Our technologies power 45 of the world’s top 50 telecom operators, and one-third of the global population benefits from Huawei innovations. With operations in over 170 countries and a global workforce of more than 180,000 employees — over 80,000 of whom are engaged in research and development — we are deeply committed to pushing the boundaries of technology.

At Huawei, you will be part of a dynamic, diverse, and inclusive environment, collaborating with talented professionals from over 150 nationalities. We actively invest in and reward talent. If you're passionate about AI, computing, and solving challenging problems through innovation, you'll find unparalleled opportunities to grow, lead, and make global impact with us.

Huawei's Zurich Research Center is a leading European hub for cutting-edge computer vision and AI research. The Computer Vision and Machine Learning Lab is seeking a passionate and innovative researcher to drive next-generation breakthroughs in Color Processing & Perceptual Rendering for Huawei mobile phones. Your work will also power other Huawei products such as laptops, tablets, XR, and beyond.

What You’ll Work On

• Design high-quality color constancy/white-balance algorithms for single and multi-illuminant scenes
• Develop tone & gamut mapping for SDR/HDR
• Advance skin-tone fidelity and fairness: datasets, metrics, and rendering tuned to human perception
• Ensure cross-camera, cross-device consistency and robust color management
• Build hybrid (classical + learned) ISP color modules from RAW to sRGB; explore spectral cues and physics-guided deep learning
• Using psychophysics and big foundation model to develop learned perceptual metrics that predict user preference
• Create efficient, compact models and LUT-based deployments suitable for real-time, on-device execution
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to push the limits of real-time mobile imaging and publish at top venues

Preferred Qualifications

• PhD or MS with research experience in Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Graphics, or related fields.
• Publication record in top-tier venues (CVPR, ICCV, NeurIPS, SIGGRAPH, ECCV, etc.).
• Proven experience in one or more of the following:
  • Color constancy & color appearance
  • Tone/gamut mapping
  • Neural/hybrid ISP
  • Spectral reconstruction
  • Perceptual evaluation
  • Efficient model design (quantization, distillation, pruning, NAS, etc.)
• Solid coding skills in Python and deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch).
• Experience with real-time or on-device inference is a plus.
• Solid coding skills in C++ is a plus.

Why Join Huawei Zurich?

• Work on impactful, product-facing research that reaches millions of users.
• Collaborate with world-class scientists and engineers in an open, curiosity-driven environment.
• Enjoy a competitive salary, and a high quality of life in beautiful Zurich.
