Job Description
Duration: 12 Months Experience:
An engineering position in the Environmental Technologies Division Engineering Measurements & Controls group that includes development, assembly, testing and deployment of optical and computer vision-based measurement systems in support of the metrology, inspection and testing of products. Work as part of a team to manage the transfer of technology from development to manufacturing.
Key Responsibilities - 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.
- Transfer technology from early-stage development to a product suitable for use in manufacturing.
- Leverage external suppliers for key technologies or core competencies such as system integration.
- Define Scopes of Work, competitively quote when appropriate, issue Purchase Orders, track supplier work and approve invoices.
- Design experiments and analyze data to identify and implement improvements to measurement systems or production processes.
- Create/update documentation for release to production including Machine Specifications, operating procedures and drawing packages.
- Train engineering, maintenance and operations people how to use and maintain measurement systems.
- Provide remote and onsite troubleshooting using data and performance analysis of the installed systems.
Required Qualifications - 3+ years of hands-on experience with machine vision and metrology equipment; or PhD in one of these fields.
- Optical measurements system development (optics, lighting, cameras, image acquisition, image analysis, laser, 3D measurement)
- Fundamental knowledge of physical optics (principles of optics)
- Knowledge of image processing algorithms (blob analysis, edge finding, morphology, feature extraction, classification, metrology)
