Job description

Seeking a talented Senior Design Engineer to join our global team and will be responsible Oversee the Design, implement, and validate in-vehicle camera visualization features (rear view, 360° surround/bird’s-eye, trailer assist, recording/streaming) across embedded SoC and ECU platforms development lifecycle, from planning and design to implementation and testing. Ensure timely delivery and high-quality output.

Role and Responsibilities

• Feature design & requirements: Translate UX/PM requirements into technical specs and acceptance criteria.
• Image pipeline development: Implement and tune ISP stages (denoise, HDR merge, color, distortion correction).
• Integration: Integrate camera drivers (GMSL/FPD/CSI), SerDes, and SoC video pipelines; manage calibration flows.
• Validation & HIL: Create HIL/image‑injection tests, automated regression, and field test plans to validate latency, stitching, and artifact rates.
• Safety & compliance: Contribute to ISO 26262 work products, ASPICE artifacts, and FMVSS111 considerations.
• Cross‑team coordination: Work with UX, safety, firmware, and manufacturing for production readiness.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or higher in an engineering Discipline – Computer Science, Electronics & Communication, Electronics & Computer, Electrical & Electronics
• 6+ years in production software development and delivering software for camera/ADAS or embedded video systems.
• 8+ years of overall experience

Preferred Qualifications

• Embedded software: C/C++, Python, Linux BSP, Yocto, driver debugging
• Image Processing: OpenCV, ISP tuning, HDR fusion, denoise, demosaic, geometric undistortion, seam‑aware stitching
• Interfaces: MIPI/CSI, GMSL, FPD, SerDes, I²C
• Platforms: Linux BSP, Yocto, embedded SoC video pipelines, hardware accelerators, DMA
• Validation: HIL, image injection/video replay, objective IQ metrics (PSNR/SSIM variants), subjective panel correlation
• Tools: Video replay systems, PXI, trace/profiling tools, calibration rigs
• Standards: ISO 26262, ASPICE, FMVSS111, ISO/SAE 21434 basics
• Automotive Infotainment/Cluster/Display SW Architecture
• Agile methodology, ALM (Jira)
• Software development best practice and quality: ASPICE, Unit testing, SW Quality, SW life cycle
