Industrial Vision & Automation Engineer

About the role

Harmattan AI is seeking an Industrial Vision & Automation Engineer to own industrial vision inspection across production lines. You will transition manual controls into robust inline inspections and establish the standard for vision programs in a greenfield environment. This role involves working closely with Industrialization, Quality, and Production teams to deliver mission-critical defense systems.

Responsibilities

• Build and own the industrial vision roadmap across our production lines, and defend the associated investments.
• Audit existing cameras and programs, then establish a measured baseline of escape and false reject rates.
• Develop and deploy vision programs on real parts, tuning optics, lighting, thresholds and Edge Learning tools.
• Integrate vision on automated stations with the automation team, including triggering, PLC/IO handshake and robot guidance.
• Deploy standalone camera programs on manual stations, along with the scripting and small tooling around them.
• Define and run the qualification framework (IQ/OQ/PQ) and trace every inspection into the control plan.
• Maintain a versioned and backed up program library, with clear documentation for every deployed inspection.
• Review rejected images daily with production, separating real defects from false rejects and unblocking stations.
• Partner with R&D on design for inspectability, and with Manufacturing Systems Engineering and IT on data and network handling.
