The opportunity
About the Team The Consumer Products team at OpenAI builds end-to-end hardware and software systems that bring AI into the physical world. We work at the intersection of custom silicon, embedded systems, operating systems, and cloud services to deliver reliable, production-ready devices at scale.
What they're looking for
- Deep experience shipping embedded camera systems, including sensor bring-up,: driver development, and board-level debugging.
- Strong C/C++ experience with embedded or Linux-based systems; comfortable: debugging across kernel and userspace boundaries.
- Hands-on understanding of common camera hardware interfaces (for example,: MIPI CSI and sensor control buses) and the practical realities of bring-up, including power, reset, clocking, and sequencing.
- Proven track record of building reliable capture paths and effective debug: workflows that accelerate iteration through reproducible failures and well-scoped fixes.
