Python.
  • Experience with magneto-static simulations using Finite Element Analysis tools like ANSYS or COMSOL.
