  • Integrate vision systems with:
    • PLCs (Allen Bradley / Siemens preferred)
    • Robots (Fanuc, ABB, KUKA, or similar)
  • Perform onsite commissioning and debug during system launch
  • Adjust scanner positioning, calibration, and lighting for optimal performance
  • Troubleshoot and resolve production downtime related to vision systems
  • Modify existing vision programs to improve reliability and cycle time
  • Support production and engineering teams during installation and launch phases
  • Document system configurations and updates
Required Qualifications
  • Experience programming 3D/machine vision systems (Photoneo experience preferred, but similar platform experience such as Keyence or Cognexwill be considered — training provided)
  • Experience with:
    • Industrial 3D scanner/camera setup & calibration
    • Robot-to-vision integration
  • Understanding of:
    • PLC communication (EtherNet/IP, Profinet, etc.)
    • Robot-guided bin picking or part localization concepts
  • Ability to read electrical schematics and layout drawings
  • Strong troubleshooting skills in live production environments
  • Experience in automotive or automated manufacturing preferred
Preferred Qualifications
  • Background in robotic assembly or bin-picking lines
  • Experience with:
    • FANUC iRVision
    • Keyence or Cognex vision platforms
  • Controls experience (PLC troubleshooting or minor edits)
  • Launch support experience
