Senior Camera Vision Specialist

At Orqa, we’re building technology that allows humans and machines to see the world like never before. We bring together engineers, creators, and innovators who push the boundaries of what’s possible - from cutting-edge FPV systems to advanced Remote Reality solutions, and toward the next generation of robotics. And behind every great technology, there’s great organization.

As a Camera Vision Specialist, you will work at the intersection of hardware, firmware, and software — collaborating across multidisciplinary teams to deliver high‑quality real‑time camera systems for drone applications, both for operator viewing and automated vision tasks.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

• Define imaging requirements for EO and IR cameras and evaluate sensors (visible and thermal) and lenses for performance, environmental conditions, and mission needs

• Design and tune image signal processing (ISP) pipelines to achieve optimal image quality, low latency, dynamic range control, noise reduction, and color/thermal calibration

• Integrate and optimize algorithms (including CNN and deep learning methods) for correcting image artifacts, enhancing quality, object detection, and other computer vision tasks relevant to drone payloads

• Work with embedded engineers on firmware, camera drivers (e.g., MIPI CSI‑2), and ISP controls; ensure real‑time performance on platforms such as NVIDIA Jetson, ARM SoCs, or FPGAs

• Develop test plans, calibrate sensors and optics, and validate full imaging system performance in both lab and field conditions

• Partner with hardware, software, controls, gimbal, and flight‑control teams to integrate and optimize the camera system for complete UAV solutions

WHAT WE EXPECT:

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Optical Engineering, Computer Vision, or related field

• 7+ years of experience

• Deep expertise in EO/IR camera systems, imaging pipelines, sensor/optics trade‑offs, and advanced vision/CNN algorithm integration

• Proven leadership in cross‑disciplinary projects and mentoring less experienced engineers

• Practical experience with imaging sensors (EO/IR), optics, and ISP pipelines

• Strong programming skills (C/C++ and/or Python)

• Knowledge of embedded systems, real‑time data processing, and standard vision frameworks (OpenCV, TensorFlow, PyTorch)

• Understanding of camera calibration, metrics, and quality evaluation

BONUS:

• Experience with drone/UAV integrations and low‑latency video pipelines

• Familiarity with libcamera, camera calibration toolkits, or embedded vision accelerators

• Understanding of communication protocols (MIPI, LVDS) relevant to camera systems
