Sr. Image Quality Tuning Engineer

Who we are Samsara (NYSE: IOT) is the pioneer of the Connected Operations™ Cloud, which is a platform that enables organizations that depend on physical operations to harness Internet of Things (IoT) data to develop actionable insights and improve their operations. At Samsara, we are helping improve the safety, efficiency and sustainability of the physical operations that power our global economy. Representing more than 40% of global GDP, these industries are the infrastructure of our planet, including agriculture, construction, field services, transportation, and manufacturing — and we are excited to help digitally transform their operations at scale. Working at Samsara means you’ll help define the future of physical operations and be on a team that’s shaping an exciting array of product solutions, including Video-Based Safety, Vehicle Telematics, Apps and Driver Workflows, and Equipment Monitoring. As part of a recently public company, you’ll have the autonomy and support to make an impact as we build for the long term. About the role We’re looking for a Senior Image Quality Tuning engineer to join our team. In the day to day, you will optimize the ISP pipeline for both road and cabin views through a data-driven approach, ensuring image stability and clarity in high-motion and high-vibration environments. You don't just find the bugs; you write the scripts to identify them and then modify the ISP parameters to fix them. We have a tremendous amount of telemetry and access to customers that help guide our design process. You will work directly with our customers to ensure we lead the industry in our product design. We run a collaborative process working closely with Product Management, EE, PD, FW, EPM, NPI, and Hardware leadership to make excellent tradeoffs and choices. Throughout this process, you’ll share your expertise with other engineers. The US and Taiwan IQ teams are supported by the Supply Chain team, laboratories, JDM design resources, and a growing supply base. You will work closely with these internal and external partners to achieve our objectives. This role is based in our Taipei office, and it is a hybrid position required to office as needed. This position requires travel up to 25% of the time and proximity to an international airport. Relocation will not be provided In this role, you will: ISP Tuning Optimization: Assist the Lead Architect in tuning key ISP blocks (Auto Exposure, Noise Reduction, Sharpening, and Color Mapping) for both RGB and RGBIR sensors. Optimize Auto-Exposure (AE) weighting and shutter-speed priorities to minimize motion blur and "jello effect" during vehicle vibration. Stabilization EIS Tuning: Actively tune Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) and gyro-sensor integration to maintain video fluidity and frame-to-frame consistency under various road surface conditions. Automation Development: Develop Python/MATLAB scripts to extract objective metrics (MTF, SNR, Dynamic Range) from massive field-drive datasets. Tuning Toolchain Management: Build and maintain internal tools to visualize ISP parameter changes, ensuring that tuning "drops" are documented and version-controlled. Include visualization for stabilization performance and motion-vector consistency to ensure tuning "drops" are documented. Regression Analysis (Dynamic Static): Own the "Version-to-Version" IQ database. Ensure that fixing a DMS issue doesn't accidentally degrade stabilization or license plate clarity during high-speed driving. Report Generation: Automate IQ report generation. Include "Vibration Robustness" scores in the summaries to provide the Lead Architect with a complete picture of performance in real-world driving. Manage: We bolster our internal development team with top JDM companies to design, validate, certify and manufacture quality products, certification labs and other external consultants.
