Title: Senior Camera Tuning Engineer 
Duration: Full-time Direct Hire
Location: Plantation, Florida, United States (Hybrid / Remote) 
Benefits: Excellent benefits available, including unlimited PTO, 401(k) match, a bonus percentage tied to role, fully reimbursed travel and expenses, unlimited e-learning through Coursera, and relocation assistance.

Role:

• Own the full tuning chain: black level, lens shading, defect correction, demosaic, noise reduction, sharpening, color matrices, gamma, tone mapping, and overall look
• Tune 3A (exposure, white balance, flicker) on a wearable platform where convergence behavior during rapid lighting transitions matters more than steady-state accuracy
• Make low light work without optical stabilization, using multi-frame techniques that respect a strict power budget
• Handle motion, including ghosting and fusion artifacts from a head-mounted camera that is always moving
• Build the measurement methodology for model-facing image quality, scoring tuning on downstream task accuracy, and determine whether to ship one tuning or two
• Define what gets calibrated on every unit in production versus what ships as a single golden tuning
• Stand up objective and subjective validation, with regression tracking that holds up against a release schedule

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of camera tuning experience, including at least two shipped products tuned end to end
• Deep hands-on experience with a vendor tuning toolchain
• Fluency across the full ISP blockchain, able to look at an image and name the block responsible
• Hands-on 3A tuning experience, not only 3A configuration
• Knowledge of objective IQ methodology and standards, including ISO 12233, ISO 15739, ISO 14524, and CPIQ
• Lab experience with controlled illuminants, chart-based measurement, uniform sources, and reflectance targets
• Proficiency in Python or MATLAB
• Ability to defend a tuning decision with data, and change it when the data changes

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with Qualcomm Spectra and Chromatix
• Experience tuning or evaluating imagery for machine-learning consumption
• Low-light and multi-frame tuning without optical stabilization
• Wearable, action camera, automotive, or other non-handset tuning experience
• Experience with Imatest, DXO Analyzer, or Image Engineering toolchains
• Experience standing up a tuning lab from scratch

Compensation offered will be determined by factors such as location, level, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Salary Range is $140,000. to $160,000 annually.

Equal employment opportunity: All qualified persons will be considered for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, marital status, familial status, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability for which a reasonable accommodation can be made or any other status protected by law.
