## About the role

This is a hands on machine vision role for someone who wants to get deep, fast. You will split your time between the lab and live customer applications: evaluating a lens, optimizing a camera setup, building a proof of concept, troubleshooting an inspection that has to hold on a production line. The work moves from bench to factory floor in weeks, not quarters, and what you learn in the lab shows up directly in what we deploy.

## What they're looking for

- Required
- 1 to 3+ years in machine vision, computer vision, applications engineering, robotics, automation, manufacturing, or a related field
- Strong hands on grasp of machine vision fundamentals: cameras, lenses, optics, lighting, and image acquisition
- Familiarity with lens types and when to use them, including telecentric lenses
- Working understanding of AI based vision and how it differs from traditional rules based vision
- Familiarity with image labeling, model training, classification, object detection, and segmentation
