Inspection Tech Manufacturing Quality Engineer

As an InTech MQE, your role with be to co-work with suppliers to design inspection equipment, build it and deploy it in production environment. You will explain not just how to build a solution or models to answer problems, but how to deploy models. These systems will be responsible for judgement of millions of units per day in a challenging mechanical part manufacturing environment. There is a bit of being like a start-up where you ll occasionally have to wear multiple hats - sometimes you ll need to be a technical project manager, other time you ll need to deep dive into databases, while at other times you ll need to work with optics improvements to be able to see part cosmetic defects consistently so that you can then drive inspection and Machine learning advancements. You will be required to balance technical requirements while effectively managing collaborations with vendors to maintain schedule and ramp dates.

Minimum Qualifications

• 4+ years experience applying computer or machine vision or machine learning techniques to build models that are deployable into a manufacturing environment
• Software development skills
• Knowledge of basic networking concepts and protocols, e.g.: TCP/IP, HTTP, etc.
• Experience with 2D/3D triangulation laser system and/or CCD inspection system such as Halcon, Keyence, Cognex, and/or Visco
• Familiar with mechanical metrology system qualification process, such as GRR, Correlation, Stability and Reliability
• Understanding of optics, image acquisition, software filtering and judgment algorithms.
• Basic understanding of manufacturing processes (i.e. CNC, modeling, laser welding, etc)
• Intermediate knowledge of automation including system layout, architecture, and cycle time optimization for optical, motion and mechanical systems
• Ability to Travel approximately 25-50% of the time, sometimes internationally
• Must have strong interest and understanding of technical details whilst simultaneously have a firm grasp of the bigger picture as it relates to overall final product quality
• Being hands-on, Creative and collaborative will be key in excelling in this role. Proficient use of English both written and oral

Preferred Qualifications

• Basic exposure to GD&T, data analysis, metrology
• Demonstrated technical skills in Machine or Computer Vision as well Machine Learning (CNNs, object detection)
• Proficiency with Python, CLI, Linux and Unix shell scripting
• Experience with cloud computing platforms AWS and deployment tools like docker
• Experience building Software ML solutions - all the way from inception to production. Proficiency in Python is preferred.
• Experienced user of machine learning and statistical-analysis libraries, such as Turi Create, PyTorch, Keras, Scikit-learn, SciPy.
• Ability to explain and present analyses and machine learning concepts to a broad technical audience.
• Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Systems Design, Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience. MS/ME or PhD is a plus
