Full Job Description
Passionate about image signal processing and ready to lead the algorithmic direction of a camera imaging team? Join us as the lead ISP algorithm developer, driving the evolution of Ring's imaging pipeline from classical ISP toward hybrid AI-ISP architectures. As a Lead ISP Algorithm Developer, you would be the technical authority on imaging algorithms, working together with algorithm developers, SW developers, IQ Engineers, architects, and various stakeholders on different sites. When you are successful, end users will have Ring cameras that produce stunning image quality through algorithms you designed and led to production — combining proven ISP techniques with AI enhancements to capture every moment with improved clarity and great color, no matter whether it is day or night. You will set the technical direction for ISP algorithms, mentor other algorithm developers, and make the key architectural decisions on how the imaging pipeline evolves. You understand how a traditional imaging pipeline works — from sensor to demosaic, noise reduction, tone mapping, color processing — and you know where AI can replace, augment, or guide these stages. You will architect hybrid solutions where conventional algorithms and neural networks work together, each doing what they do best. This work requires deep signal processing skills combined with practical AI/ML experience, and the leadership to shape and drive the vision. You need to understand both classical and AI worlds well enough to make the right architectural decisions and guide others in implementing them. It is essential to have hands-on experience with ISP pipelines and be able to design solutions that are deployable on embedded hardware with NPU acceleration. In Tampere, we have experts in most areas sitting in the very same office; you can just go and visit them and maybe sketch your idea on paper or whiteboard. The expert network at Amazon Ring is also there to ensure success in your work. If you feel this is for you,
