We are looking for a highly skilled and detail-oriented Color Scientist to join our team. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in color science, image processing, and visual perception, with experience in applying these principles to real-world applications such as display technologies, digital imaging, and color calibration. As a Color Scientist, you will work closely with engineers, designers, and product managers to ensure accurate color reproduction and consistency across various devices and platforms.
In this role, you will be responsible for developing and implementing color management systems, conducting experiments to evaluate color performance, and creating algorithms for color correction and enhancement. You will also analyze data from visual tests, contribute to the development of color standards, and support the integration of color science into product development cycles.
The successful candidate will possess a deep understanding of color theory, color spaces (such as sRGB, Adobe RGB, XYZ, Lab), and color difference metrics (such as Delta E). Familiarity with color measurement instruments like spectrophotometers and colorimeters is essential. You should also be proficient in programming languages such as Python, MATLAB, or C++, and have experience with image processing libraries and tools.
This position requires excellent problem-solving skills, the ability to communicate complex concepts to non-experts, and a passion for delivering visually stunning and color-accurate experiences. If you are enthusiastic about the science of color and want to make a tangible impact on how people perceive and interact with digital content, we encourage you to apply.
