About the Job

Requirements

  • At least 7 years of practical experience in video or CCTV device development, new product introduction, product industrialization, manufacturing engineering, product engineering, or related hardware manufacturing roles.
  • Experience building or managing a CCTV manufacturing line.
  • Hands-on experience across the full product lifecycle in a mature manufacturing company with established engineering and manufacturing processes for video surveillance IP cameras or similar devices.
  • Ability to identify industrialization risks during design and provide practical recommendations to research and development, mechanical, hardware, firmware, quality assurance, and manufacturing teams throughout development and manufacturing.
  • Practical experience supporting factory production and mass-production ramp-up, including onsite factory support.
  • Strong understanding of production-line structure and manufacturing processes for video devices.
  • Deep understanding of environmental and reliability validation, including temperature and humidity testing, mechanical testing, and burn-in testing.
  • Expertise in optical subsystems, image sensors, and image signal processor performance, including validation, testing flows, troubleshooting, and issue resolution.
  • Ability to identify whether image-quality issues originate from hardware, optics, mechanics, image signal processor tuning, firmware, or manufacturing processes.
  • Practical experience with image sensor contamination control, clean assembly procedures, dust inspection, and dust-ingress prevention.
  • Ability to act as a technical authority and knowledge-sharing expert rather than only as an execution-focused engineer.
  • Strong understanding of optics and camera assembly, lens systems, focusing, active alignment, dust contamination control, and dust protection.
  • Experience with flat protective glass, domes, plastic windows, infrared windows, coatings, mechanical stress, and contamination effects on optical systems.
  • Understanding of plastic and metal enclosure design principles and injection-molded and die-cast part manufacturing technologies, including sealed enclosures, membranes, waterproofing, and outdoor product design.
  • Experience with IPX6/IPX7-type testing, leak testing, and pressure testing.
  • Deep understanding of moisture and condensation issues in sealed devices, including the use of silica gel or molecular sieves and membrane vents.
  • Strong practical understanding of video camera manufacturing issues such as damaged pixels, shading, fixed-pattern noise, sensor tilt, and sensor mounting defects.
  • Understanding of auto white balance, auto exposure, optical black correction, and artificial-intelligence-enabled image signal processor technologies.
  • Experience with factory sensor and optical calibration procedures and image-quality validation principles.
  • Good understanding of Ethernet, IEEE 802.3af/802.3at, Power over Ethernet, and electromagnetic interference/electromagnetic compatibility interactions.
  • Working knowledge of embedded Linux or real-time operating systems, boot processes, factory firmware flashing, Secure Boot, over-the-air updates, and recovery mechanisms.
  • Basic practical understanding of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz behavior, interference, attenuation, antenna placement, and enclosure impact.
  • Understanding of lithium-ion and lithium iron phosphate fundamentals, charging and discharging, standby and active current consumption, and realistic battery-life validation.
  • Basic understanding of microphone and speaker validation, including enclosure and waterproof membrane impact.

Responsibilities

  • Share practical expertise across research and development, new product introduction, and manufacturing.
  • Build appropriate CCTV manufacturing processes, an ecosystem, and production lines to maximize throughput and efficiency.
  • Provide practical recommendations to technical and manufacturing teams throughout development and manufacturing.
  • Support factory production and mass-production ramp-up, including onsite factory support.
  • Identify industrialization risks during design stages and troubleshoot image-quality issues across hardware, optics, mechanics, image signal processor tuning, firmware, and manufacturing processes.

Desired Qualifications

  • Knowledge of video wide dynamic range/high dynamic range, artificial-intelligence-enabled image signal processor technologies, low-light optimization, H.264/H.265/AV1 fundamentals, and bitrate/quality trade-offs.
