Job details

Camera Systems Software Engineer

The Camera Systems Firmware Engineer will be responsible for developing, optimizing, and maintaining camera drivers and embedded software for Nvidia Jetson-based robotic vision systems. This role requires deep expertise in MIPI CSI camera integration, Nvidia Argus APIs, and image processing pipeline optimization, leveraging hardware acceleration for real-time robotic perception. Collaboration with hardware, perception, and robotics teams will be essential to ensure high-performance and low-latency vision processing in autonomous systems.


Responsibilities
  • Develop and maintain camera drivers and middleware for Nvidia Jetson platforms (TX2, Xavier, Orin), ensuring high-throughput, low-latency image acquisition.
  • Integrate and optimize MIPI CSI camera interfaces, managing sensor communication, initialization, tuning, and Image Signal Processing (ISP) pipelines.
  • Implement and optimize camera pipelines using Nvidia Argus APIs, leveraging both legacy and modern versions for sensor integration and processing.
  • Enhance the image processing pipeline by utilizing hardware acceleration (CUDA, TensorRT, or Jetson ISP hardware) for real-time performance improvements.
  • Develop real-time post-processing algorithms, handling sensor fusion, exposure correction, noise reduction, and multi-camera synchronization.
  • Optimize memory and data handling strategies to process high-bandwidth video streams efficiently on embedded systems.
  • Debug and optimize production-grade C++ firmware, applying multi-threading, system profiling, and performance tuning techniques.
  • Work with edge AI processing, integrating perception models with GPU acceleration or specialized hardware for intelligent vision on-device.
  • Collaborate with hardware engineers to bring up new imaging hardware, debug MIPI CSI interfaces, and fine-tune ISP configurations for various lighting conditions.
  • Ensure reliability and robustness through rigorous testing, validation frameworks, and fail-safe mechanisms for camera firmware.


Qualifications
  • Extensive experience in developing and shipping optimized, production-grade C++ software for embedded systems.
  • Strong expertise in camera driver development and sensor integration on Nvidia Jetson platforms (TX2, Xavier, Orin).
  • Hands-on experience with MIPI CSI camera interfaces, including low-level sensor initialization, ISP tuning, and frame processing.
  • Deep knowledge of Nvidia Argus libraries, including both legacy and modern implementations, for camera sensor integration and processing.
  • Understanding of image signal processing (ISP), exposure control, HDR imaging, sensor calibration, and tuning.


Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with Nvidia CUDA, TensorRT, or other hardware acceleration frameworks for high-performance vision processing.
  • Familiarity with distributed systems or remote services, particularly in multi-sensor or networked robotic applications.
  • Knowledge of optical systems and camera hardware, including lens distortion correction, image tuning, and calibration.
  • Experience integrating camera systems into SLAM, multi-sensor fusion, or AI-based perception pipelines.
