Introduction to the job
We are looking for a highly skilled Senior Algorithm Engineer with deepexpertisein image processing and computer vision who can act as a senior individual contributor and drive algorithm development for complex industrial imaging applications.
This role focuses on technical ownership rather than people management. The ideal candidate has experience tackling challenging imaging problemssuch as fingerprint recognition optical inspection PCB defect detection machine vision or autonomous driving perceptionandis capable of shapingalgorithm direction collaborating across domains and delivering productionlevel solutions.
Experience with E-Beam is not. We value strong algorithmic thinking industrial problemsolving ability and the capability to influence technical outcomes.
Work model: Hybrid (2 WFH 3 onsite days per week)
Role and responsibilities
Take technical ownership in developing advanced image processing and computer vision algorithms for industrial applications.
Drive algorithm development across the full lifecycle: prototyping validation optimization deployment and long-term maintenance.
Address complex imaging challenges in realworld environments ensuring robustness accuracy and performance.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (software hardware SEM application customer teams) to define requirements and translate them into clear algorithm specifications and architecture.
Produce highlevel design documents decision records and algorithm specifications.
Engage in technical discussions with customers and global stakeholders to understand use cases and propose algorithmic solutions.
Conduct code reviews model reviews and performance optimization in C/Linux environments.
Troubleshoot algorithm behaviors integration issues or performance bottlenecks.
Required Qualifications
Masters degree or above in Computer Science Electrical Engineering or related fields.
PhD is considered equivalent to 56 years of industry experience.
8 years of experience in image processing computer vision pattern recognition or related algorithm development.
Demonstrated experience in complex industrial imaging such as: Fingerprint recognition/Optical inspection (AOI)/PCB defect detection/Machine vision/Autonomous driving perception
Strong proficiency in C and solid development experience in Linux environments.
Proven ability to act as a senior individual contributor and drive technical direction without formal people management responsibilities.
Effective communication skills for working with cross-regional teams including regular meetings with US stakeholders (mostly during daytime; occasional early 07:30 calls).
Preferred Qualifications
Deep learning experience applied to industrial imaging: Feature extraction correlation matching/Defect inspection/Image quality enhancement/Image alignment/CNN / GAN / Transformerbased models
Familiarity with performance optimization: SIMD CUDA OpenCL embedded acceleration or system-level optimization.
Experience deploying algorithms to production environments and improving robustness stability and performance over product lifecycle.
Skills
Strong analytical and problemsolving ability for tackling ambiguous and complex imaging scenarios.
Clear and structured communication skills for crossfunctional collaboration.
High level of selfdiscipline ownership and ability to drive tasks independently.
Ability to influence technical decisions without direct people management responsibilities.
