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. The engineer will model sensing systems behaviorally to predict performance through nominal, sensitivity, and Monte-Carlo analyses, and contribute to the maintenance of test and calibration codebases. Required expertise includes electrical engineering fundamentals like mixed-signal electronics and signal processing, along with experience in magnetic or optical sensing systems. Candidates should be proficient in MATLAB, Python, JMP for statistical data analysis, and finite element analysis tools like ANSYS or COMSOL. The work centers on solving technical challenges related to camera hardware performance and photography experience.

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.
  • Perform measurement science, calibration, and physical modeling for camera hardware.
  • Analyze high-volume manufacturing data using statistical tools like JMP.
  • Conduct magneto-static simulations using Finite Element Analysis tools like ANSYS or COMSOL.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in EE, ECE, Engineering Physics, or a similar field.
  • PhD in EE, ECE, Engineering Physics, or a similar field is preferred.
  • Experience with magnetic, optical, or similar sensing systems.
  • Training or experience in electrical engineering fundamentals including analog, digital, and mixed-signal electronics and signal processing.
  • Ability to implement behavioral models of sensing system signal chains using MATLAB, Python, or similar tools.
  • Experience with measurement science, calibration, and physical modeling.
  • 10+ years of work or industry experience is preferred.
  • Proficiency in statistical data analysis, magneto-static simulations (ANSYS/COMSOL), and systems engineering concepts.
