The successful candidate will be responsible for end-to-end development of color processing algorithms within the Snapdragon ISP pipeline. This includes algorithm design, tuning, validation, and close collaboration with system, sensor, hardware, and IQ teams to deliver production-ready automotive imaging solutions. 

This role requires deep expertise in image processing with a strong focus on color science, hands-on ISP algorithm development experience, and the ability to balance image quality, performance, and hardware efficiency. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Design, implement, and optimize color processing algorithms for Gen6 ISP platforms 

• Develop and maintain core ISP color modules, including but not limited to:  

• Auto White Balance (AWB) 

• Color Correction Matrix (CCM) 

• Color Space Conversion (CSC) 

• Gamma & Tone Curve Processing 

• 3D Color Look-Up Table (3D LUT) 

• Color Gamut Mapping 

• Skin Tone Preservation / Enhancement 

• Perform color tuning and evaluation using objective metrics and subjective image quality assessment 

• Prototype, evaluate, and validate algorithms on embedded ISP hardware 

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (camera system, sensor, optics, hardware, and validation teams) to integrate and release ISP color solutions 

• Balance color accuracy, stability, latency, and power efficiency 

Minimum Qualifications 

• 3+ years of industry experience in image processing or ISP algorithm development 

• Strong background in color processing and image signal processing fundamentals 

• Hands-on development experience with C/C++ (Python experience for prototyping or analysis is a plus) 

• Solid understanding of color science concepts (color spaces, color transforms, tone curves, white balance) 

• Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills 

Preferred Qualifications 

• Experience with ISP color pipelines and real-world tuning workflows 

• Experience in mobile camera systems, imaging applications 

• Knowledge of camera sensors, optics, and sensor characterization affecting color behavior 

• Experience with HDR color processing and cross-illumination color consistency 

• Familiarity with embedded systems and hardware-accelerated ISP architectures 

Educational Requirements 

• Required: Bachelor’s degree with 3+ years of relevant industry experience 

• Preferred: Master’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
