Key Responsibilities

ISP Tuning & Image Quality Optimization

• Assist in tuning ISP pipelines (AE, AWB, noise reduction, sharpness, contrast, color) for camera systems deployed on edge devices.
• Work with senior experts to adapt and optimize ISP tuning for Jetson Orin-based platforms.
• Debug ISP pipelines and identify image artifacts such as noise, color shifts, distortion, and HDR-related issues.
• Support calibration of camera modules across varied lighting and environmental conditions.

Image Quality Evaluation

• Perform subjective and objective image quality (IQ) evaluation across multiple use cases including daylight, low-light, and IR scenarios.
• Use tools like Imatest to analyze:
  • Sharpness, distortion, and uniformity
  • Lens artifacts (flare, chromatic aberration)
  • Color accuracy, dynamic range, and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)
• Execute benchmarking against reference devices and competitor systems.

Testing & Validation

• Design and execute IQ validation workflows for different camera systems.
• Generate detailed IQ reports with findings, root cause analysis, and recommendations.
• Support lab-based and real-world testing using controlled lighting setups.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Collaborate with:
  • Hardware teams (sensor/lens selection, IR filters, optics)
  • Software teams (camera pipeline integration)
  • ML teams (camera performance impact on downstream models)
• Track issues and improvements using tools like Jira.

Required Qualifications

• 8–10 years of experience in:
  • ISP tuning / image quality engineering
  • Camera validation and testing
• Hands-on experience with:
  • ISP parameter tuning (AE, AWB, LSC, noise reduction, etc.)
  • Image quality tools such as Imatest, ImageJ, or similar tools
• Familiarity with:
  • Image quality test charts (ISO 12233, Macbeth Color Checker, etc.)
  • Camera lab setups and lighting environments
• Strong debugging and root-cause analysis skills.
• Experience with Ambarella or similar ISP platforms.
• Exposure to:
  • Automotive cameras (ADAS/DMS)
  • Surveillance or consumer camera systems
• Familiarity with Jetson Orin or NVIDIA camera stack (nice to have, not required).
• Understanding of HDR pipelines (e.g., DOL-HDR).
• Experience working with multi-camera or edge AI systems.
