Overview
Electro-Mechanical Engineer – Computer Vision Systems
We are seeking an Electro-Mechanical Engineer with strong expertise in designing, integrating, and deploying computer vision–based inspection and automation solutions. The role combines mechanical design, electronics, sensors, and embedded systems with vision algorithms to deliver reliable, production-grade systems for industrial environments.
Responsibilities- System Design & Integration:
Design and integrate electro-mechanical systems incorporating cameras, lighting, sensors, actuators, PLCs, and motion control. Translate computer vision requirements into mechanical layouts, optics selection, and enclosure designs. Own end-to-end system architecture from concept through deployment and scale-up. - Computer Vision Solution Deployment:
Collaborate with data science / CV teams to deploy image processing and AI-based vision models in real-world environments. Select and configure cameras, lenses, lighting (structured, backlight, diffuse) based on inspection requirements. Optimize system performance for accuracy, latency, robustness, and throughput. - Controls, Electronics & Embedded Systems:
Design or integrate control systems using PLCs, industrial PCs, edge AI devices (NVIDIA Jetson, Intel OpenVINO, etc.). Interface vision systems with robotics, conveyors, pick-and-place systems, and industrial equipment. Support firmware and hardware bring-up, I/O mapping, and field troubleshooting. - Testing, Validation & Commissioning:
Conduct system calibration, validation, and acceptance testing in lab and production environments. Diagnose mechanical, electrical, and vision-related failures; implement corrective actions. Lead on-site installation, commissioning, and operator training. - Documentation & Continuous Improvement:
Create and maintain design documentation, wiring diagrams, SOPs, and maintenance guides. Drive continuous improvement for reliability, cost optimization, and scalability. Support transition from prototype to production and global rollout.
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electro-Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, or related field.
- 5+ years of experience in industrial automation, machine vision, or intelligent inspection systems.
- Strong understanding of mechanical design, electronics, sensors, and control systems.
- Hands-on experience with industrial cameras, optics, lighting, and image acquisition.
- Working knowledge of computer vision fundamentals (image processing, defect detection, classification).
- Mechanical CAD:
Solid Works, Creo, or equivalent - Vision & Imaging:
OpenCV, Halcon, Cognex, Keyence, or similar platforms - Hardware & Controls: PLCs (Siemens / Allen-Bradley preferred), motion controllers, industrial I/O
- Edge & Embedded:
Jetson, IPCs, ARM-based systems - Communication Protocols:
Ethernet/IP, Profinet, Modbus, OPC-UA
- Experience deploying AI/ML-based vision models in production environments
- Exposure to robotics integration (ABB, FANUC, UR, etc.)
- Knowledge of industrial safety standards and compliance
- Experience in high-speed manufacturing or quality inspection systems
