Video Engineer - PHILIPS

Royal Dutch Philips is the largest Dutch manufacturer of consumer electronics and is continuously looking to explore the most advanced related technologies. Do you have the experience to enforce Philips' Digital video development?

Your role

The application domain is Television, specifically the processing, control of processing, and conversion/transfer of high dynamic range (HDR) video signals for television. This involves tone mapping, color processing and gamut mapping. Also the design of adaptive algorithms to control the HDR processing/conversion/transfer on a frame basis are in scope. Basis knowledge of color science techniques as described in e.g. Charles Poynton “Digital Video and HD Algorithms and Interfaces” are definite plus. Typically the algorithms are designed (and partly evaluated) using tools like Matlab and Python. These designs are then transferred for development in C (or SoCs/FPGA’s).
Such development is, however, not part of the job. These algorithms in early prototypes are being tested with prospective customers, and in trials.

These need to be supported by somebody with on the one hand a strong enough video signal processing background to understand why things are not working if they are not working, but on the other hand is hands-on enough to fix such problems, and throughout has a good rapport with the third parties we are interacting with.
