Principal Camera & Sensor Applications Engineer

• Lead initial technical engagements to understand customer imaging, sensing, and embedded-AI use cases, system architectures, and product constraints
• Translate customer needs into measurable requirements for image quality, AI performance, latency, power, reliability, interfaces, and system cost
• Define and develop customer demonstrations, evaluation kits, reference designs, and proof-of-concept systems integrating sensors with Mythic technology
• Support customers through technical evaluation, system integration, troubleshooting, and design-in
• Serve as the sensor and camera-system subject-matter expert across automotive, robotics, medical, consumer, and industrial applications
• Translate system and customer requirements into MRDs, PRDs, functional specifications, and prioritized engineering requirements
• Work with silicon, hardware, software, and AI teams to assess feasibility, identify capability gaps, and guide product-roadmap decisions
• Define system-level validation plans and success criteria covering image quality, AI accuracy, latency, power, reliability, and overall customer experience
• Close the loop between customer needs and the Gen2 roadmap

• 10+ years in camera systems, imaging, or embedded vision, including senior technical or team leadership
• Deep expertise across the imaging signal chain: image sensors, optics, ISP, tuning and calibration, and image-quality measurement
• Demonstrated success taking camera or vision systems from architecture and prototype through validation and volume production
• Strong customer-facing technical skills, including evaluations, integration support, and troubleshooting with external engineering teams
• Ability to author functional specifications, MRDs/PRDs, and prioritized requirements
• Cross-functional fluency with silicon, hardware, firmware, software, and AI teams
• Preferred:
  Experience deploying vision models on embedded or specialized AI accelerators; familiarity with edge AI, SoC integration, or compute-in-memory architectures
• Preferred:
  Background spanning two or more of Automotive (ADAS/in-cabin), Robotics, Medical, Consumer, and Industrial imaging
• Preferred:
  Hands-on development of reference designs, evaluation kits, or proof-of-concept camera systems
• Preferred:
  Semiconductor-side experience with image sensors or ISP product definition

Demonstrates deep expertise in camera systems and imaging signal chains, with a strong ability to translate customer needs into measurable requirements and functional specifications.
