- Imaging Simulation Engineer

• Client is a world leader in the design of virtual and augmented reality systems. Come work alongside technology visionaries and research scientists to create the technology that makes VR and AR pervasive and universal. Join the adventure of a lifetime as we make science fiction real and change the world.
• The Cameras Architecture Team is looking for an Imaging Simulation Engineer, who has extended experience in leading imaging technology, algorithm development and evaluation, to help develop, validate, and execute end-to-end simulation for camera systems consisting of image sensor, optics, control algorithms, and application software for the study and validation of new camera technologies and drive future product camera architectures that meet client's product vision.
• The ideal candidate will have hands-on experiences with lab equipment and familiarity with camera test methodologies.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Advanced degree (M.S.) or equivalent acquired experience in a discipline such as Imaging Science, Image Processing, Computer Vision, or related fields
• Knowledge of image formation process (spectrum, optics/aberrations, PSF, sensor noise, Fourier theory, sampling/aliasing) needed to successfully model and simulate complex imaging phenomena.
• Experience and knowledge in developing and tuning Image Signal Processing (ISP) algorithms and pipeline.
• Experience coding in languages such as MATLAB, Python, C/C++, preferably CUDA; ability to design code for efficiency, and target different platforms such as GPU, Cloud, and others
• Experience in image quality testing of camera systems and familiarity with image quality metrics and analysis
• Hands-on experience in the development of lab setups for camera system performance study
• Experience in camera calibration and modeling of imaging systems
• Familiarity with image sensors, imaging optics, and image processing algorithms
• Ability to work with minimal direction and manage a project independently from start to finish

Responsibilities:

• Develop, validate, and execute state-of-the-art imaging software simulation tools to enable novel camera HW explorations, machine learning dataset generation, and product architecture tasks for consumer products
• Investigate latest imaging simulation methods (e.g. ISET, ZEMAX, non-sequential ray tracing) to enable realistic simulation of real camera behavior for architecture, algorithms, and image quality development for consumer mobile products.
• Experiment and data collection to validate simulator accuracy and to improve simulator modeling capability and efficiency
• Build and bring up lab setups for image data acquisition of camera prototypes to support camera design studies. Operate, calibrate, and perform routine maintenance of lab equipment
• Develop and document camera test methodologies to support 2D/3D camera system performance analysis.
• Develop and debug test scripts for image data collection automation
• Processing, analysis and organizing measurement data; presentation of initial analysis
• Drive supplier interaction and management to deliver camera prototypes in support of concept demonstrations

Must-Have Skills:

• Understanding of image formation, capturing, and processing pipeline and techniques
• Python/MATLAB programming, shell scripting skills
• Understanding of subjective and objective image quality evaluation metrics and testing procedures

Nice-to-Have Skills:

• Hands-on experience in the development of lab setups for camera system performance study
• Experience in camera calibration and modeling of imaging systems
• Candidates with experience at Google or Apple
• Years of Experience: 10+ years required

Education:

• Bachelor's required, Master's or PhD preferred
