About the role
Analytical role focused on characterizing and improving system performance of camera and sensing systems through data-driven analysis, end-to-end measurement, and cross-disciplinary collaboration with module, optics, algorithm, and system teams.
Responsibilities
- Own the characterization of system performance end to end — from risk and failure mode mapping through methodology definition, execution, analysis and reporting
- Define metrics, testing & measurement methodology
- Mine large data sets to isolate performance root causes
- Correlate physical measurement to human perception — where the HW meets the user
- Build the analysis capability the work requires — pipelines, tooling methods
- Present and defend findings to module, optics, algorithm and system teams
Qualifications
- MSc in Optics, Physics, Electrical Engineering or a related field, with at least 3 years of hands-on experimental and analytical experience
- Strong data analysis and visualization — digest empirical data in a way that answers the question, and explain why that is the right way to look at it
- Experience designing experiments to isolate a single effect, with the statistical judgment to assess sample size, repeatability and measurement error
- Detailed understanding of optical sensing and imaging systems: image sensors, illumination sources, optical elements, and the tolerances that govern them
- Great interpersonal skills — working collaboratively with peers and colleagues across the organization
