180042 Job Overview: We are seeking a highly skilled Simulation CV/ML Engineer to join our team. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in camera and sensor simulation, machine learning (ML) infrastructure, and data generation. This role involves running and iterating on simulation pipelines, delivering datasets, and supporting ML algorithm training and evaluation. The position requires a deep understanding of camera and sensor fundamentals, ML workflows, and data handling, as well as experience with simulation tools and frameworks.

Responsibilities: Run and iterate on camera/sensor simulation pipelines to generate synthetic datasets on demand. Deliver training and evaluation data to camera architects and ML teams under tight timelines. Support ML algorithm training and evaluation using the generated synthetic data—run training jobs, produce evaluation metrics, and iterate on dataset composition based on model performance. Configure simulation scenes and sensor parameters to match customer/architect specifications. Validate and quality-check generated data before hand-off. Maintain and improve simulation tooling and dataset generation scripts. Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field. Minimum 5+ years of experience in software engineering, with a focus on ML infrastructure design. 5+ years of experience in Python and C++. Strong understanding of camera and sensor simulation fundamentals, including: Camera intrinsic/extrinsic setup and calibration. Sensor modeling: noise sources, conversion gain, quantum efficiency, read/shot noise. Basic understanding of ISP and image formation.

Experience with ML training and evaluation, including: Running ML training/evaluation workflows (PyTorch preferred). Interpreting model metrics and translating them back into dataset changes.

Proficiency in handling large-scale dataset generation, storage, and versioning. Familiarity with Linux development environments and source control. Experience building ML models and pipelines. Understanding of how camera simulations work. Previous AI experience in developing ML architectures. Preferred Qualifications:

Experience with rendering engines (Blender, Unreal, Unity) or in-house simulation frameworks. Background in optical/imaging (radiometry, PSF, MTF). Prior experience with camera/ISP tuning or perception model development. About PTR Global:
