Job Synopsis:

Geography:

Global (customer interactions worldwide)

Location:

Chennai

Experience:

2 to 5 years

Educational Qualification :

Bachelor's degree in ECE / CSE or related field

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-con's camera modules, embedded vision systems, and AI-enabled surveillance products.


You'll 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 Systems' products. 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 R&D 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-con's 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, R&D, 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.
