The Sensor System Engineer joins the Fingerprint Sensor team to develop innovative biometric solutions for next-generation mobile devices. This role involves architecting and defining end-to-end system solutions, optimizing hardware/software interfaces, and developing algorithms that integrate sensor physics with advanced data analysis to improve accuracy and robustness. The engineer will define requirements across diverse platforms, develop specifications for ASICs and modules, and characterize performance under edge conditions through firmware refinement. Key responsibilities include performing system-level verification to ensure production readiness and collaborating with cross-functional teams. Required skills include experience with C/C++/C#, MATLAB, JMP, and Cadence or SPICE tools, alongside familiarity with I²C, SPI, and MIPI protocols. The role addresses the technical challenge of creating high-performance, reliable biometric sensing technologies for high-volume consumer products by solving complex problems in sensor physics and hardware/software co-optimization.
