Optical Engineer

Description:

Summary: An Imaging System Engineer brings together world-class experts to design and deliver cutting-edge products at the intersection of hardware, software, and content. We are building the future of augmented and mixed reality, and we're looking for an experienced Imaging System Engineer to join our team. We are seeking a creative and technically skilled Imaging System Engineer with deep expertise in imaging pipelines, colour science, and real-time rendering. This role emphasizes rapid prototyping of new imaging architectures and developing perceptually accurate rendering techniques for immersive MR/AR experiences. You will work on camera capture systems, display pipelines, and perceptual modelling to help shape next-generation MR/AR technologies.

Responsibilities

● Develop perceptual features that enhance MR/AR realism by modelling human vision and colour perception.

● Build platforms for objective and subjective evaluation of virtual object rendering using psychophysical methods.

● Design and implement real-time display colour processing pipelines leveraging GPU, CPU/MCU, or hardware-accelerated resources.

● Prototype MR/AR demos using Python, MATLAB, Blender, Unity, and C#.

● Research and develop computer vision and machine learning algorithms for ambient light estimation and photorealistic object rendering.

Minimum Qualifications

● BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Imaging Science, Colour Science, Vision Science, Cognitive Science, or a related field.

● Hands-on experience in camera or display pipelines for embedded systems, mobile devices, or Android platforms.

● Proficiency in programming languages including MATLAB, Python, C++, and C#.

● Solid background in signal processing and data analysis.
