Systems engineer on Apple's Camera Systems Engineering team in Herzliya, performing systems-level analysis, simulation, and optimization of camera hardware and software. Day-to-day work involves Matlab/Python modeling of imaging systems, lab characterization, large-scale data analysis, and driving cross-functional HW/SW collaboration.
The Camera System Engineering team, in collaboration with multiple HW and SW teams, is responsible for the systems-level analysis, simulation and optimization of new camera HW and SW to achieve the best camera performance from the hardware level through to the user facing applications. The team is seeking an exceptional systems engineer with broad skills to take a leading role in the x-functional activity. The ideal candidate would have the capabilities required to perform detailed system analysis and tradeoff evaluations while also driving and collaborating with cross functional teams.
This role is highly collaborative and requires work with multiple HW and SW teams to analyze and optimize HW and SW performance. Perform system level analysis and simulation of imaging systems using Matlab and/or Python; Define and analyze lab characterization tests; Analyze large data sets from factory and / or field to gain insight into HW / SW performance and user behavior; Create and maintain specification documents and their ties to user experience on one hand and component specification on the other; Collaborate and drive cross functional teams; Manage project deliverables and schedules to meet commitments to other development teams.
Minimum Qualifications
- Detailed understanding of imaging systems & module designs (image sensors, optics, mechanics, auto-focus, optical image stabilization, assembly processes, etc).
- Familiarity with image signal processing pipelines.
- Working knowledge of imaging system simulations and evaluation of simulation results.
- Good understanding of image quality metrics and image quality evaluation.
- Expertise in system level modeling/simulation, data analysis, and image/signal processing in Matlab and/or Python.
- Experience defining performance specification from system level, through sub-module and component.
Preferred Qualifications
- Great interpersonal skills - the ability to collaborate across groups.
- Self-motivated, able to lead projects independently.
- MSc/PhD in a relevant field (EE, ME, CS, or Physics) or equivalent.
