About the role:

We're looking for a Staff Camera System Engineer to join our team. The team is responsible for product development across several Samsara product lines and new technology investigations. In the day-to-day, you will be responsible for defining camera systems and designing board-level and system-level camera circuits. You will lead the design of camera subsystems and next-generation products through feasibility, design, development, and validation encompassing image sensor selection and lens characterization. We run a collaborative process working closely with customers, PM, EE, PD, SW, EPM, Rel, and QA to make excellent decisions.

You should apply if:

* You want to impact the industries that run our world: Your efforts will result in real-world impact-helping to keep the lights on, get food into grocery stores, reduce emissions, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely.
* You are the architect of your own career: If you put in the work, this role won't be your last at Samsara. We set up our employees for success and have built a culture that encourages rapid career development, and countless opportunities to experiment and master your craft in a hyper-growth environment.
* You're energized by our opportunity: The vision we have to digitize large sectors of the global economy requires your full focus and best efforts to bring forth creative, ambitious ideas for our customers.

In this role, you will:

* Define next-generation camera hardware based on new technologies, field feedback, and customer requirements, including sensor selection and lens characterization
* Create camera subsystem specifications, analyze, model, characterize, and test the camera module's electrical, optical, and optoelectronic components through all phases of the development process from concept to product ramp
* Define test and calibration methods for camera modules and other optical sensors, including test station hardware and algorithm development
* Work on SOC video pipeline definition, imaging ISP, IQ tuning, and objective/subjective image quality evaluation
* Review board-level schematic design and PCB layout of camera circuits and system-level integration
* Bring up camera and other optical subsystems and enable product teams to develop next-generation products or new product proof of concept
* Root cause analysis for build failures or field failures, and implement design changes accordingly
* Conduct research: stay abreast of the latest camera technologies from all the top semiconductor companies and evaluate the leading edge technologies, including sensor, lens, image SOC, and more
* Integrate EVKs to showcase new technology concepts and demos to contribute to Samsara's product roadmap
* Actively participate in sampling customer experience and improving product performance
* Work closely with product teams to manage top JDM companies to design, validate, certify, and manufacture quality products in high-volume
* Champion, role model, and embed Samsara's cultural principles (Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, Win as a Team) as we scale globally and across new offices

Minimum requirements for the role:

* 10+ years of professional industry experience in camera system development
* Proficient in camera system level modeling, simulation, data analysis, board-level schematic design, and PCB layout of camera circuits
* Experience working on CMOS image sensor technology, image signal processing pipelines, lens characterization, and module active alignment
* Experience working with camera sensor chipset, lens, or module vendors, image test instrument suppliers, JDM partners, and shipping high-volume products
* Proficient in simulation tools such as Zemax or Code V, as well as EDA tools such as Altium or Cadence
* Experience with lab instruments and equipment for designing and performing laboratory experiments for camera and other optical sensors testing and test automation
* Ability to deal with product requirements ambiguity and design trade-offs
* Bachelors or masters in Optical, Physics, Opto-electrical or similar
* Good written and verbal communication skills
* This role is based in the San Francisco Bay Area

An ideal candidate also has:

* Experience with lens simulation, tolerance analysis, and stray light analysis is a plus
* Experience with both analog and digital circuits, e.g. low noise power supply for camera module and high-speed interface such as MIPI or SerDes
* Knowledge of camera module layout strategies for material selection, stack-up, signal integrity, noise suppression, and EMI/EMC design and mitigation techniques
* Thrives in an environment that requires rapid deployment and product iteration based on customer feedback and field data
* Experience in building image labs for hardware development, characterization, validation, failure analysis, etc.
* Forward-thinking to build processes, identify opportunities, solve hardware technical problems, and a go-to person for any camera-related technical issues
