Camera Test Engineer

About the role:

As part of the Camera Hardware Engineering Team, the Camera Test Engineer will own multiple camera module calibrations and test systems. They will use equipment and algorithms to validate sub-component and improve the overall camera module performance for our drones.

This person will have a good understanding of different aspects of design and testing. They will be comfortable traveling to module integrators in Asia to drive module test development efforts.

How you'll make an impact:

• Develop test equipment, algorithms, and methodologies to validate designs and provide significant feedback for design iterations


• Improve all camera modules for our next-generation drones


• Work closely with internal camera design, vehicle manufacturing, and module integrator to build the entire suite of camera calibration and performance test capabilities


• Develop multiple custom cameras to have a significant impact on our future roadmap and across the entire drone industry

What makes you a good fit:

• Proficient in Python and/or MATLAB; Python highly preferred


• Proven understanding of imaging systems and image quality metrics


• Ability to bring up extensive camera module tester selection including light panels, test charts, and test algorithms


• Ability to perform comprehensive camera module calibrations and performance characterization (SFR, LSC, color calibration, image sensor noise, Autofocus calibration, testing, etc.) and failure analysis


• Direct laboratory experience testing optical and camera modules


• Expertise in lens and illumination system design, testing, and validation


• Experience in optical design tools such as ZEMAX/CodeV and LightTools
