Req ID 90816 | Gbl Elec HQ - Farmington Hills, United States Capri USA Group, Inc.

Job Description

Join a growing Camera team where Image Signal Processing (ISP) is a direct lever for differentiated ADAS performance and customer value. You will own the path from raw sensor data to stable, perception-optimized images, turning complex real-world scenes and customer requirements into production-ready camera behavior that helps computer vision functions make accurate, reliable decisions.This position is part of ZF’s ADAS & HPC business, which is entering an exciting new phase of growth and transformation within the advanced automotive technology space. The business unit is planned for divestiture, creating a unique opportunity to help shape the future of next-generation driver assistance and high-performance computing technologies.

What you can look forward to as Senior Engineer- Image Signal Processing/Camera Function:

• Tune ISP modules including auto exposure, auto white balance, HDR/WDR, demosaicing, noise reduction and sharpening for ADAS perception performance.

• Develop scenario-based tuning profiles for daylight, night, low-light and high-dynamic-range driving conditions.

• Improve image clarity, temporal stability and consistency so downstream perception algorithms can extract dependable features.

• Align camera behavior with ADAS use cases such as lane detection, object detection and traffic sign recognition.

• Evaluate ISP changes through algorithm-in-the-loop testing to measure impact on perception accuracy, robustness and false-positive/false-negative behavior.

• Investigate image and perception failures using captured imagery, logs, measurements and debugging tools, then drive root-cause resolution.

• Balance image quality, latency, memory, throughput and compute efficiency across embedded automotive platforms, sensors and driving scenarios.

• Collaborate with computer vision, sensor, optics, hardware, embedded software, sensor-fusion, application engineering and customer-facing teams to deliver production-ready ISP configurations and support acquisition, demonstrations, safety activities and series development.

Your Profile as Senior Engineer- Image Signal Processing/Camera Function:

• 7+ years of relevant experience in image signal processing and ADAS or computer-vision functions.

• Bachelor's in optical, electrical or computer engineering, or an equivalent combination of education and directly relevant experience.

• Deep understanding of the ISP pipeline: AE, AWB, HDR/WDR, demosaicing, noise reduction, sharpening and related artifacts.

• Hands-on experience tuning ISP functions for machine perception or ADAS use cases.

• Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems and Python for analysis or prototyping.

• Experience with OpenCV, MATLAB or comparable image-processing tools.

• Working knowledge of camera sensors, optics, noise, motion blur, distortion and image-quality trade-offs.

• Demonstrated root-cause analysis across the camera, ISP, perception and ADAS chain.

• Bachelor's in optical, electrical or computer engineering, or an equivalent combination of education and directly relevant experience.

What We Offer:

• A supportive collaborative team environment

• Annual Incentive Plan

• Paid Vacation

• Personal Time

• 401k Plan

• Health Care Benefits

• Paid Holidays

• A strong diversity culture

• Supportive Employee Groups and community outreach activities
