Job Title: Image Quality Engineer III

Duration: 12 Months

Location: Redmond, WA, 98052

Summary:

• In this role, you will work with a team of scientists & engineers, using internally developed simulation tools to predict system level performance of novel products and prototypes. Analysis of the simulation results will be used to directly improve product/prototype performance.

Top 3 must-have HARD skills:

• camera - image pipeline design
• display - image pipeline design
• tone mapping and gamut mapping
• general background image signal processing or digital signal processing
• experience with optical or distortion correction, color imagery

Good to have skills:

• NOT someone who can tune the image pipeline, but DESIGN
• Understand what they are doing and why they are doing it
• More than just tuning but Theory and Depth
• Seeing projects through end to end
• Systems level engineering

Job Responsibilities:

• Use simulation tools to model end-to-end performance of display systems
• Report analysis of these simulations to establish specifications for these display systems and ensure a successful product
• Collaborate with the larger research team to explore concepts and drive system performance to create compelling experiences

Minimum Qualifications:

Knowledge of several of the following:

• µLED, OLED, LCD, LCOS, DMD, etc based displays, display metrology/calibration, image signal processing, camera ISP, display pipeline architecture, digital filters, colorimetry, color space conversions, imaging waveguides, image quality metrics, human perception.
• Experience with image algorithm/ISP development, convolutions, Fourier transforms
• Deep experience in MATLAB
• BS in Engineering, Physics, Optics, Computer Science, Color Science, Electrical Engineering or equivalent work/education experience.

Preferred Qualifications:

• MS in the field of Optical Engineering, Physics, Electrical Engineering or related degree, PhD preferred
• 5+ years of experience in research or advanced display/camera development.

Story Behind the Need – Business Group & Key Projects:

• This person will be working on Artemis 1st - the better they are, the more they can do

Compelling Story & Candidate Value Proposition:

• This team is able to work on all products- XFN work, high visibility, direct impact, will be meaningful to huge number of people,
• Great opportunity to learn new things all the time.
• Write real software

Typical Day in the Role:

• will be assigned different sections of the workload
• New projects all the time- Well-defined on what to do, how to do it, - produce a presentation and present it to the team
• 2 to 3 weeks on a project, then something new
• Work on things the way they want to - intellectual freedom to solve problems
