Hardware, Calibration Engineer

The role

You will build calibration systems to capture the physical world accurately at scale. You will own camera and camera–IMU calibration from algorithms to production.

What you will do

• Develop camera intrinsics, multi-camera extrinsics, and camera–IMU spatial and temporal calibration.
• Build automated calibration stations, including capture software, targets, fixtures, and acceptance tests.
• Validate accuracy on independent data and real hardware, and diagnose the causes of calibration errors.
• Take calibration into production, improving accuracy, yield, and cycle time.
• Detect calibration drift and develop practical methods for recalibrating devices in use.

Required qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in camera calibration, computer vision, or robotics, including hands-on delivery of calibration for production hardware.
• Strong understanding of camera models, multi-view geometry, and nonlinear optimization.
• Experience implementing calibration algorithms.
• Strong C++ and Python skills, with practical use of OpenCV and optimization tools such as Ceres.
• Experience with wide-angle or fisheye cameras, camera–IMU alignment, time offsets, and rolling-shutter effects.
• Experience building production calibration stations and verifying accuracy beyond the calibration dataset.

Nice to have

• Experience with visual-inertial odometry, SLAM, or online recalibration.

Before you apply

• We may use AI-assisted tools to help evaluate applications against the requirements of this role.
