You’ll work on industrial-scale ML solutions for camera systems, computational photography, and generative AI features, impacting millions of OPPO devices globally. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to balance real-time performance, privacy, and user-centric innovation.

Why OPPO?

· Impact millions of users through cutting-edge AI in cameras and AR.

· Work with global R&D teams in a fast-paced, innovation-driven environment.

Key Responsibilities:

· Research and develop advanced computer vision models (e.g., object detection, segmentation, generative AI, multi-modal understanding) for OPPO’s hardware and software system.

· Optimize models for mobile deployment (e.g., quantization, pruning, NPU acceleration) to achieve efficiency on edge devices.

· Drive GenAI applications (e.g., image/video generation, enhancement, or personalized content) from prototyping to production.

· Collaborate with product teams to integrate CV/ML solutions into OPPO’s camera, and gallery platforms.

· Publish cutting-edge research at top-tier conferences (CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, etc.) and patent novel technologies.

· Analyze trillion-scale visual data to improve model robustness and user experience.

Qualifications:

Minimum:

1. PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.

2. Strong Python/C++ skills and experience with PyTorch/TensorFlow.

3. Hands-on CV/ML project experience (e.g., object detection, generative models, or mobile deployment).

4. Knowledge of model optimization techniques (pruning, distillation, etc.).

Preferred:

1. 3+ years of industry experience deploying models on edge devices.

2. Publications at top conferences (CVPR, ICCV, ECCV) or patents in CV/ML.

3. Expertise in mobile ML stacks (TensorFlow Lite, Qualcomm SNPE, MediaTek APU).

4. Familiarity with Multimodality and Large Multimodal Models (vision-language).
