You will:

• Implement and optimize image processing and video codec algorithms on embedded systems including DSP, NPU, VPU, and CPU
• Work closely with computer vision teams to translate high-level algorithms into optimized embedded SW
• Work with novel sensors developed by our image sensor engineers
• Develop software models of embedded DSP operations to guide algorithm development
• Coordinate developments within a multi-cultural work environment that spans engineering sites from Japan, Europe, and North America across the Sony Group organization

You should have:

• MSc or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, … or surprise us with a background that we did not think of yet!

• Interest in machine learning and computer vision
• Proficiency in languages such as C/C++ and Python
• Confident communication skills and fluency in English
• Curiosity to actively learn and ask questions

You can set yourself apart if you have any of the following:

• Experience with compiler optimization flags and techniques (e.g., loop vectorization, instruction reordering)
• Experience with performance profiling tools
• Knowledge of memory access patterns to reduce latency and improve throughput
• Knowledge of power-saving techniques in DSP core and peripherals
• Understanding of the DSP architecture concepts (e.g., instruction set, pipeline structure, memory hierarchy, SIMD)
• Familiarity with popular DSP architectures (e.g. Qualcomm Hexagon NPU, TI C6000, etc.)
• Experience VPUs or video codec standards (e.g., H.264, H.265)
• Knowledge of modern software development methodologies and principles, such as CI/CD, containers, SOLID, etc.
• Familiarity with Verilog or VHDL
