Camera ISP/Driver Engineer
About The Position
Phantom AI supplies ADAS cameras to global automotive manufacturers. We're looking for a Camera ISP/Driver Engineer to help us tune and test automotive image sensors for ADAS. As part of the Phantom Camera team, you'll characterize ADAS optics and imaging, define the requirements, and implement them through CMOS control and ISP tuning. Internally, you'll work alongside our DL, Vision Algorithm, Functional Safety, and Systems teams. Externally, you'll engage directly with global OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers. Our camera team is expanding, and much of what we do is still being built. You'll help shape the pipelines, evaluation methods, and tuning practices that will become the team's standards. You'll gain hands-on experience across the full breadth of automotive imaging (optics, image sensors, ISP, drivers, and systems), working shoulder-to-shoulder with senior engineers. You'll also see mass-production processes at global OEMs firsthand. If you learn fast, don't mind moving between the lab and the vehicle, and can stay with hard problems until you crack them, we want to hear from you.
