Summary:

** We are seeking a dynamic and forward-thinking Systems Engineer to join our Fingerprint Sensor team and drive the development of innovative biometric solutions for next-generation mobile devices. Our mission is to deliver high-performance, high-volume solutions that push the boundaries of mobile security and user experience.  The ideal candidate will possess strong expertise in system engineering, with a proven ability to architect and develop advanced fingerprint sensing technologies.

This role requires deep involvement in system-level analysis, optimization, and validation to achieve best-in-class performance, reliability, and seamless integration. You will also play a key role in optimizing hardware/software interfaces and drive schemes, developing and validating algorithms, and characterizing performance across edge and corner cases through firmware definition and refinement.  
*
* Key Responsibilities:

*
* * Architect and define end-to-end system solutions for next-generation fingerprint sensing technologies.
* Define system integration requirements across diverse sensor applications and product platforms.
* Optimize hardware/software interfaces and drive schemes to enhance overall system performance and efficiency.
* Lead algorithm development and validation by integrating sensor physics with advanced data analysis to overcome limitations in existing sensor modules, improving accuracy, robustness, and performance.
* Develop hardware specifications for ASICs, sensors, and module-level components.
* Characterize and optimize system performance under edge and corner conditions through firmware development, testing, and iteration.
* Perform system-level verification and validation to ensure reliability, scalability, and production readiness.
* Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (hardware, software, firmware, and product engineering) to enable successful integration into high-volume consumer products.
* Prepare clear technical documentation, design descriptions, and test materials for internal stakeholders and external partners.
* Supports design reviews for platform development; leads evaluation of system performance based on constraints and capabilities of design; works with multiple groups outside domain to support design integrity.
* Independently identifies issues or patterns of issues related to systems-level software and hardware design and the implications for work within and across teams; makes overall recommendations for new technologies and to address ambiguous issues, design architectures, generate solutions, and develop models, code, and simulations.
*
* Preferred Qualifications:

*
* * Master’s degree or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
* 7+ years of Mixed Signal Design and Systems Engineering or related work experience.
* Experience with algorithm development, validation, and system‐level performance characterization.
* Familiarity with ASIC specifications, sensor physics, or module‐level design.
* Experience in systems engineering, preferably with sensors and integrated modules
* Proven ability to define architecture and integrate systems into commercial products.
* Strong analytical and problem‐solving abilities with attention to performance in edge cases.
* Experience with CMOS sensor design with TFT/LTPS technologies is a plus
* Strong understanding of hardware/software interaction, including FW development and HW/SW co‐optimization.
* Hands-on…
