- experience in camera module or product development, optical calibration, or production line EOL testing.
- Understanding of camera intrinsic and extrinsic calibration matrix mathematics and distortion models.
- Production Line (EOL/AA) Knowledge: Proven track record of deploying camera testing or calibration stations in a mass-production factory environment.
- Experience with Active Alignment (AA) machine specification and yield optimization is highly preferred.
- Mechanical & Environmental Stress Analysis: Familiarity with assessing image quality degradation under physical stress;
- experience using optical rails, 6-axis precision mounts, and executing vibration/thermal profile testing on camera modules.
- Tooling & Lab Infrastructure Mastery: Demonstrated ability to plan, source, and calibrate specialized optical testing equipment to maintain strict testing repeatability.
- BS or MS degree in Electrical Engineering or related technical field.
- Strong ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams and drive independent work.
- All offers of employment are contingent upon an individual’s ability to secure and maintain the legal right to work at the company and in the specified work location, if applicable.
