Job Description

About Team
PICO’s Imaging Systems & Human Engineering team is looking for passionate and versatile imaging experts to work on next-generation imaging algorithms that deliver top-tier visual experiences across PICO products, from camera capture to display rendering.

Our team focuses on the end-to-end imaging pipeline, bridging camera systems, display technologies, and human visual perception. We develop and evaluate imaging algorithms that span optical design, digital image processing, computer vision, and system-level optimization, with a strong emphasis on image quality, efficiency, and real-world user experience.

Team members play a key role in shaping both technology direction and productization roadmaps, contributing to the future of imaging technologies and their applications in VR/MR /AR devices.

Responsibilities:
- Develop novel perceptual metrics to quantify user experience in the areas of visual quality and comfort for AR/VR products.
- Apply perception sciences in AR/VR product developments through psychophysics experiments, early vision modeling, and developing perceptual driven machine learning and AI imaging algorithms.
- Design and implement eye-tracking related display features based on perceptual science principles, and validate performance through user studies.
- Develop and maintain simulation platforms, computational models, and prototypes to accelerate hardware design iterations and software optimizations.
- Analyze various aspects of visual quality and visual comfort of next generation display systems, to identify system limitations and define imaging system architecture specifications.

The base salary range for this position in the selected city is $136800 - $359720 annually.
