Embedded Engineer - Camera Software - hybrid SF Bay Area

Salary$170,000-$215,000 / yearAbout This Role Our client is building the next generation of night vision using AI. Backed by top-tier investors, they are developing a new class of low-light cameras that replace traditional night-vision hardware with advanced algorithms.Their system embeds a deep learning model directly on an edge AI chip, enabling a compact, one-cubic-inch camera to reconstruct clear imagery in extremely low-light conditions (as dark as 0.1 millilux). Running at 90 FPS while consuming just one watt, this technology allows robots, drones, autonomous vehicles, and head-mounted systems to operate in total darkness. Their mission is to enable machines—and eventually people—to see in the dark.The Role Our client is seeking a highly motivated Embedded Engineer to join their growing team.
