Job Title:

Computer Vision Engineer / IoT Solutions Engineer Job Description This role sits within a digital innovation and manufacturing IoT group focused on developing and deploying advanced digital solutions that improve production efficiency, quality, and safety in a sustainable way. As a Computer Vision and IoT Solutions Engineer, you engage directly with plant-floor stakeholders to identify opportunities, prototype and test new concepts, and deliver reliable, production-ready solutions. You combine a creator mindset with strong technical rigor, staying current with digital technologies while carefully managing risk to ensure robust, high-value outcomes for manufacturing operations. Responsibilities Develop new digital technology solutions for manufacturing, including computer vision inspection systems and AI/machine learning analysis of machine and sensor data. Engage with regional plant-floor customers to understand their processes, identify improvement opportunities, and translate user and customer needs into technical solutions. Analyze manufacturing problems and align them with appropriate products, technologies, and architectures that deliver measurable value in efficiency, quality, and safety. Contribute to the definition and execution of the IoT strategy and roadmap for selected manufacturing domains and use cases. Monitor emerging digital and IoT technologies and assess their potential for future manufacturing projects and pilots. Support and implement analytical processes such as machine learning and advanced data analysis from proof-of-technology concepts through to deployed IoT projects. Extract, interpret, and utilize parameter data from machines to assess equipment health, verify proper operation, and understand impacts on product quality. Design, implement, and optimize computer vision algorithms, including segmentation, morphology, pose estimation, camera calibration, image enhancement, feature extraction, classification, 3D vision, and deep learning-based methods. Implement and integrate vision algorithms using tools such as C++, HALCON, Matrox, Cognex, and Keyence, leveraging both traditional rule-based approaches and deep learning techniques. Apply techniques such as vibration, audio, or current signature analysis to monitor machine condition and support predictive or prescriptive maintenance use cases. Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including controls engineers, data engineers, and plant operations personnel, to ensure successful deployment and adoption of IoT and vision solutions. Document solution designs, configurations, and best practices to support scalability, maintainability, and knowledge sharing across projects and sites. Essential Skills Bachelor's degree in engineering or an engineering-related field such as electrical engineering, controls, systems, computer science, data science, or equivalent experience. At least 2 years of experience in manufacturing equipment controls, network design, embedded systems, machine learning, and/or data engineering, preferably with a focus on the automotive industry. Strong understanding of manufacturing equipment controls and logic, with hands-on knowledge in at least one PLC platform such as Mitsubishi, Rockwell, Siemens, or Omron. Proficiency in understanding, extracting, and interpreting machine parameter data to evaluate machine health, operational performance, and effects on product quality. Solid knowledge of computer vision algorithms, including segmentation, morphology, pose estimation, camera calibration, image enhancement, feature extraction, classification, 3D vision, and deep learning techniques. Experience implementing computer vision algorithms in C++ and tools such as HALCON, Matrox, Cognex, and/or Keyence, using both traditional rules-based and deep learning approaches. Experience with vibration, audio, or current signature analysis for assessing machine condition and performance. Demonstrated ability to support and apply machine learning and analytical processes within IoT and digital manufacturing projects. Ability to engage effectively with plant-floor users and stakeholders to gather requirements, explain technical concepts, and drive solution adoption. Additional Skills & Qualifications Experience working with vision systems in industrial or manufacturing environments. Background or exposure to automotive manufacturing processes and standards. Familiarity with IoT architectures, connected devices, and edge-to-cloud data flows in a production setting. A creator mindset with curiosity about emerging digital technologies and a structured, risk-aware approach to deploying them in production. Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to translate complex manufacturing challenges into practical digital solutions. Effective communication and collaboration skills for working with cross-functional technical and operations teams. Work Environment This position operates within a digital manufacturing and IoT innovation environment closely connected to plant-floor operations. You work with industrial equipment, manufacturing control systems, and advanced vision systems while collaborating with production, engineering, and data teams.
