• Develop and deploy vision solutions using platforms such as Cognex, Keyence, Matrox, and LMI
• Coordinate with production and engineering teams to troubleshoot faults and improve inspection
reliability and throughput
• Work with robot integration (Fanuc, Yaskawa, or similar) for automated inspection or
teach-and-playback workflows
• Document vision system performance (false positive/negative rates, cycle time, throughput) and
drive continuous improvement
Qualifications:
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, or related field
• 3 years of hands-on machine vision integration experience in an industrial/manufacturing setting
• Experience with at least one major vision platform (Cognex, Keyence, Matrox, or LMI)
• Working knowledge of PLC platforms (Siemens TIA Portal and/or Allen-Bradley/Studio 5000)
• Familiarity with industrial robotics (Fanuc, Yaskawa) is a strong plus
• Experience in automotive manufacturing (EV battery, body shop, or general assembly) preferred
• Strong troubleshooting skills and comfort working on-site during commissioning and ramp-up
• Python or C scripting experience a plus (e.g., automated inspection workflows)
Preferred Certifications:
• A3 Certified Vision Professional (CVP) or equivalent
• Relevant OEM-specific standards training (e.g., GM PLC standards)
Additional Information:
This role requires regular travel to customer sites and may include work on manufacturing floors,
