Senior Engineer Sensor Calibration and Automation

As a Senior XR Device Calibration and Automation Engineer at Qualcomm XR Research, you will play a crucial role in developing cutting-edge XR technologies for AR/VR/MR user experiences. Your primary focus will be on sensor calibration and automation to ensure the smooth execution of calibration and compliance activities. Here is a breakdown of your responsibilities: - Own and execute complete XR sensor calibration workflows, including intrinsic and extrinsic calibration of cameras, IMUs, and related sensors. - Design, automate, and maintain calibration pipelines to ensure scalability, accuracy, repeatability, and long-term robustness. - Diagnose, debug, and resolve calibration and validation failures across hardware and software interfaces. - Drive certification and compliance readiness by identifying gaps during validation cycles and ensuring timely closure. - Provide technical leadership, deep root-cause analysis, and actionable guidance to unblock dependent teams. Qualifications Required: - Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field. - Proven experience in sensor calibration (camera, IMU, etc.) for SLAM, XR, or robotics systems. - Strong expertise in automation and tooling using scripting or programming languages such as Python, C/C++, or similar. - Excellent debugging and root-cause analysis skills across complex hardware-software systems. - Strong written and verbal communication skills for effective cross-team collaboration. - Demonstrated ability to work independently in highly specialized technical domains with minimal oversight. Preferred Skills & Experience: - Hands-on experience with XR, AR, or VR device calibration. - Familiarity with robotic automation, including robotic arms and control infrastructure. - Experience with Qualcomm platforms, camera systems, and sensors (IMU, depth, tracking). - Understanding of SLAM based systems and multi-sensor fusion techniques. Minimum Qualifications: - Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 2+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience. OR - Master's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 1+ year of Software Engineering or related work experience. OR - PhD in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field. - 2+ years of academic or work experience with Programming Languages such as C, C++, Java, Python, etc. Qualcomm is an equal opportunity employer committed to providing accessible processes for individuals with disabilities.
