- Create bills of materials, wiring diagrams, configuration documents, and installation procedures
- Participate in customer site assessments, installations, commissioning, and production validation
- Partner with computer vision, software, and deployment engineers
Required Experience
- 5+ years of professional experience in machine vision, hardware engineering, industrial automation, or systems integration
- Direct, hands-on experience deploying industrial cameras in manufacturing environments
- Strong understanding of cameras, lenses, lighting, image acquisition, GPUs, and edge computing
- Experience evaluating factors such as line speed, vibration, ambient lighting, available space, and mounting constraints
- Experience designing or implementing mounts, enclosures, and physical hardware configurations
- Ability to troubleshoot across hardware, networking, cameras, and industrial systems
- Willingness to travel to customer manufacturing sites when required
Candidates whose experience is limited to academic projects, consumer cameras, theoretical optical work, or software-only computer vision will not be considered.
Nice to Have
- Experience with FLIR, Basler, Allied Vision, Teledyne, Cognex, or Keyence systems
- PLC, encoder, sensor, robotics, or industrial network integration
- NVIDIA GPUs and edge computing platforms
- Automated inspection or defect-detection systems
- High-speed manufacturing or production-line experience
Why Join?
- Own technically challenging industrial deployments
