Systems Validation Engineer — Imaging & Vision for Wearables

Quest Global; Sunnyvale (CA); On-site; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Quest Global is seeking a Systems Validation Engineer to own multi-sensor (vision/audio) system validation for next-generation wearables. You will build test capabilities for HW image quality feeding on-device AI, characterize camera performance, and develop automated testing pipelines.

You will design lab setups, perform media and scene variations, and drive cross-functional optimization to ensure robust AI features across environments. Strong Python and image-quality expertise are essential.

Qualifications

• Masters degree in Imaging Science, Computer Science, Image Processing, CV, Optics or Electrical Engineering with substantial industry experience.
• Hands-on validating imaging systems against objective image quality metrics and test protocols.
• Experience designing tests to expose camera-side limitations and to reason about accuracy, false detections, and conditions of degradation.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement validation methods for vision and sensing AI use cases across hardware setups and environments.
• Build and own lab test capability, including controlled lighting, targets, fixtures, and motion rigs, with calibration and repeatability.
• Develop Python automation for automated testing, data capture, analysis, and reporting.
• Advise on measurement methods, pass/fail criteria, and data volume needed for credible results.
• Investigate pre-production hardware issues and produce clear reports for hardware/software teams.
• Validate multi-camera interactions under varying environmental conditions and power constraints.
• Plan system-level validation across photo, video, and streaming capture for AI use cases, applying objective image-quality metrics.
• Document methods and results for repeatability and defendability.
