GlossGenius is hiring a Camera Firmware Engineer to join the Google Pixel team. In this role, you will develop and deploy advanced camera algorithms, debug image quality issues, and work on novel hardware pipelines for emerging XR platforms.
What You'll Do
- Conduct tuning, development, and deployment of advanced 3A strategies, ensuring they meet rigorous image quality targets across various capture conditions.
- Act as the primary technical owner for diagnosing, debugging, and resolving 3A-related image quality issues identified during mass production testing and from in-market customer escalations.
- Collaborate with architecture and research teams to analyze, adapt, optimize, and deploy specialized Pixel imaging solutions onto novel hardware pipelines for emerging XR platforms.
- Develop and refine comprehensive image quality test plans and tuning methodologies to validate algorithm performance for new sensor technologies and novel ISP pipelines.
- Design and validate 3A performance within camera operations, including multi-frame processing and videos.
What We're Looking For
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 5 years of experience in coding with a general purpose programming language (e.g., C/C++).
- 3 years of experience in image processing.
- 2 years of experience in camera tuning.
Nice to Have
- Master’s degree or PhD in Engineering, Computer Science, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Experience with imaging systems development (cameras or displays) and image processing.
- Experience with System-on-Chip (SoC) architectures and with camera subsystems on platforms like Qualcomm or Ambarella.
- Experience with 3A algorithms (auto exposure, auto white balance, auto focus) and core camera calibration concepts (e.g., lens shading, defect correction).
- Understanding of the 3A and image signal processing (ISP) pipeline, including key blocks related to 3A.
- Ability to debug system-level issues that span hardware, firmware, and software.
Technical Stack
- C/C++
Team & Environment
