Job description

At Meta, we're building cutting-edge camera systems and algorithms that enable high-quality media capture and AI features. We're a team of engineers developing and shipping innovative hardware, software, and content that push the boundaries of what's possible in AR, VR, and MR products. As a Camera Software Engineer, you'll drive the architecture, development, and productization of end-to-end camera pipelines across our devices. You'll own complex, ambiguous technical problems spanning on-device perception, image quality, ISP pipelines, and sensor calibration, while partnering across hardware, algorithms, and product teams to ship high-quality camera experiences at scale.
Software Engineer, Camera Systems Responsibilities:
  • Design and develop end-to-end camera pipelines and features for AR/VR and wearable camera devices
  • Research, design, implement, and verify complex camera systems and HW/FW tasks, including AI sensing, ISP, 3A, IQ algorithms, and IQ tuning tools
  • Develop platform-agnostic algorithms that scale across variable hardware and product configurations
  • Optimize and drive improvements in performance, latency, and power efficiency across the full camera stack
  • Ensure that quality, system performance, latency, and power metrics are met
  • Partner directly with sensors, algorithms, and IQ teams to ship performant, reliable features across the full camera system

Minimum Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
  • 7+ years software development experience in industry settings or PhD with 4+ years of experience
  • 3+ years relevant camera software engineering experience in industry settings
  • Experience developing and debugging in C/C++
  • Experience leading large or complex projects, defined goals and delivered milestones by leading teams

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience building camera systems for AR/VR, wearable, or mobile platforms
  • Experience developing and optimizing ISP and machine learning algorithms for camera products
  • Experience with end-to-end camera ISP pipelines and image processing algorithms
  • Experience with sensor calibration models and camera characterization
  • Experience with Qualcomm hardware and CamX, SoC platform architecture, and real-time embedded software
  • Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
  • Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
  • Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
