Senior Embedded Vision Solutions Architect

Jobtailor; Palo Alto (CA); On-site; USD 180,000 - 240,000; Full time

Job summary

Mythic is seeking a senior lead to drive technical engagements in camera systems, imaging, and embedded AI. You will translate customer needs into measurable requirements and help shape product roadmaps across automotive, robotics, medical, and industrial imaging.

Responsibilities include developing demonstrations, evaluation kits, and reference designs, while collaborating with silicon, hardware, software, and AI teams to ensure successful design-ins and validation.

Qualifications

• 10+ years in camera systems with senior technical or team leadership.
• Deep expertise across the imaging signal chain: image sensors, optics, ISP, tuning and calibration, and image-quality measurement.
• Demonstrated success taking camera/vision systems from architecture and prototype through validation and volume production.
• Strong customer-facing technical skills, including evaluations, integration support, and troubleshooting with external engineering teams.
• Ability to author MRDs/PRDs and prioritized requirements.
• Cross-functional fluency with silicon, hardware, firmware, software, and AI teams.
• Preferred: Experience deploying vision models on embedded or specialized AI accelerators; familiarity with edge AI, SoC integration, or compute-in-memory architectures.
• Preferred: Background spanning two or more of Automotive, Robotics, Medical, Consumer, and Industrial imaging.
• Preferred: Hands-on development of reference designs, evaluation kits, or proof-of-concept camera systems.
• Preferred: Semiconductor-side experience with image sensors or ISP product definition.

Responsibilities

• Lead initial technical engagements to understand customer imaging, sensing, and embedded-AI use cases, system architectures, and product constraints.
• Translate customer needs into measurable requirements for image quality, AI performance, latency, power, reliability, interfaces, and system cost.
• Define and develop customer demonstrations, evaluation kits, reference designs, and proof-of-concept systems integrating sensors with Mythic technology.
• Support customers through technical evaluation, system integration, troubleshooting, and design-in.
• Serve as the sensor and camera-system subject-matter expert across automotive, robotics, medical, consumer, and industrial applications.
• Translate system and customer requirements into MRDs, PRDs, functional specifications, and prioritized engineering requirements.
• Work with silicon, hardware, software, and AI teams to assess feasibility, identify capability gaps, and guide product-roadmap decisions.
• Define system-level validation plans and success criteria covering image quality, AI accuracy, latency, power, reliability, and overall customer experience.
• Close the loop between customer needs and the Gen2 roadmap.
