Camera Systems, Optical and Imaging

About the role:

As a Camera Systems Engineer, you will be a key member of the hardware team. Both a technologist and a leader, the successful candidate will develop and execute test strategies in order to debug, solve complex hardware problems and propose solutions.

The ideal candidate will be a leader by example, promoting positive company culture and fostering transparency throughout the organization. This person approaches problems with insight and creativity in equal measure, never accepting solutions that compromise values or quality as an option. They treat everyone as a peer and understand that listening is as imperative to effective communication as speaking.

A Camera Systems Engineer will have a knack for prioritization, be driven by data and quantifiable metrics, and will emphasize engineering excellence within the team.

As a Camera Systems Engineer, you will have an amazing opportunity to shape the way we develop and test our camera products. We are looking for candidates with a solid background of either optics, imaging, camera module, or opto-machanism who has hands-on experience in testing complex systems to join our team. This role is ideal for an engineer who is a strong, independent worker ready to take on new challenges, and eager to work with cutting edge technology.
