Career at Pioneer India

Job description

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop camera hardware systems, including optics, lenses, CMOS image sensors, and ISPs, for automotive applications (dash cameras, 360-degree systems, ADAS).
• Optimize camera performance for low-light conditions, high dynamic range (HDR), and high-resolution imaging to support vision AI use cases like object detection and lane departure warnings.
• Select and validate camera components (e.g., sensors, lenses) to meet automotive-grade requirements (AEC-Q100, ISO 26262).
• Collaborate with software teams to integrate hardware with vision AI algorithms and ensure seamless performance of image processing pipelines.
• Conduct hardware-level testing, calibration, and validation to ensure reliability, durability, and compliance with automotive standards.
• Work with OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers to define hardware specifications based on customer requirements and market needs.
• Troubleshoot and resolve hardware-related issues, providing root cause analysis and solutions for real-time bugs.
• Stay updated on emerging camera technologies (e.g., ToF sensors, IR cameras) and recommend innovations to enhance product competitiveness.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical documentation and design reviews.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Optics, or a related field.
• 8+ years of experience in camera hardware development, preferably in consumer electronics or automotive industries.
• Proven expertise in CMOS image sensor design, lens selection, and ISP tuning for high-performance imaging systems.
• Experience with automotive camera systems (e.g., ADAS, surround-view, driver monitoring) and standards like ISO 26262 or AEC-Q100.
• Proficiency in hardware design tools (e.g., Altium, Cadence) and testing equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers).
• Strong understanding of image quality metrics (e.g., SNR, dynamic range, MTF) and calibration processes.
• Familiarity with embedded systems and interfacing with SoCs (e.g., Qualcomm, NVIDIA).
• Excellent problem-solving skills and experience with customer-facing technical support or bug resolution.

Prefered Skills:

• Experience with automotive vision products, including 360-degree cameras or dash cameras.
• Knowledge of emerging technologies like LiDAR, ToF sensors, or IR cameras for automotive applications.
• Prior work with global teams or OEMs in defining product specifications based on consumer needs.
• Understanding of vision AI integration with camera hardware for real-time processing.
