Job Title: System Engineer V
Location: Onsite in WA- Redmond
Duration: 6 months – Potential extension

As a Systems Engineer for Calibration, you will work with camera and display calibration equipment, test and characterize it, as well as define the calibration procedure. You will write software to facilitate calibration and testing workflows, as well as process relevant data. You will work closely with teams developing novel sensors, silicon, and integrated products to guarantee successful calibration and establish clear interfaces and quality gates. You will troubleshoot system-wide calibration issues spanning mechanical, electrical, optical and software failures. You will partner with manufacturing teams to deploy calibration functionality at scale in a factory setting.
