Algorithm Engineer

We are seeking a highly talented individual for an algorithm engineer position. The
successful candidate will join a world-class team of algorithm and software engineers to
design advanced image processing algorithms used in next-generation defect inspection
equipment. One major responsibility of the candidate is to invent new ideas, analyze the
complex system, and formulate a mathematical solution that is practical for use in
production. In addition, the candidate is expected to possess good oral and written
communications skills to interact with other engineers and applications, locally or
internationally, on a daily basis.
This position is located in Shanghai, China.
The algorithm engineer’s responsibilities:
 Investigate/develop/improve advanced image processing and machine learning
algorithms for defect inspection. Tasks include: define a problem statement, research
academic papers, or based on current algorithms/ investigations to propose potential
solutions, prototype the idea (may or may not require working with other team
members), conclude feasibility and performance, design product approach, develop and
implement the code, test/debug/integrate into product software.
 The candidate is eventually responsible to deliver throughput by working with
optimization expert. The candidate should be familiar with performance optimization
techniques in algorithm flow level.
 The candidate is responsible to support escalations in house or at customer sites,
provide quick turnaround solutions.
 The candidate is responsible to acquire knowledge or of key use cases, or discover new
usecases for defect inspection tool from apps, marketing, sometime through customer
engagement.
 The candidate will work in a global environment to interact with multi-site (China, USA,
India), multi-discipline (SW, Image Computer, system/HW, apps and marketing) team
members in various stage of product life cycle for feasibility study, requirement analysis,
design, coding, integration and testing.
 The candidate is responsible to follow KT defined software development processes
