Staff Researcher, Camera Imaging/Artificial Intelligence

Lab Summary:  Samsung AI Research Center (SAIC) located in Toronto, Canada, is recruiting outstanding scientists to join our team focused on camera and imaging technology. Our center focuses on short-term and long-term research targeting Samsung products with the potential to impact millions of users worldwide. We are focused on using AI to push the state-of-the-art in image enhancement and restoration, computational photography, and photo editing. 

Position Summary: SAIC-Toronto is looking for strong candidates with expertise in low-level computer vision, computational photography, camera ISPs, and AI.

Position Responsibilities:  Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Developing solutions to core low-level computer vision/camera challenges such as image denoising, image demosaicing, burst (multi-frame) processing, color manipulation, and photo enhancement.
• Keeping up-to-date on latest trends in AI for image enhancement, image restoration, and in-camera processing. 
• Developing lightweight AI models for on-device imaging tasks.
• Publishing findings in top conferences and journals in relevant areas (AI/computer vision/imaging).
• Working in highly collaborative environments with internal and external partners.
• Mentoring and managing staff members.
• Managing and tracking project deliverables.

Required Skills:

• PhD in Computer Science or equivalent combination of education, training, and experience.
• 5+ years’ industry experience in low-level computer vision or computational photography projects.
• Track record of publishing scientific papers in top conferences and journals (e.g., CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, NeurIPs, ICML, AAAI).
• Strong communication skills (written and verbal), motivation for international collaboration.
• Ability to mentor other scientists and in the lab.
• Experience with developing, training, and deploying AI models for imaging tasks.
• Solid technical and programming skills (Python, PyTorch/TensorFlow).

Special Attributes:

The candidate will have the opportunity to work with other top researchers and engineers, and be able to publish their work in top-tier conferences and journals. Team members have opportunities to propose new features and work with product teams developing applications and technology for Samsung devices. This position is a great fit for researchers who want to be at the cutting edge of research, and at the same time have direct real-world impact.
