Support validation and production readiness while working with analog, digital, algorithm, and application engineering teams.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and implement sensor timing control logic and contribute to ISP system-level integration
- Participate in chip-level architecture definition, including analog interfaces, control logic, image data processing pipelines, and power/performance/area (PPA) trade-offs
- Integrate and validate ISP data paths based on PRD, design specifications, and overall SoC architecture
- Collaborate closely with CIS project leads and sensor digital/analog engineers for system integration and validation
- Work with physical design teams on floor planning, timing closure, and DFT implementation
- Perform full-chip integration and verification
- Support chip bring-up, validation, and silicon debugging
- Collaborate with algorithm and application engineers on image tuning, optimization, and qualification
- Support silicon validation, debugging, and image quality tuning through production readiness
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field, or equivalent practical experience
- At least 4 years of hands-on experience designing RTL digital logic using Verilog/System Verilog, or equivalent industry experience
- Proficiency with scripting languages such as Python or Perl to support design, verification, and automation workflows
- Experience analyzing and optimizing area, power, and performance (PPA) trade-offs in digital designs
Preferred Qualifications
- Master’s degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline
- Strong background in image sensor and camera system design or integration
- Experience with high-speed MIPI interfaces (e.g., CSI-2 / D-PHY / C-PHY)
- Practical experience with Image Signal Processing (ISP) architectures and pipelines
