  • Around 5+ years' experience in manufacturing engineering, industrialisation, NPI or manufacturing automation.
  • Proven hands-on experience with industrial machine vision, automated inspection or AOI systems.
  • Strong understanding of industrial cameras, optics, lighting, image acquisition and image processing.
  • Experience integrating vision systems into automated manufacturing machinery or production lines.
  • Experience working with PLCs and industrial automation systems.
  • Practical experience of commissioning, setting up, troubleshooting and optimising machine vision systems.
  • Experience working with machine builders, OEMs or equipment suppliers during equipment integration or commissioning.
  • Ability to translate manufacturing and quality requirements into effective vision inspection solutions.
  • Experience working in a production/manufacturing environment where system reliability, repeatability and uptime are important.

Desirable experience:

  • Experience with any of the following would be advantageous:
  • Automated Optical Inspection (AOI)
  • Data Matrix / DMC / 2D code identification
  • Barcode and traceability systems
  • MES integration
  • Industrial communications

  • Confident working with external machine builders and equipment suppliers.
  • Focused on making systems stable, repeatable, reliable and production-ready.
  • Comfortable taking ownership of technical problems and driving them through to resolution.
