Job Description
Our team is dedicated to researching and developing computer vision and machine learning technologies by utilizing Sony's innovations in sensor technology.
As such, our focus areas include:
A) Developing signal processing and sensing systems with Sony's unique sensors, including polarization image sensors, event-based vision sensors, SWIR image sensors, and SPAD depth sensors, while, at times, also using Sony's computer graphics technologies such as simulations and renderers to support development. B) Optimizing the design of devices and signal processing from the perspectives of both hardware and software.
Ultimately, our goal is to utilize optimal design to propose original sensor devices that incorporate unique architecture with high efficiency systems.
We also conduct research and development in signal processing technologies relating to, for example, image processing and machine learning, to be implemented into new products and services.
Responsibilities
- Software, algorithm, and system development in relation to image processing, and support for practical implementation as needed.
- On our team, expect to constantly acquire new skills/expertise, and to become a reliable expert in computer vision and machine learning technologies.
- As an expert, develop key technologies to be integrated into next-generation products and services, and lead the development process as a core member of our team.
- Engage in planning, proposing research, developing themes, and taking on challenges by collaborating with R&D branches and universities overseas.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications
In addition to experience conducting self-driven research and development, possession of skills and knowledge in at least one of the following areas is required:
- Software development skills (C++, Python, deep learning frameworks, etc.).
- Experience prototyping systems for research and development in image sensing, computational photography, computer vision, etc.
- Specialized knowledge in optimization and acceleration, including systems and hardware.
