Role Overview:
As an Application Engineer at e-con Systems, you will be the technical interface between customers and internal teams - ensuring successful integration and deployment of e-cons camera modules, embedded vision systems, and AI-enabled surveillance products.
Youll engage from pre-sales to production, providing solution proposals, design integration support, and field-level debugging assistance.
This role is ideal for engineers who are technically hands-on, customer-oriented, and eager to grow in both system-level problem-solving and solution ownership.
Key Responsibilities: Pre-Sales Solution Definition:
- Collaborate with Sales and Product Management to understand customer requirements and propose suitable camera or embedded vision solutions using e-con Systemsproducts.
- Participate in technical discussions, requirement gathering, and feasibility assessments, translating customer needs into clear technical deliverables.
- Support customer proof-of-concept (PoC) and evaluation activities to achieve design wins.
Integration Design Support:
- Guide customers on hardware and software integration, including camera bring-up, image tuning, and performance optimization on embedded platforms.
- Work hands-on with NVIDIA Jetson, Qualcomm, or ARM-based embedded platforms, debugging and configuring Linux drivers (V4L2, GStreamer, MIPI, USB, GMSL, Ethernet).
- Collaborate closely with internal engineering and QA teams to resolve issues and enhance product robustness.
Production Post-Deployment Support:
- Assist customers during transition from prototype to production resolving manufacturing, firmware, or image-quality-related challenges.
- Track and escalate recurring field issues, providing structured feedback to RD for continuous improvement.
- Maintain strong documentation for customer configurations and integration guides.
Product Enablement Knowledge Sharing:
- Validate new camera modules, features, and SDK updates; provide actionable feedback to product and engineering teams.
- Conduct technical trainings for distributors, customers, and partners to enhance adoption of e-cons products.
- Contribute to application notes, FAQs, and demo content in collaboration with the marketing and technical writing teams.
Technical Skills:
- Solid understanding of Embedded Systems, Linux (kernel user space), and driver-level debugging.
- Programming experience in C/C++ and Python, with working knowledge of shell scripting.
- Familiarity with camera and imaging technologies Image sensors, ISPs, color tuning, exposure control, and video formats.
- Hands-on experience with vision interfaces (USB 3.0, MIPI CSI-2, GMSL, GigE Vision) and media frameworks (V4L2, GStreamer, OpenCV).
- Experience with AI inference on edge devices (Jetson / Qualcomm / NPU platforms) is a strong plus.
- Understanding of networked video streaming, latency, and bandwidth optimization desirable for surveillance use cases.
Behavioral Business Competencies:
- Customer-centric mindset ability to translate technical complexity into business impact and actionable insights.
- Strong communication skills articulate technical details clearly in written and verbal formats.
- Analytical problem-solving structured debugging, root-cause analysis, and issue ownership.
- Collaboration cross-functional alignment comfortable working with Sales, Product, RD, and QA teams.
- Adaptability can handle changing priorities across geographies and projects.
- Continuous learning proactive in exploring new camera technologies, edge AI frameworks, and embedded toolchains.
- Hands-on attitude thrives in lab testing, PoC building, and direct customer interactions.
- Documentation discipline maintains organized records of test setups, configurations, and resolutions.
What Makes This Role Exciting:
- Be part of the Business Unit driving next-generation Smart Surveillance solutions.
- Work directly with global OEMs, system integrators, and AI solution providers.
- Opportunity to influence product roadmaps through direct customer feedback and field experience.
- Exposure to end-to-end camera solution lifecycle from concept to deployment.
