Staff Systems Engineer - Camera
Core
Own the camera stack for a humanoid home robot, from sensor selection and vendor engagement to end-of-line calibration and production delivery of calibrated frames to perception models.
Role type
Staff Systems Engineer (Camera & Imaging)
Builds
Camera pipeline, sensor drivers, multi-camera synchronization, and calibration infrastructure for a physical robot.
Domain
Robotics, Embedded Systems, Computer Vision
Deliverable
production ML models
Required skills
Camera systems depth (sensors, optics, ISP), Embedded Linux (V4L2, MIPI CSI-2, device tree), Camera calibration (intrinsics/extrinsics), C++ (performance-critical), Hardware debugging (MIPI, SerDes, I2C, PoE), Fleet-scale diagnostics
Preferred skills
ISP tuning for perception models, Calibration in manufacturing (fixtures, cycle time), CUDA/GPU image processing, Multi-camera synchronization and stereo rectification
Technologies
C++, Embedded Linux, V4L2, MIPI CSI-2, CUDA, GPU
Responsibilities
Define sensor/lens requirements and run trade studies with hardware/perception teams; Deliver robust sensor drivers and frame delivery meeting latency budgets; Tune image path (exposure, white balance) for perception accuracy in real-world lighting; Implement automated calibration on production lines with drift monitoring and field recovery.
Seniority
Staff, hands-on IC
