Job description

Deepnight is seeking an electrical engineer. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in display and camera sensor integration, with expertise in MIPI connections, board design, and layout. This role requires a hands‑on approach to hardware development, including low‑level firmware implementation and embedded debugging using various test equipment.

About us:Deepnight builds AI‑powered vision systems that enable humans and machines to see in near‑total darkness. We have developed a neural network that achieves performance on par with traditional military night vision, but embedded directly into commodity CMOS cameras. We are now vertically integrating - designing and manufacturing complete hardware products around our AI model to push the limits of low‑light imaging. Our work spans AI research, optics, sensors, and embedded systems.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and test electrical systems for displays and camera sensors.
• Work extensively with MIPI interfaces for high‑speed data transfer.
• Lead board design and layout activities, ensuring signal integrity and power efficiency.
• Collaborate with firmware engineers to implement low‑level firmware for display and camera sensor control.
• Perform embedded debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other test equipment to diagnose and resolve hardware issues.
• Document design specifications, test plans, and validation reports.
• Work effectively within a cross‑functional team, communicating technical information clearly and concisely.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 3+ years of experience in electrical engineering with a focus on display and camera sensor integration.
• Proven experience with MIPI D-PHY/C-PHY connections.
• Strong proficiency in PCB design tools.
• Experience with board layout and routing for complex digital and analog circuits.
• Proficient in embedded debugging techniques and tools.
• Hands‑on experience with oscilloscopes for signal integrity analysis and debugging.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with image processing pipelines.
• Knowledge of various display technologies (e.g., LCD, OLED).
• Familiarity with embedded operating systems.
• Experience with high‑speed serial interfaces beyond I2C or I3C.
