From the original posting
About The Role:
Skydio designs and manufactures fully autonomous drones that use state of the art hardware paired with advanced computer vision and machine learning to ensure our users always have access to the visual information they need. As part of our imaging team in Tampere, you will help test and characterize the camera modules going into our current and next-generation products, design the lab setups that make that testing possible, and — depending on your interests — get involved in image quality analysis, ISP tuning, or our Qualcomm-based camera software stack.
This is a part-time position alongside your studies, with flexible hours.
About The Team:
We design camera systems that support autonomous navigation, professional media capture, and industrial inspection and situational awareness. From early-stage user needs analysis to mass production, we manage the entire lifecycle: requirements definition, hardware bring-up, tuning, and validation.
How You’ll Make An Impact:
Design and build new lab setups and fixtures for camera and image quality testing, including the software that drives them
Test and calibrate new camera modules against our requirements
Analyze measurement data and turn it into clear visualizations and reports that steer concrete design decisions
Depending on your interests and background: contribute to image quality analysis, ISP tuning, optics simulations, or development on our Qualcomm-based camera software stack
What Makes You A Good Fit:
You are studying toward a degree in a field such as electrical engineering, optics, photonics, computer vision, or computer science — with a solid foundation in one of these areas
Genuine enthusiasm for hands-on work in the lab with real hardware
Python or a comparable language for automating measurements, data analysis and visualization
Clear written and verbal communication
Working proficiency in English
Nice To Have:
Hands-on experience with lab instruments or building your own measurement setups
Interest in cameras and photography
Familiarity with image quality metrics — resolution, noise, color — and how they are measured
Experience with optical design or simulation software
Exposure to embedded Linux or Qualcomm ISP
