What you'll work on::
• Design and implement novel computational photography algorithms.
• Work closely with the hardware team to design new camera products.
• Transfer technology to product groups and see your ideas shipped in product.

Who we're looking for::
• Masters degree and 4 years of experience, or PhD in EE/CS.
• Excellent knowledge of theory and practice of image processing, computer vision, computational photography.
