Job Description:
Minimum qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical
Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or a
specialized field (e.g., Optics, Sensors, Audio/DSP, etc.), or
equivalent practical experience. 2 years of experience in control
systems, actuator control, firmware development, or system
validation. Preferred qualifications: Master's degree or PhD in
Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics. Experience with
Voice Coil Motor (VCM) managing and sensing technologies.
Experience with linear and nonlinear control system design
utilizing integrated driver ICs. About the job As a Camera Controls
Systems Engineer, you will lead the architectural definition and
mathematical modeling of advanced actuator control systems to
ensure industry-leading OIS performance. Your role focuses on the
end-to-end system analysis, from defining high-level hardware
specifications and calibration strategies to optimizing the complex
interplay between mechanical, optical, and thermal constraints. You
will serve as the primary expert in characterizing system-level
behavior, managing root-cause analysis for control failures, and
mitigating parasitic vibrations or structural resonances. Through
close collaboration with hardware, module, reliability, and
software teams, you will evaluate emerging actuator technologies
and integrate them into robust, high-performance camera
architectures. The US base salary range for this full-time position
is $132,000-$189,000 bonus equity benefits. Our salary ranges are
determined by role, level, and location. Within the range,
individual pay is determined by work location and additional

Responsibilities Develop high-performance control algorithms and
simulation models for Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) systems.
Define technical specifications for actuators (VCA/SMA), Hall
sensors, and gyroscopes to ensure seamless integration with the
camera module. Conduct characterization and tuning of OIS
suppression across various vibration frequencies to meet image
quality standards. Partner with mechanical, firmware, and software
teams to synchronize hardware stabilization with Electronic Image
Stabilization (EIS) for smooth video capture.
