The Position

Metalenz is developing next-generation sensing systems for consumer electronics with metasurface technology. As an intern on the software team, you will help develop applications that make use of our meta-optic camera systems. You will work with novel polarization imaging systems that require creative approaches to image processing and sensor integration. A successful candidate will be able to design, implement, and deploy software for testing and tuning these systems and for leveraging these systems in customer-facing applications.

What you’ll do

• Design and implement software that make uses of our unique camera hardware
• Deploy, test, and optimize these apps on mobile devices
• Collaborate by writing documentation, engaging in code review, and commenting on design documents
• Engage with other teams (product, engineering, marketing) to design and deploy software that supports our goals as a company

What you'll need

• Currently has or in the process of obtaining a BS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or relevant field
• Strong programming skills in C or C++
• Experience with software engineering best practices (testing, version control, code review)
• Background in building and deploying applications for embedded systems (through coursework or previous projects)

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with image processing fundamentals
• Experience with ARM-based systems and performance optimization (e.g. NEON, DSP)
• Prior work with Android & related tools (e.g. Android Studio) and mobile development
• Understanding of camera sensor interfaces and hardware abstraction layers (HAL)
• Proficiency in Computed Aided Design (CAD) software (e.g. Solidworks)
