Develop electrical hardware, image sensors, FPGA, firmware and AI-based image processing for professional video cameras, including cinema, broadcast, IP remote and surveillance products. Collaborate with mechanical, software, evaluation, production and overseas teams.
About this role
This role supports the mechanical design and development of Canon remote camera system products. The engineer works with firmware and electrical design, business, evaluation, and production departments throughout product development.
Main duties include mechanical design and drawing creation using 3D-CAD, prototype evaluation, and activities required to move products toward mass production. The work also extends beyond mechanical design to related technical areas such as actuator-based drive control. Additional responsibilities include investigating new elemental technologies that may become future core capabilities and proposing patents for new technologies.
Required qualifications include practical knowledge of mechanical design and experience designing mechanical systems with 3D-CAD, specifically NX or an equivalent CAD system. Experience designing actuator-driven mechanisms and experience with simulation using MATLAB/Simulink are welcomed. Related technical areas named in the posting include enclosure design, drive mechanisms, actuator control, thermal design, quiet design, resonance-reduction design, MATLAB/Simulink, and circuit-board design.
The products are remote camera systems used or expected to be used in video production settings including broadcasting, film production, live events, and sports broadcasting. Product development addresses requirements such as smaller and lighter products, smooth and high-speed movement, reduced noise, and expanded functionality. Engineers are expected to incorporate needs and feedback from video-production professionals into product improvements.
The position is full-time and based at Canon's headquarters in Shimomaruko, Ota-ku, Tokyo. Working hours are 8:30–17:00, or 8:00–16:30 depending on the site. Overtime allowances are paid separately except when hired as a supervisor. Initial compensation is determined according to experience, ability, and company rules; salary is listed as JPY 5.3–8.7 million annually. Salary increases are once a year and bonuses are paid twice a year. The position includes a five-day workweek in principle on Saturdays and Sundays, public holidays, year-end and New Year holidays, a May holiday period, summer leave, 125 annual holidays, paid leave, transportation expenses, social insurance, retirement benefits, corporate pension, savings programs, employee stock ownership, education programs, and other listed welfare benefits.
