About the Role

Join a team deploying autonomous systems on heavy construction machinery, accelerating infrastructure projects and improving job site safety. Apply cutting-edge technology to solve meaningful physical-world problems alongside construction veterans and world-class engineers.

Responsibilities

  • Own the camera pipeline end to end, diagnosing image quality failures, tuning ISP parameters, and validating improvements across the full operating radiometric range.
  • Own embedded camera driver development and integration, including register-level control, frame synchronization, and software interfaces for runtime ISP parameter control.
  • Characterize existing ISP pipeline behavior from first principles, identifying root causes of image quality failures.
  • Tune ISP and imager settings to optimize image quality for ML perception models and remote assistance/teleoperation.
  • Establish and run test protocols to confirm ISP changes improve low-light performance without adversely affecting daytime model performance.
  • Translate scene and platform constraints into concrete ISP tuning targets.
  • Debug camera issues from sensor/ISP register state to captured imagery, in lab and field.
  • Define and drive image quality characterization methodologies and track performance across hardware and ISP firmware generations.
  • Manage relationships with ISP, camera module, and embedded compute vendors.

Requirements

  • Hands-on experience tuning ISP pipelines on real hardware with a track record of diagnosing and correcting failure modes.
  • Deep familiarity with AE algorithm internals and their interaction with challenging scenes.
  • Hands-on experience writing or integrating embedded camera drivers and building associated tooling and software interfaces.
  • Familiarity with camera data pipelines on embedded platforms.
  • Understanding of how ISP tuning choices affect downstream ML/perception model performance.
  • Working knowledge of camera sensor fundamentals.
  • Working knowledge of radiometry.
  • Strong data analysis skills, including experience with large datasets and statistical methods.
  • 8+ years of relevant industry experience in ISP tuning, embedded camera systems, image quality engineering, or closely related roles.
  • Demonstrated ability to characterize, diagnose, and improve camera image quality on fielded hardware.
  • Embedded systems experience, including driver-level debugging and real-time constraints.
  • Comfortable working in C/C++ and/or Python for driver-level work, tooling, and test automation.
