Camera ISP Software Engineer

The Consumer Products team at OpenAI builds and ships end-to-end hardware and software experiences that bring frontier AI into the physical world. We work across industrial design, hardware engineering, embedded systems, and AI research to create category-defining consumer devices that feel intuitive, reliable, and deeply integrated with OpenAI’s models. Within this organization, the Camera team is responsible for delivering robust, production-ready imaging systems that operate under real-world constraints such as motion, power, latency, and manufacturing variation. Our work spans early silicon and board bring-up through mass production, and directly supports both user-facing experiences and on-device perception for AI-driven features. We operate as a small, highly technical team with deep ownership, close cross-functional collaboration, and a strong bias toward shipping high-quality products rather than incremental demos. As a Camera ISP Software Engineer, you will own end-to-end ISP bring-up and tuning across prototype and production hardware. You’ll work across software tuning and hardware-accelerated pipelines to deliver stable, high-quality imaging under real-world constraints such as motion, power, and manufacturing variation. This role is ideal for engineers who thrive in ambiguous early-stage environments, enjoy deep technical ownership, and take pride in shipping production-grade imaging systems.
