## Description

As a Machine Vision Systems Engineer, you will be at the front end of the design, development, and deployment of custom machine vision systems within industrial automation projects. You will be responsible for ensuring these systems meet all technical specifications, adhere to industry standards, and satisfy customer requirements. This role requires close collaboration with engineering teams, vendors, and customers to deliver high-quality, production-ready solutions.
Responsibilities:
Work with customers and sales leadership to define the scope of machine vision projects.
Design the optical configurations for meeting inspection requirements within the constraints of the target environment.
Perform sample testing and POC's to verify designs.
Take ownership of the design and development of machine vision systems for custom industrial automation projects.
Conceptualize, design, and confirm technical specifications and bills of material for machine vision systems.
Provide oversight for equipment assessment, ordering, and verification, ensuring that final hardware and software meet customer needs.
Ensure that designs align with Catalyx and industry standards and meet all specified requirements.
Oversee and support the development, testing, and installation phases, ensuring systems are production-ready and meet design specifications.
Serve as the primary technical contact for machine vision system design, providing guidance in risk evaluation and technical matters.
Act as the escalation point for machine vision-related issues during the build, installation, and warranty phases.
Collaborate with engineering teams on procurement, training, and upskilling, and assist in sales technical meetings as needed.
Meet with vendors to confirm component selection and stay informed on new technologies in machine vision and control systems.
Analyze existing procedures, suggest improvements, and support the creation of design and technical documentation.
