Imaging Algorithm Engineer

Who are we hiring? MSG is hiring an Image Processing Algorithms Engineer to join a groundbreaking imaging systems department based on-site in Burbank, CA. The Image Processing Algorithms Engineer works in close coordination with the Capture and Imaging Systems, post-production and capture departments to automate, optimize and accelerate stitching, develop an image sensor pipeline, image enhancement tools, and ensure exceptional image quality on MSG's capture systems. Candidates must have experience working on content creation imaging pipelines for cinema and post-production workflows. The Capture and Imaging Systems team is tasked with creating and maintaining hardware and software tools for preview, capture, ingest, transcode, color science, review, QC, and final delivery. Within this scope, the Image Scientist will play a critical role in improving captured image quality and automating processes leading up to final output and display. The resolution, field of view, and sheer scale of the Sphere venues means that the image quality for Sphere content creation is essential. The Image Scientist must be able to work closely develop image processing solutions and algorithms that can be scaled to meet the production quality requirement for MSG Sphere. What will you do? • Develop image sensor and optical correction algorithms • Design and develop de-mosaicking algorithms • Analyze image sensor colorimetry and develop optimized color science • Optimize algorithms for GPU and FPGA platforms • Develop filtering, denoise, sampling and stabilization algorithms • Guide the creation of new image quality metrics, evaluation procedures, and inventing novel image processing systems and methods. • Develop computer vision tools for image processing, feature extraction, object detection, classification, tracking, segmentation, camera calibration, optical flow, stereo, and structure from motion What do you need to succeed? • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Imaging Science, Master's degree preferred • 3+ years of experience in high quality, high resolution imaging and image sensor processing • Experience with image sensor processing, optical correction algorithms • Experience with filtering, sampling, scaling and stabilization algorithms • Experience and understanding of color science • Thorough understanding of image quality fundamentals and theory, including optics, image sensors, camera systems, lighting, and display technologies • Solid experience in image processing and computer vision • Experience in GPU acceleration, OpenCV (and similar computer-vision libraries) • Knowledge in computer vision related topics such as segmentation, 3D perception (image, point cloud), and spatial-temporal analysis. • Thorough understanding of RAW image processing • Strong Python and C++ experience Why is MSG for me? With MSG Sphere, we are creating an entirely new medium that will deliver immersive entertainment experiences at an unparalleled scale. Beyond a venue, Sphere is a multi-sensory platform with experiential technology programming directly to your senses. You will see in ways never imagined, hear with every fiber of your being, and experience like never before. To deliver on this promise, we are building the largest immersive venue in the world, MSG Sphere at The Venetian in Las Vegas, with a second Sphere venue planned for London, pending necessary approvals. In addition to building a breakthrough venue, we’re building a production studio team, a technology venture team, and a full commercial organization to make the MSG Sphere a world class brand and business for our fans, our artists, and our partners. We have offices and roles in Burbank CA, Las Vegas NV, New York, NY and London.
