About this role
This role researches and develops AI and computer-vision technologies for imaging products and application software. Responsibilities include fundamental research into technologies such as object detection and segmentation; improving autofocus, automated shooting and tracking functions; and implementing and evaluating the resulting technologies.

The position is assigned to the First Development Section in the Second Development Department of the Imaging Products Division. The group includes specialists in AI/CV, subject tracking and automated camera functions. The team works with overseas customers, overseas subsidiaries and partner companies on joint development.
