Senior Engineer - Image Signal Processing (ISP)/Camera Function

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

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.

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.
