Job description

• Build an in-house inspection system

We are recruiting for a Vision Engineer to join a leading medical manufacturing company on an exciting project to develop a new in-house inspection system.

Own the development of a reliable automated inspection process for highly polished femoral components, where reflections, surface finish, positioning and variations in the manufacturing process can all affect what a vision system sees.

This is a genuine opportunity to build something from the ground up. Rather than stepping into an established system. You'll be developing the solution, understanding the manufacturing process behind it and integrating the technology into a live production environment.

Why You'll Love It Here

• You'll have genuine ownership over the development of a new in-house inspection capability.
• The project brings together automation, machine vision and manufacturing engineering, with plenty of scope to influence how the final solution is designed and implemented.
• It's a role where understanding the process is just as important as understanding the technology. The way a component is manufactured can directly affect how the vision application needs to work, meaning you'll be solving problems across the production process rather than simply configuring software.
• For someone who enjoys bespoke engineering challenges, this is an opportunity to take a complex inspection problem and turn it into a working production solution.

What You'll Be Doing

• Developing bespoke Cognex VisionPro applications for automated inspection
• Designing and building the in-house vision inspection system
• Developing the solution around the manufacturing process and its potential variations
• Integrating the vision system with PLCs, robotics, machinery and other automation equipment
• Troubleshooting and optimising the system within a live production environment
• Working closely with manufacturing and engineering teams throughout development
• Supporting commissioning and bringing the inspection system into production

What We're Looking For

• Strong hands-on experience with Cognex VisionPro
• Automation experience within a production/manufacturing environment
• Experience building bespoke or custom vision systems
• Strong systems integration experience
• An understanding of how manufacturing processes can influence vision applications
• A practical, hands-on approach to solving engineering problems
