## About the role

You will own the full camera system of our wearable — from sensor selection and optical design, through image processing and compression, to multi-camera capture, and streaming. Our first device carries multiple image sensors arranged around the head to deliver near-360° spatial coverage on a constrained MCU using a multiplexed capture architecture, with a clear path to a more capable image-processing pipeline and higher-end sensors as we scale.

## What they're looking for

- Must-Haves
- 10+ years of camera engineering, with at least one shipped consumer product (smartphone, wearable, action camera, AR/VR, or comparable) where you owned the camera subsystem
- Deep expertise in image sensor architectures, sensor interfaces (parallel and high-speed serial), and image-processing pipelines
- Demonstrated optical design experience for compact consumer products — lens selection, FOV tuning, optical stack, AR coating
- Hands-on experience characterizing and tuning image quality (exposure, white balance, color, low-light, dynamic range) using structured test environments
- Direct experience driving camera component selection and benchmarking with second-source planning
