Serve as the technical lead and subject matter expert for machine vision applications across multiple automation projects.

Review customer specifications and define machine vision solutions for inspection, measurement, identification, guidance, and quality verification applications.

Develop, configure, optimize, and validate 2D and 3D machine vision systems using industry-leading hardware and software platforms.

Select and specify cameras, lenses, lighting, optics, controllers, industrial computers, mounting hardware, communication devices, and supporting components.

Conduct feasibility studies, proof-of-concepts, design of experiments, and application testing to verify performance, robustness, and cycle-time requirements.





Coordinate machine vision deliverables with project managers, mechanical designers, controls engineers, robotics specialists, PLC developers, manufacturing teams, and installation personnel.

Communicate directly with customers to clarify inspection criteria, acceptance requirements, cycle-time expectations, part presentation methods, and system interfaces.

Coordinate with suppliers and subcontractors regarding technical solutions, quotations, lead times, and project deliverables.

Assist estimating and proposal teams by developing preliminary concepts, technical risk assessments, hardware selections, and project scope assumptions.

Develop and maintain machine vision standards, best practices, test plans, setup documentation, operating procedures, and project closeout documentation.

Support vision programming, troubleshooting, integration, commissioning, validation, and production launch activities.

Provide technical support throughout the entire project lifecycle.

Travel to customer and supplier locations throughout Canada, the United States, and Mexico, as required.
