About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Define camera architectures and design principles covering optics, image sensors, image quality, processing, interfaces, calibration, diagnostics, environmental robustness, packaging, safety, cybersecurity, manufacturability, and cost
  • Evaluate camera performance across perception systems, image quality, latency, field of view, dynamic range, synchronization, and operating conditions
  • Shape camera sourcing, partner, and industrialization strategies, including production test, calibration, quality controls, cost, and field performance
  • Govern technology roadmaps and lead advanced-development projects from feasibility through validated recommendations and transition to product development
  • Coach Lead Design Responsible Engineers and technical specialists
  • Build reusable standards, models, templates, and engineering methods
  • Establish reusable camera architectures and design guidance across vehicle programs
  • Define traceable camera and interface requirements aligned with perception, vehicle, safety, validation, and supplier needs
  • Develop camera models and performance methods for early architecture decisions and risk reduction
  • Strengthen technical-review discipline and accelerate issue closure
  • Develop camera ownership, sourcing, and industrialization strategies
  • Deliver advanced projects with reusable technical outcomes
  • Balance near-term program execution with long-term technology and platform development
