Sr. Image Quality Architecture Engineer

Details

• Be an architect: Evaluate system feature tradeoffs and create the system IQ specifications for development with product management and cross-functional engineering teams.
• Design and procure the IQ Lab (Charts, Light Booths, LED Flicker targets).
• Define the optical requirements and lead the selection/qualification of lenses.
• Develop the "Golden Tuning" targets for the ISP (Auto Exposure, HDR, Color Science) including Day and Night mode. Define and tune stabilization strategies (EIS) to mitigate "jello effect" and motion blur in dynamic scenarios.
• Collaborate with Hardware Engineering (PD and Optical) to ensure CRA (Chief Ray Angle) matching between lens and sensor and preventing optical degradation during high-G events.
• Manage: We bolster our internal development team with top JDM companies to design, validate, certify and manufacture quality products, certification labs and other external consultants.
• Champion and embed Samsara’s cultural principles (Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, Win as a Team) as we scale globally and across new offices.
• 10+ years in Imaging/Optics; deep knowledge of CMOS sensors and ISP tuning (Sony, ON Semi, or Ambarella). Vibration & Motion Expertise: Proven experience in managing image stabilization (EIS OR OIS) and characterizing optical performance in high-vibration/high-shock environments. Must have shipped automotive or high-end imaging products from "bring-up" to mass production. Proven record navigating tradeoffs between design, manufacturability, schedule, and cost. BS or MS degree in Electrical Engineering or related technical field. Ability to travel up to 25% when necessary. Strong ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams and drive independent work. Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
