As a Silicon Architect for the Camera Hardware team, you will work cross-functionally to define and develop digital control, processing, and functional capabilities for next-generation camera sensors in support of innovative product features. You will identify opportunities for advancement in camera systems aligned with emerging technologies and critical system constraints.
Description
Your role will be to evaluate the problem/solution space, including system constraint discovery, to identify creative architectural implementation approaches. You will develop & drive chip-level specifications through the implementation phase and support bring-up and debug of initial silicon implementation, including the development of optimized settings for key product-level camera features. Additionally, you will represent new camera silicon in cross-functional forums in support of the productization of sensor features across hardware, software, and system teams. You will assess feature and implementation tradeoffs, including conducting hands-on analysis of data-path/algorithms, performance, and power trade-offs to help define and refine our camera sensors and participate in and drive the advancement of our architectural exploration/development methodologies.
