System Performance Engineer

Every camera and sensing system we ship is used, every day, by hundreds of millions of people who simply expect it to work. Ensuring our systems are worthy of that expectation is this team's goal. We challenge products through the physical world to prove it, and to feed real-world evidence back into system design - measuring and analyzing the performance of multi-disciplinary optical sensing systems. This role is the analytical core of that work. You will define what we measure and why, mine large volumes of measurement data for the effect that actually matters, and take a question that has never been answered to a defensible answer. It is highly collaborative: you will work directly with module, optics, algorithm and system teams, and your conclusions will be the basis of their decisions. You will work alongside our lead system engineer as a peer, with problems allocated between you according to where the issue actually sits. We are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys digging into data until it gives up what it knows, and who wants to take that on with us.
Responsibilities
Own the characterization of system performance end to end - from risk and failure mode mapping through methodology definition, execution, analysis and reporting
Define metrics, testing & measurement methodology
Mine large data sets to separate isolate performance root causes
Correlate physical measurement to human perception - where the HW meets the user
Build the analysis capability the work requires - pipelines, tooling methods
Present and defend findings to module, optics, algorithm and system teams
