Hanwha Vision continues to expand its global reach, spearheading innovation within the video surveillance sector. Our core technologies, from advanced optical design to manufacturing and image processing, are recognized as world-class. We’re rapidly evolving into a comprehensive solution provider, driven by AI and cloud-based platforms. This leadership was recently cemented with a successful listing on the Korean stock market.
This trajectory has attracted exceptional talent, leading to a fiercely competitive application process, often with hundreds of applicants vying for each position.
At our R&D center in Pangyo, a dynamic hub of IT companies and startups, we met some of our newest team members.
Meet the Next-Gen Architects Shaping the Future of Video Surveillance Innovation
These driven individuals, who transitioned from internships to full-time roles at Hanwha Vision this past March, were drawn to the company by a shared passion: the transformative power of AI technology.
JaeSung Kim (Hardware Developer)
«For my undergraduate project, I used vision AI and tilt sensors to correct posture. It showed me the sheer potential of image-processing AI tech. I knew I wanted to be part of a team like Hanwha Vision, where we’re actually using AI to make the world a safer, more convenient place.»
Nahyeong Kim (Device Software Developer)
«My interest in computer vision really took off during my engineering studies. Seeing our ‘SAFE, Anytime, Anywhere: Hanwha Vision CCTV’ slogan at a baseball game sparked my curiosity. Going through our VEDA (Vision’s Edge Device Academy) program gave me valuable hands-on experience with network cameras, and that’s when I knew I wanted to develop AI-driven camera solutions.»
Yongryeol Lee (Device Product Manager)
«Having worked as a video analytics software developer, joining Hanwha Vision, a clear leader in edge AI cameras, was a no-brainer for me. I am particularly interested in how real-time event detection and alerting capabilities of AI-powered intelligent CCTV can make the world a safer and better place.»
Yewon Sally Shin (Global Strategist)
«My experience in consulting and physical security really highlighted the vast potential of AI and the security industry. I wanted to leverage my skills in a strategic role at Hanwha Vision, a company that’s making big waves globally in these critical areas.»
Their shared interest in AI and how it directly ties into their work here really underscores Hanwha Vision’s track record of driving innovation in the video surveillance sector.
Since launching our security business in 1990 with our first self-developed camera, Hanwha Vision has consistently pushed boundaries, evolving from analog systems to network cameras, and then to today’s cutting-edge AI and cloud-based solutions.
At the recent ISC WEST 2025, the security industry’s largest global event held annually in Las Vegas, Hanwha Vision turned heads with our newest SoC Wisenet 9, OnCloud solution, and NVIDIA Jetson™ Platform-powered products.
Yongryeol
«Being the first to market with NVIDIA module-powered cameras really proves our leadership. By integrating NVIDIA’s powerful AI capabilities, we not only significantly boost performance but also provide our customers with unparalleled flexibility through immediate access to the NVIDIA AI app ecosystem.»
JaeSung
«In hardware development, balancing functionality and cost-effectiveness is crucial. As the first to market, Hanwha Vision tackles the trials, creating a path for others to follow. Our NVIDIA collaboration and industry-first BCR (Barcode Reader) camera are benchmarks that demonstrate how we lead the way.»
Nahyeong
«Walking through the R&D Center, you can feel the constant drive for innovation across all departments. From device development and AI and cloud-based solutions, market strategy, and global supply chain management, everyone’s fully committed. This is all part of what makes Hanwha Vision more than just a camera manufacturer, and a true end-to-end solutions provider.”
«End-to-end solutions,» as we define it, mean offering comprehensive security solutions, from hardware like cameras and NVRs to software and cloud platforms, tailored to our customers’ specific needs. It’s a key differentiator that really sets Hanwha Vision apart.
The new hires consistently emphasized Hanwha Vision’s end-to-end capabilities as a core competitive advantage.
Yewon
«From my market research, I’ve seen that while many companies specialize in specific areas, few exhibit Hanwha Vision’s balanced strength across all domains. This strength, I believe, is a direct result of our open culture, which genuinely values new perspectives and encourages collaborative discussions.”
Work culture and technological innovation go hand in hand. So, how do these new Gen Z hires, perceive our workplace culture at Hanwha Vision?
Yongryeol
«Flexible hours are crucial for PMs like me, who frequently collaborate with global teams across different time zones. It enables us to build a seamless environment that transcends time and space, fostering real-time communication and problem-solving. This global interconnectedness is a significant driver of our competitiveness.”
JaeSung
«Hardware development is a highly collaborative process, but we’re not bound by rigid schedules. Our flexible work arrangement allows us to maximize individual productivity by working when we’re most focused. Beyond that, the horizontal culture here is truly remarkable. It’s not just lip service; everyone’s input, regardless of rank or age, is genuinely valued and actively sought out.»
Nahyeong
«Developing and fine-tuning AF features often requires extensive night testing and adjustments. Our flexible work environment is invaluable in these situations. It allows me to work during my peak productivity hours, which aren’t always traditional 9-to-6. This adaptability not only ensures the best possible results but also contributes to a more sustainable and fulfilling work-life balance.»
Yewon
«The genuine openness to new ideas at Hanwha Vision is incredibly refreshing and empowering. It’s not just about brainstorming; it’s about actively listening and implementing innovative suggestions.

Yongryeol
«Though I’m a new employee now, I aspire to create groundbreaking products that will drive Hanwha Vision‘s future growth. I’m determined to keep this passion for innovation alive, ensuring my ideas contribute to Hanwha Vision‘s global expansion through technological advancements. This way, I hope, one day I can showcase the innovative products that I’ve helped develop on the global stage at events like ISC WEST and CES.»
Nahyeong
«I aim to be a ‘productivity revolutionary’ who leads innovation across teams and departments. The Hanwha Vision Open Platform’s tester tool I’ve been developing since my internship is the starting point. My goal is to maximize the efficiency of AF developers, resolve development bottlenecks, and elevate Hanwha Vision‘s technological capabilities.”
Yewon
«I want to become an indispensable asset to the team. My first goal is to earn the trust that says, ‘If Yewon is on it, we can rely on it.’ Furthermore, I want to innovate our workflow using AI technology and play a key role in shaping Hanwha Vision‘s future strategy. I’m committed to ensuring my analysis and proposals serve as a vital foundation for Hanwha Vision‘s strategic direction.»
JaeSung
«I aspire to become a ‘technology master’ who fully understands the complex world of camera circuitry, leading Hanwha Vision‘s hardware development. My goal is to maximize development efficiency by quickly and accurately resolving unexpected issues, and ultimately become the hardware PL for device development projects that boast the best performance in the market. I want to create products that elicit praise like, ‘How can such insane performance be achieved at this price?’ and contribute to establishing Hanwha Vision as an icon of innovation.»
