Product Image Engineer, Thermal and Visual Cameras, Lund

Job Title

Product Image Engineer, Thermal and Visual Cameras, Lund

Job Description

Do you want to be part of a team developing new products and features using cutting edge technologies? Now you have the opportunity to work as Product Imaging Engineer and develop the world's best surveillance cameras!

Who is your future team?
Working together in a R&D team, you will be a part of how our new Thermal and visual cameras come to life. We are responsible for the image quality in a wide range of speciality products. (Thermal, bi-spectral, explosion-safe, corner cameras and many more).

The work takes place in small project teams where you collaborate closely with many different disciplines such as firmware, mechanics, electronics and production technology. As an Image Engineer at Axis, you will play an essential part in the development of our new products.

You will work together in teams of dedicated engineers, to solve image related challenges in our network video products. We have very close co-operation, and a friendly team-spirit at Axis, ensuring an agile development of market-leading products. We strongly believe in knowledge sharing and insights. It’s a great part of our culture!

What will you do?
As an Image Engineer at Axis you will work in cross functional teams to develop new cameras from a concept phase to a complete product. Your responsibility will be to optimize the image in regards to optics, image sensors and signal processing. It will also require developing accurate calibration procedures and making sure that our image quality is state-of-the-art. The position of Image Engineer is very broad, and you will cooperate with many different roles and organizations at Axis.

This cover implementing and adapting software for the camera, developing production tuning and testing functionality as well as analyzing test data to optimize performance. One day you find yourself working closely with mechanical engineers to secure optimum conditions for high precision optics and the next day you discuss an embedded SW module with the firmware engineers. Later that week you might be in a meeting with a sensor supplier to discuss some artefacts you saw while testing the camera in the image lab. The work involves an exciting combination of theoretical and practical problem solving where you often find yourself in the centre of action, having a direct impact on the current and on the future generations of the product.

Your main tasks will be:

• Optimizing image quality in the projects that develop new cameras. This is done using exposure and focus algorithms and noise filtering.
• Participating and contributing to the choice of optics and image sensors. This is done in cooperation with the mechanics and electronics teams as well as external partners.
• Testing cameras, optics and thermal sensors during development in the lab, but also in real environments both indoor and outdoor.
• Developing prototypes, in cooperation with hardware and mechanics engineers, for the purpose of testing and optimizing the image.
• Assisting in development of the camera firmware.
• Developing and improving our calibration of our image system.

Who are we looking for?
You are curious and passionate about technology, love challenges and enjoy solving them in a team-focused atmosphere. We also believe that you have a personal drive and are inspired by working in an environment of openness, creativity, trust, commitment, playfulness, and encouragement. As Axis values teamwork it is important that you contribute with good spirit and welcome the agile working methodologies used in our projects.

We'd love to hear if you have any combination of these skills:

• An engineering master’s degree in physics, nano, mathematics engineering, computer science, electrical engineering or equivalent.
• Knowledge in optics and lenses, image sensors, IR filters and IR diodes.
• Experience of C and/or C++.
• Experience of programming in Python.
• Development of software in a Linux environment.
• Knowledge of image processing algorithms.
• Advanced mathematics and statistics.
   

What Axis has to offer

We are a world leader in network video, where cutting-edge technology meets global impact. Here, you’ll contribute to meaningful projects that shape the future of security and surveillance — developing solutions used worldwide. As a fast-growing company, we offer exciting career opportunities. You’ll grow professionally through continuous learning, supported by a collaborative team that values creativity, innovation, and work-life balance.
