An exciting opportunity to be part of a small team working on cutting-edge vision sensor technologies to enable technically challenging products for new mobile devices, AR/VR headsets, automation, and much more.

• Are you intrinsically motivated to find solutions to difficult questions?
• Do you possess the courage to test your own ideas without being afraid to fail?

Acquired by Sony in 2019, we strive to keep alive our startup culture of curiosity and high engagement. We concentrate on vision solutions that drive customer value and establish leading design methodologies for rapid and efficient prototyping of our ideas.

Our team values highly a diverse work culture that promotes expression of differing opinions and values diverse personalities and backgrounds. This is critical for asking the right questions to find the best and simplest solutions.

With you on our team, we will live up to the Sony mission to \\xe2\\x80\\x9cfill the world with emotion, through the power of creativity and technology.\\xe2\\x80\\x9d The journey begins by answering a few questions about yourself along with the job application submission.

You will:

• Build software tools for vision system prototyping purposes such as sensor simulation, dataset management & handling, ML model deployment, and efficient computation on GPU clusters
• Work closely with our interdisciplinary team, that includes computer vision, AI, and image sensor experts, to drive a new framework for prototyping of sensing solutions
• Coordinate developments within a multi-cultural work environment that spans engineering sites from Japan, Europe, and North America across the Sony Group organization

You will bring:

• MSc or higher in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Electrical Engineering\\xe2\\x80\\xa6 or surprise us with a background that we did not think of yet!
• Experience (preferably industry experience) with modern software development methodologies and principles, such as CI/CD, containers, SOLID, etc.
• Proficiency in multiple programming languages, including Python and C/C++
• Confident communication skills and fluency in English

You can set yourself apart if you have:

• Familiarity with MLOps and associated frameworks that include data handling, monitoring, visualization, and deployment
• Experience in an R&D or startup environment in a relevant area such as sensor fusion, computer vision, machine learning, circuits, system design, or mathematical modeling
• Basic knowledge of computer vision and/or image sensors

The position is within the Sony Advanced Visual Sensing (AVS) group which is an R&D center of Sony Semiconductor Solutions based in Zurich, Switzerland and a former spin-off of the University of Zurich and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich). We develop novel computer vision algorithms, vision sensors and sensing systems based on our world-leading sensing expertise, including event-based cameras, CMOS cameras, and more. We\\xe2\\x80\\x99re a small, dynamic, and young team where everybody can talk to everybody and give inputs on any topic at any time. The team continues to actively shape itself and everybody can have a big influence not only on technical topics but also on our culture and the way we work. We aim to give people the space to learn new things and develop themselves. We value and empower the individual to empower us!

Sony Semiconductor Solutions ( ) is the world market leader in image sensors, and it is very likely that you knowingly or unknowingly already take your photos with a Sony image sensor. Sony is using its unique technological advantage in image sensors to conquer new fields and markets. If you join us, you will be at the forefront of these activities. We are proud to have been named one of the World\\\'s Most Ethical Companies multiple years in a row.

If this sounds like your next adventure, we\\xe2\\x80\\x99re looking forward to hearing from you!

Your new office - Z\\xc3\\xbcrich Technology Centre (ZTC)

Surrounded by Swiss Alps, the Schlieren office is at the doorstep of Zurich, which is consistently voted in top three best cities to live. The city benefits from a very rich ecosystem where prestigious universities, research institutes, companies and organizations collaborate for the development and design of next generation technologies. Our office is very well connected with public transports (train, tram, bus) and located in a very modern and bright building. We have several enjoyable break rooms as well as a terrace which we use for regular social team events or as a casual working area. Our team is unique and international, representing engineering and sales/marketing functions, which creates this unique and passionate Sony Swiss DNA.
