At Orqa, we’re building technology that allows humans and machines to see the world like never before. We bring together engineers, creators, and innovators who push the boundaries of what’s possible - from cutting-edge FPV systems to advanced Remote Reality solutions, and toward the next generation of robotics. And behind every great technology, there’s great organization.

As a Camera Vision Specialist, you will work at the intersection of hardware, firmware, and software — collaborating across multidisciplinary teams to deliver high‑quality real‑time camera systems for drone applications, both for operator viewing and automated vision tasks. 

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

• Define imaging requirements for EO and IR cameras and evaluate sensors (visible and thermal) and lenses for performance, environmental conditions, and mission needs

• Design and tune image signal processing (ISP) pipelines to achieve optimal image quality, low latency, dynamic range control, noise reduction, and color/thermal calibration

• Integrate and optimize algorithms (including CNN and deep learning methods) for correcting image artifacts, enhancing quality, object detection, and other computer vision tasks relevant to drone payloads

• Work with embedded engineers on firmware, camera drivers (e.g., MIPI CSI‑2), and ISP controls; ensure real‑time performance on platforms such as NVIDIA Jetson, ARM SoCs, or FPGAs

• Develop test plans, calibrate sensors and optics, and validate full imaging system performance in both lab and field conditions

• Partner with hardware, software, controls, gimbal, and flight‑control teams to integrate and optimize the camera system for complete UAV solutions

WHAT WE EXPECT:

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Optical Engineering, Computer Vision, or related field

• 7+ years of experience

• Deep expertise in EO/IR camera systems, imaging pipelines, sensor/optics trade‑offs, and advanced vision/CNN algorithm integration

• Proven leadership in cross‑disciplinary projects and mentoring less experienced engineers

• Practical experience with imaging sensors (EO/IR), optics, and ISP pipelines

• Strong programming skills (C/C++ and/or Python)

• Knowledge of embedded systems, real‑time data processing, and standard vision frameworks (OpenCV, TensorFlow, PyTorch)

• Understanding of camera calibration, metrics, and quality evaluation

BONUS:

• Experience with drone/UAV integrations and low‑latency video pipelines

• Familiarity with libcamera, camera calibration toolkits, or embedded vision accelerators

• Understanding of communication protocols (MIPI, LVDS) relevant to camera systems
