Requirements
- Bachelors in a relevant field (Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Optics, Mechatronics Engineering or equivalent) and a minimum of 3 years relevant industry experience.
Responsibilities
- Design lead of camera and/or illumination modules targeting the highest level of user experience while meeting system integration and industrial design requirements.
- Interaction with optical, electrical, process, controls systems, sensing, test, and mechanical teams on integration of camera hardware into products.
- Maintain, drive and present executive updates on camera integration status, major issues list and recommendations to leadership
- Data analysis and optimizations of assembly processes, testing, and calibration; parametric-data analysis of end-of-line yield and post-reliability failures.
- Failure analysis and debugging of camera HW and SW at product levels for Camera/Depth Design and Integration in order to determine corrective actions across the supply chain.
- Leadership of offshore manufacturing partners on camera design evaluation, product prototype builds, and qualification.
- Documentation of camera-specific design, test, and manufacturing requirements.
- International travel may be required to supplier facilities for product development and production bring-up.
Preferred Qualifications
- Understanding of camera system architecture, including optical components, system integration, image/depth sensor and image signal processing
- Understanding of geometric optics and image quality evaluation including test charts, algorithms, and lighting conditions
- Proficiency in electronic circuit and system design including power delivery, signal integrity
- Ability to lead a multi-functional team of engineers and scientists with unique background and technical expertise through the R&D phase of product development from concept to mass production.
- Ability to influence other teams, manage risk, make decisions with limited amount of information, deliver against a fast-paced development environment while keeping leadership updated on status and next steps
- Failure analysis techniques such as optical microscopy, X-ray, CT scans or SEM. Ability in root-cause and corrective-action analysis.
- Proficiency in statistical analysis, data reporting, and visualization.
- Design and tolerance analysis of highly constrained, high-volume actuators or translational mechanisms.
- Proven track record of successfully delivering new products into mass production on time, meeting yield and efficiency targets.
