Job description

CEC Controls - A Scio Automation Company, is currently recruiting for a Vision Systems Applications Engineer in Wixom, MI. 

Vision applications engineers design and integrate machine vision systems in production facilities. 

Typical vision system uses cameras and specific lighting to perform the following: 

• Code Reading – Reading 1D and 2D codes marked directly on a part or label 
 • Error Proofing – Verifying the components are correctly assembled and are the correct type 
 • Gauging – Measuring parts and analyzing them to a specification or tolerance 
 • Robot Guidance – Guiding the pick/place of a part

In short, most machine vision applications involve taking a picture of a part or assembly and then using software tools on the camera image to measure or detect whether it is the correct part type, or if it has been assembled properly.

This position offers an opportunity to work for a leading integrator in the growing field of machine vision. 

The position includes full benefits (including medical, dental, and 401k match), vacation, and overtime opportunities.
