Job Description
As part of the Network Advanced Manufacturing Engineering team, the Vision Systems Engineer III will help develop and scale next generation vision inspection capabilities across the manufacturing network. This role will serve as a technical leader for offline vision inspection, initially focused on the Matroid platform, translating emerging technology into practical, scalable manufacturing solutions.
This is not a traditional sustaining engineering role. The successful candidate will operate at the intersection of manufacturing, automation, software, and data, developing new technical capabilities and establishing approaches that can be deployed across multiple sites. The role requires curiosity, technical versatility, and the ability to move from an undefined problem to a robust solution while building the knowledge and standards that allow others to succeed.
Location: On-site in Logan, UT. Relocation assistance is NOT provided.
A Day in the Life
Education
Bachelor's degree in engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Automation, or a related technical discipline.
Experience
3 to 5 years of relevant technical engineering experience. Strong candidates may come from machine vision, automation, manufacturing systems, controls, systems integration, software development, or similar technical disciplines.
Experience in several of the following areas is beneficial, but candidates are not expected to have experience in all of them:
Knowledge, Skills, Abilities
This role requires a strong systems thinker who enjoys solving problems that cross traditional engineering boundaries. The successful candidate must be able to learn unfamiliar technologies quickly, recognize where additional capability is needed, and draw from previous experience to develop solutions when an established playbook does not yet exist.
The engineer must be comfortable with ambiguity, hands on technical work, and evolving responsibilities. Success will require strong cross functional collaboration, technical ownership, and the ability to influence and coordinate work across sites and disciplines without relying on formal authority.
We offer competitive remuneration, annual incentive plan bonus scheme, healthcare, company 401k, and a range of employee benefits! Thermo Fisher Scientific offers employment with an innovative, forward-thinking organization, and outstanding career and development prospects. We offer an exciting company culture that stands for integrity, intensity, involvement, and innovation.
