About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Senior Camera Bring-up Engineer to join our Advanced Engineering BSP team. This hands-on role will lead the integration, bring-up, and validation of automotive camera modules on advanced SoC platforms.

You will own camera integration from hardware review through validated first-frame capture, working with YUV422 and RAW (Bayer and monochrome) sensors over MIPI CSI-2 and GMSL/FPD-Link SerDes interfaces. The ideal candidate has solid embedded software skills, hardware debugging experience, and the ability to independently drive complex camera integration efforts.

Key Responsibilities

- Lead end-to-end camera bring-up, from power, clock, reset, and I2C configuration through SerDes link lock and verified CSI-2 pixel capture.
- Integrate and validate YUV422 cameras and RAW Bayer/monochrome sensors.
- Develop and maintain sensor drivers, V4L2 sub-device drivers, device-tree configurations, and SerDes software.
- Debug camera issues across sensor, ISP, SerDes, MIPI PHY, CSI-2 receiver, and SoC software layers.
- Validate pixel formats, data integrity, image quality, and long-duration system stability.
- Use oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers for hardware-level troubleshooting.
- Support Android Automotive camera integration, including Camera HAL, EVS, and CTS/VTS testing.
- Collaborate with hardware teams, SoC vendors, sensor suppliers, and SerDes vendors.
- Develop reusable bring-up procedures, validation tools, and technical documentation.

Required Qualifications

- BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
- 5+ years of embedded Linux, Android, or QNX BSP development.




- Demonstrated hands-on experience bringing up both YUV422 and RAW (Bayer or monochrome) cameras to validated first frame.
- Strong understanding of MIPI CSI-2, D-PHY, pixel formats, data types, virtual channels, and ECC/CRC.
- Experience with GMSL2/3 or FPD-Link III/IV SerDes camera interfaces.
- Strong C/C++ and Python programming skills.
- Linux kernel driver experience, including V4L2, media controller, and device tree, or equivalent SoC camera framework experience.
- Ability to read schematics and debug hardware using oscilloscopes and logic/protocol analyzers.
- Strong problem-solving, technical documentation, and cross-functional communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

- Experience with Qualcomm automotive camera platforms (CSID, IFE, RDI, QCX) or NVIDIA, NXP, TI, or Renesas SoCs.
- Automotive camera experience, including surround-view, rear-view, DMS, or OMS applications.
- Experience with Android Automotive Camera HAL and EVS.
- Knowledge of HDR, exposure/gain control, image tuning, and monochrome NIR cameras.
- Familiarity with ISO 26262 and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) validation.

What Success Looks Like

- First 90 Days: Successfully bring up a YUV422 camera on the target platform and establish a repeatable bring-up process.
- 6 Months: Independently complete a RAW camera bring-up with exposure/gain control and stability validation.
- 12 Months: Lead camera integration for new platforms or sensor families while delivering reusable drivers, tools, and technical guidance.

The Ideal Candidate: A hands-on camera engineering expert who can independently bring up both YUV422 and RAW cameras, troubleshoot complex hardware/software integration issues, and help advance automotive camera platform development.
