The Sensor System Engineer joins the Fingerprint Sensor team within the Multimedia Systems group to develop biometric solutions for next-generation mobile devices. This role involves architecting end-to-end system solutions, defining integration requirements, and optimizing hardware/software interfaces and drive schemes. The engineer will lead algorithm development by integrating sensor physics with data analysis to improve accuracy and robustness. Key tasks include developing hardware specifications for ASICs and sensors, characterizing performance under edge conditions through firmware refinement, and performing system-level verification for production readiness. Required technical skills include proficiency in C/C++/C#, MATLAB, and JMP, along with experience in I2C, SPI, and MIPI protocols. Candidates must also utilize lab equipment like oscilloscopes and design tools such as Cadence and SPICE to solve complex biometric sensing problems.
