Senior Camera ISP Pixel Reconstruction Scientist

As a definitive pioneer in mobile imaging technology, Huawei continues to lead industry-wide fundamental innovations: from inventing the world's first multi-camera collaborative computational photography architecture, to developing the proprietary RYYB ultra-light-sensitive sensor that redefines quantum efficiency limits; from establishing the XMAGE imaging standard that topped DxOMark multiple times, to introducing the industry's first adjustable physical aperture system, relentlessly pushing imaging engineering boundaries. The retractable lens module on the 2024 Pura 70 Ultra, honored with CES 'Imaging Technology Breakthrough Award,' solidifies Huawei's absolute leadership in full-stack innovation across optics, mechanics, electronics, and computational integration. With more than 1000 imaging-related PCT patents to date, Huawei has built the world's most comprehensive patent moat in mobile imaging.

In our relentless pursuit to transcend the physical boundaries of mobile imaging, Huawei invites Camera Architecture Visionaries to join us in defining next-generation, endto-end imaging paradigms. We seek strategic innovators with proven expertise in crossdomain collaboration across optics, sensing, processing, and display. Ideal candidates possess hands-on experience in industrializing flagship-level mobile imaging systems—from CMOS sensor customization and ISP architecture design to display engine optimization—and demonstrate the ability to deconstruct quality bottlenecks through firstprinciples thinking, revolutionizing consumer imaging experiences via algorithmic breakthroughs and system-level validation.
