The Simulation Engineer will be part of the Camera & Depth Architecture team, focusing on designing, developing, and maintaining high-throughput simulation frameworks for camera systems. This role involves generating synthetic imagery and refining models from lens to sensor to ISP. The team aims to enhance photographic and computer vision features through innovative technology. Collaboration with cross-functional teams is essential to define hardware design specifications and performance metrics.

• BS in Optics, Physics, Electrical Engineering or related field and 10 years of relevant industry experience.
• Programming experience in at least one of the coding languages: C, C++, Python, or Matlab.
• Experience with optical imaging systems, camera control systems, or camera ISP.
• Experience with algorithms for image processing.
• MS/PhD degree in Optics, Physics, Electrical Engineering or Image Signal Processing.
• Experience in project management and/or driving projects independently in ambiguous problem spaces.
• Published research in imaging, computational photography, or computer vision.
• Experience with camera sensor physics, noise modeling, or radiometry.
• Experience with synthetic data generation for ML training pipelines, model optimization and/or deployment, related to imaging and data analyses.
• Experience with GPU computing (CUDA, OpenCL) or distributed processing at scale.

• Design, develop, and maintain high-throughput simulation frameworks.
• Generate large volumes of synthetic imagery on-demand.
• Build and refine models of camera systems from lens to sensor to ISP.
• Simulate real-world imaging performance.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to define hardware design specifications and key performance metrics.
