Details
- ISP Tuning & Optimization: Assist the Lead Architect in tuning key ISP blocks (Auto Exposure, Noise Reduction, Sharpening, and Color Mapping) for both RGB and RGBIR sensors. Optimize Auto-Exposure (AE) weighting and shutter-speed priorities to minimize motion blur and "jello effect" during vehicle vibration.
- Stabilization & EIS Tuning: Actively tune Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) and gyro-sensor integration to maintain video fluidity and frame-to-frame consistency under various road surface conditions.
- Automation Development: Develop Python/MATLAB scripts to extract objective metrics (MTF, SNR, Dynamic Range) from massive field-drive datasets.
- Tuning Toolchain Management: Build and maintain internal tools to visualize ISP parameter changes, ensuring that tuning "drops" are documented and version-controlled. Include visualization for stabilization performance and motion-vector consistency to ensure tuning "drops" are documented.
- Regression Analysis (Dynamic & Static): Own the "Version-to-Version" IQ database. Ensure that fixing a DMS issue doesn't accidentally degrade stabilization or license plate clarity during high-speed driving.
- Report Generation: Automate IQ report generation. Include "Vibration Robustness" scores in the summaries to provide the Lead Architect with a complete picture of performance in real-world driving.
- 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.
- 6+ years in Image Quality or ISP Tuning; comfortable with at least one major SoC tuning tool (e.g., Ambarella, Novatek, Sony, or Qualcomm).
- Motion & Stability Expertise: Hands-on experience tuning AE for motion-blur mitigation or EIS for video stabilization.
- Strong Programming: Proficiency in Python (OpenCV, NumPy) for image processing; specifically for temporal analysis and frame-to-frame metric extraction.
- CRA & Hardware Awareness: Understanding of how lens/sensor interactions and mechanical tolerances (lens-tilt/vibration) affect the tuning limits.
- 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.
- Good written and verbal communication skills in English.
