Intelligent Image Sensing

We’re seeking a co-founder opportunity in intelligent image sensing to advance CMOS-based in-sensor computing technology. Modern sensors, cameras, LiDAR, and IoT devices, generate massive volumes of data continuously. Transmitting this data to external processors or cloud servers requires high bandwidth and energy, while the physical separation between sensing and processing introduces latency that limits real-time responsiveness in intelligent systems.

The solution lies in intelligent image sensing, based on in-sensor computing. This technology combines sensing and memory in a single device, enabling real-time detection, processing, and on-sensor data storage. Using CMOS and Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) technology, these sensors integrate photodetectors with single-transistor memory or ferroelectric transistors (FeFET), creating light-sensitive devices with non-volatile storage. The technology is compatible with existing CMOS fabrication, energy-efficient, reduces e-waste, and has high yield potential. Laboratory fabrication has already demonstrated successful image-sensing capabilities.

Potential Applications and Markets:

• Smartphones & wearables
• Automotive and robotics
• Security and surveillance
• Internet of Things (IoT)
• Augmented reality & virtual reality
• Agriculture & environmental monitoring
• Neuromorphic computing and optical memory

As a co-founder, you will help refine the technology, develop product prototypes, and explore its application across multiple high-impact markets. This is a unique opportunity to leverage a highly scalable, energy-efficient, and secure sensing solution to build ventures that deliver measurable impact.

The position is based at High Tech Campus Eindhoven, a leading hub for innovation, and you will work closely with HighTechXL’s venture building program to accelerate the technology from lab to market.

If you have a passion for CMOS technology and a background in photonics, electrical engineering, or nanofabrication, we want to hear from you. Join HighTechXL and help turn intelligent image sensing from a laboratory breakthrough into market-ready solutions.
