About the role
OmniVision is seeking a Digital Design Engineer to design and implement sensor timing control logic and contribute to ISP system-level integration.
What you'll do
- Design and implement sensor timing control logic and contribute to ISP system-level integration. - Participate in chip-level architecture definition, including analog interfaces, control logic, image data processing pipelines, and PPA trade-offs. - Integrate and validate ISP data paths based on PRD, design specifications, and overall SoC architecture. - Work with physical design teams on floor planning, timing closure, and DFT implementation. - Perform full-chip integration and verification, supporting chip bring-up, silicon debugging, and validation through production readiness. - Collaborate with algorithm and application engineers on image tuning, optimization, and qualification.
What you'll need
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field, or equivalent practical experience. - At least 2 years of hands-on experience designing RTL digital logic using Verilog or SystemVerilog, or equivalent industry experience. - Proficiency with scripting languages such as Python or Perl to support design, verification, and automation workflows. - Experience analyzing and optimizing area, power, and performance (PPA) trade-offs in digital designs.
Nice to have
- Master’s degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline. - Strong background in image sensor and camera system design or integration. - Experience with high-speed MIPI interfaces (e.g., CSI-2 / D-PHY / C-PHY). - Practical experience with Image Signal Processing (ISP) architectures and pipelines.
