About this role
The role is responsible for electrical design work for imaging-production and solution equipment. Products include the Cinema EOS system for film production and video creators, IP remote camera systems, shooting-support solutions, and image-enhancement systems. The work supports use cases ranging from film, commercial and television production to surveillance cameras.
Main responsibilities include electrical system and circuit design for camera-related products and the development of new use cases. The role contributes to meeting changing needs in video production, distribution and workflow, while also supporting technology development in areas such as AI utilization and automated shooting. Electrical design and evaluation may be performed within teams divided by technical domain, with opportunities to apply prior circuit-design experience and develop specialized expertise.
At least three years of professional experience in electrical design is required. Experience with power supplies, including DC/DC converters and PoE, motor control, wired or wireless networks, or video and peripheral interfaces is welcomed. Experience managing teams involved in electrical design and evaluation is also welcomed. Interest in imaging-production equipment, workflows and video distribution is desirable. The posting seeks candidates who take a positive approach to change and challenges, actively learn new knowledge and technologies, and adapt to change.
Named technical areas include electrical circuit design, power supplies, DC/DC, HDMI, USB, IEEE, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, networks, EMC, EMI, EMS, CAD, ASIC, DRAM, CPU, PCIe and MIPI.
