Building The Next Generation of Night Vision Devices
Deepnight is seeking an electrical engineer. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in display and camera sensor integration, with expertise in MIPI connections, board design, and layout. This role requires a hands-on approach to hardware development, including low-level firmware implementation and embedded debugging using various test equipment.
**About us:** Deepnight builds AI-powered vision systems that enable humans and machines to see in near-total darkness. We have developed a neural network that achieves performance on par with traditional military night vision, but embedded directly into commodity CMOS cameras. We are now vertically integrating - designing and manufacturing complete hardware products around our AI model to push the limits of low-light imaging. Our work spans AI research, optics, sensors, and embedded systems.
**Responsibilities:** * Design, develop, and test electrical systems for displays and camera sensors. * Work extensively with MIPI interfaces for high-speed data transfer. * Lead board design and layout activities, ensuring signal integrity and power efficiency. * Collaborate with firmware engineers to implement low-level firmware for display and camera sensor control. * Perform embedded debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other test equipment to diagnose and resolve hardware issues. * Document design specifications, test plans, and validation reports. * Work effectively within a cross-functional team, communicating technical information clearly and concisely.
**Qualifications:** * Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field. * 3+ years of experience in electrical engineering with a focus on display and camera sensor integration. * Proven experience with MIPI D-PHY/C-PHY connections. * Strong proficiency in PCB design tools. * Experience with board layout and routing for complex digital and analog circuits. * Proficient in embedded debugging techniques and tools. * Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes for signal integrity analysis and debugging.
**Preferred Qualifications:** * Experience with image processing pipelines. * Knowledge of various display technologies (e.g., LCD, OLED). * Familiarity with embedded operating systems. * Experience with high-speed serial interfaces beyond I2C or I3C.
