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.
