Job Title: Hardware Engineer
Location: London/Poland, Remote
Remuneration: Hourly rate £59.62
Contract Details: Fixed Term Contract, 12 months, Full Time
Come work alongside technology visionaries and research scientists to create the technology that makes VR and AR pervasive and universal. Join the adventure of a lifetime as we make science fiction real and change the world. The Cameras Architecture Team is looking for an Optical Modelling Engineer to develop and validate optical models for an end-to-end camera simulation pipeline that consists of image sensor, optics, and imaging algorithms. Your work will drive the study and validation of new camera technologies and architectures for products across different categories from Smart Glasses, AR to MR. If you are excited about learning first principles and applying your skills in bridging the gap between theoretical models and real-world performance and pushing the envelope of simulation technologies, please come have a chat with us!
Responsibilities:
* Develop and validate optical models as part of an imaging simulation pipeline to enable novel camera HW explorations, data generation, and product architecture validation.
* Partner with the internal optics and camera team to understand modeling requirements and to improve fidelity and efficiency.
* Liaison with software partners like Synopsis and Ansys to understand their implementations, limitations and find out solutions.
* Collaborate with developers of other pipeline components such as graphics renderer and sensor model to understand different implementation tradeoffs and optimize for overall performance.
* Experiment and data collection to validate modeling accuracy
* Investigate latest imaging modeling technologies to enable realistic simulation of real camera behaviors
* Research and develop novel calibration and metrology technologies.
Qualifications:
* Imaging optics design and optimization experience
* This position requires hands-on development on programmatically modeling complex lens behaviors. Scripting experience with programming languages like Python or Matlab is a must.
* Expertise on using software like Code V or Zemax for lens design or ray tracing. Preferably with knowledge on how ray tracing is implemented in these softwares.
* Knowledge of image formation process (spectrum, optics/aberrations, PSF, sensor noise, Fourier theory, sampling/aliasing) needed to successfully model and simulate complex imaging phenomena.
* Ability to work with minimal direction and manage a project independently from start to finish.
Good To Have:
* Experience developing and implementing optics design and ray tracing software like Code V and Zemax.
* Experience in modeling of imaging systems, calibration and metrology
* Experience in image quality testing of camera systems and familiar with image quality metrics and analysis (MTF/SNR).
* Familiar with image sensor and image processing algorithms
