An Optical or Laser Engineer researches and develops technology that uses the science of light (optics). Optical technology includes fiber optic cables, which enable high-speed internet connections across long distances, and lasers, which can be used to make very small incisions and measurements. Works closely with scientists and engineers from other fields on advances in technology.
Ø Work with a variety of cross functional groups (Development, Quality, IT, Purchasing, Operations) to define, develop and implement optical and computer vision-based measurement and instrumentation systems.
Ø Transfer technology from early-stage development to a product suitable for use in manufacturing.
Ø Leverage external suppliers for key technologies or core competencies such as system integration.
Ø Define Scopes of Work, competitively quote when appropriate, issue Purchase Orders, track supplier work and approve invoices.
Ø Design experiments and analyze data to identify and implement improvements to measurement systems or production processes.
Ø Create/update documentation for release to production including Machine Specifications, operating procedures and drawing packages.
Ø You will also be responsible for training engineering, maintenance and operations in how to use and maintain measurement systems.
Ø Provide remote and onsite troubleshooting using data and performance analysis of the installed systems.
Required Education & Experience:
BS, MS or PhD in Physics, Optics, ME, ECE or EE plus a minimum of 3 years of hands-on experience with machine vision metrology equipment.
Training or hands-on experience with vision systems is required.
Required Experience/Skills:
Ø 3+ years of experience in Computer vision system development (optics, lighting, cameras, image acquisition, image analysis, laser, 3D measurement)
Ø Fundamental knowledge of physical optics (principles of optics)
Ø Knowledge of image processing algorithms (blob analysis, edge finding, morphology, feature extraction, classification, metrology)
Ø Microsoft Visual Studio programming (C# and Python strongly preferred)
Ø Experience with machine learning and AI technologies, including CNNs.
Ø Systems Engineering and integration
Ø Digital Signal Processing
Ø Experience with electrical/optical/mechanical installations, including system checkout and troubleshooting
Ø Strong communication and presentation skills (MS Office programs)
Ø Data retrieval, plotting and analysis (primarily using Microsoft Excel)
Desired Experience/Skills:
Ø Experience with image processing development packages such as Halcon, Matrox Inspector, NI Vision, Cognex, Keyence, or Matlab image processing toolbox
Ø Experience with machine learning frameworks and libraries, such as TensorFlow or PyTorch.
Ø Control systems (PLCs)
Ø Process engineering knowledge. Experienced with design of experiments, statistical analysis and process improvement
Ø Experience with Metrology, Inspection and Product Quality in support of manufacturing
Ø Motion Control - ability to integrate motion on imaging platforms
Ø Computing - Familiar with high performance computing systems
Soft Skills:
Ø Ability to interact effectively with customers & coworkers as well as work independently.
Ø Effective communication
Ø You will need to be results oriented, a quick learner and be able to multi-task effectively.
