Joblaze insights
Quick facts
From the original posting
We're hiring a Mechanical Camera & Sensor Calibration Engineer to own Mecka's entire calibration pipeline: camera intrinsics to IMU alignment to factory calibration infrastructure.
This is a hands-on, deeply practical role. You'll work directly with cameras, IMUs, and multi-sensor rigs to ensure our capture systems produce accurate, reliable data at scale.
Your immediate task: deliver production-quality calibration values. From there, you'll take full ownership of calibration pipeline process across Mecka's hardware fleet.
Deliver accurate IMU and Camera calibration values (intrinsic and extrinsic) for production systems
Assess and improve current calibration workflows
Own the entire calibration pipeline — camera intrinsics/extrinsics, IMU calibration, multi-sensor alignment
Ensure factory calibration is performed properly, consistently, and on schedule
Build and maintain calibration infrastructure — tooling, fixtures, validation scripts, and documentation
Develop automated calibration verification and quality assurance systems
Work with hardware and embedded teams to ensure sensor mounting and alignment meet calibration requirements
Debug and resolve calibration-related issues across deployed systems
Practical, hands-on experience with camera calibration (intrinsics, extrinsics, stereo, multi-camera rigs)
Practical experience with IMU calibration and tuning (bias estimation, alignment, noise characterization)
Understanding of sensor fusion fundamentals and how calibration quality affects downstream performance
Experience building calibration tooling and infrastructure for production environments
Ability to speak Mandarin and obtain work allowance in China
Experience in a manufacturing or hardware deployment environment with calibration at scale
Familiarity with OpenCV, Kalibr, or similar calibration frameworks
Experience with multi-sensor calibration (camera-IMU, etc.)
Background in autonomous vehicles, robotics, or AR/VR hardware calibration
Experience with factory/production line calibration processes
Knowledge of uncertainty quantification and error analysis
Extremely detail-oriented and methodical
Comfortable working with physical hardware — not just software
Able to design repeatable, scalable calibration processes
A strong debugger who can trace data quality issues back to root causes
Own calibration end-to-end at a company building robotics data infrastructure
Direct impact on data quality that feeds into ML and perception systems
Work with cutting-edge multi-sensor capture hardware
High autonomy and ownership from day one
