Camera System Engineer-Sensor integration

OverviewWe are building the next generation of robotic systems that transform how millions of customer orders are fulfilled every day. We are seeking a Camera Systems Engineer to design, evaluate, and integrate advanced imaging solutions that enable high-fidelity robotic perception at scale. This role focuses on integrating and tuning off-the-shelf camera systems (RGB, monochrome, stereo, and depth) into robotics platforms. You will be responsible for camera performance evaluation, calibration, and system-level optimization to ensure robust perception in real-world environments. This role does not involve custom lens design, laser optics, or microscopy.ResponsibilitiesSelect, evaluate, and integrate commercial camera modules (RGB, mono, stereo, depth) into robotic perception systems.Develop and automate methods for camera performance characterization (noise, distortion, MTF, SNR, color accuracy, dynamic range).Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and software teams to optimize image signal processing (ISP) pipelines for robotic applications.Define system requirements, create test plans, and conduct experiments at system and subsystem levels.Work with suppliers and internal customers to qualify and validate camera solutions for high-volume deployment.Basic QualificationsBachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Optics, or related discipline.5+ years of experience in camera systems engineering, from concept to production.Direct, hands-on experience with 2D imaging systems (RGB, mono, stereo, or depth cameras).Proven ability to tune and characterize camera systems, including ISP tuning, calibration, and performance analysis.Knowledge of camera performance metrics (MTF, distortion, noise, color, dynamic range, rolling/global shutter).Familiarity with Zemax simulation tool, applied to camera system analysis (not lens manufacturing or laser optics).Preferred QualificationsExperience with camera calibration frameworks (OpenCV, MATLAB, custom pipelines).Hands-on experience with image quality evaluation tools (Imatest or similar).Strong background in sensor characterization methodologies and test automation.Experience working with suppliers of camera modules and imaging sensors.Excellent teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills.Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment.Why You’ll Love It HerePlay a critical role in the vision systems that power one of the largest robotics deployments in the world.See your work move from prototype to scaled deployment in real-world applications.Collaborate with a diverse team of engineers passionate about robotics, imaging, and innovation.Grow your career while shaping the future of robotic perception.Job DetailsSeniority level: Mid-Senior levelEmployment type: ContractJob function: OtherBedford, MA$105,000 - $110,0001 week agoReferrals increase your chances of interviewing at Pentangle Tech Services | P5 Group by 2x #J-18808-Ljbffr
