Role Purpose

 

You will be responsible for developing and implementing advanced measurement systems that utilize optical metrology and machine vision technologies to support product inspection, quality control, and manufacturing operations. You will interface with cross-functional teams to ensure the successful deployment and maintenance of these systems.

 

Key Responsibilities

 

• Design, build, and test measurement systems incorporating optical metrology and machine vision techniques
• Develop and implement image processing algorithms for feature extraction, classification, and metrology
• Train and deploy machine learning models to enhance measurement system performance
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Development, Quality, IT, Operations) to define requirements and integrate systems into manufacturing workflows
• Transfer technology from early-stage development to production-ready solutions
• Create and update documentation, including system specifications, operating procedures, and software manuals
• Train engineering, maintenance, and operations teams on the use and maintenance of deployed systems
• Troubleshoot and optimize measurement systems, both remotely and onsite, using data analysis and performance metrics

 

Must be available for significant travel, primarily domestic, to multiple locations to support business needs. International travel could be required as well.

 

Required Education 

 

• Prefer BS, MS, or PhD in Optical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related fields
• Hands-on experience with optical systems, imaging hardware, and measurement instruments
• Strong programming skills in Python and/or C# for data manipulation and system integration
• Knowledge of machine vision algorithms (blob analysis, edge detection, morphology, feature extraction, classification, etc.)
• Experience with machine learning techniques, including training CNNs and utilizing traditional methods
• Data retrieval, plotting, and analysis using tools like Excel, MATLAB, or Python
• Familiarity with software development tools such as Halcon, OpenCV, or LabVIEW
• Strong communication and presentation skills (MS Office programs)

 

Desired Experiences

 

• Expertise in optical metrology techniques, including 3D measurement, lasers, and physical optics
• Experience with motion control systems and imaging platforms
• Knowledge of statistical analysis and process improvement methodologies (e.g., design of experiments)
• Familiarity with database management and high-performance computing systems
• Experience supporting manufacturing operations with metrology and inspection systems
