• Understanding of calibration, accuracy, repeatability, reproducibility, measurement uncertainty, and mechanical sources of variation in industrial environments
• Apply good engineering practices with appropriate considerations for alignments, calibrations, and optical design within a complex opto-mechanical system.
• Experience identifying technical risk, supporting project schedules, and driving assigned deliverables to completion

Desired Skills:

• Strong background integrating electrical and mechanical measurement, sensing, vision, and automation systems, including laser-based, displacement, force, temperature, interferometry, and chromatic-confocal technologies.
• Experience in optics, measurement, metrology and inspection systems
• Experience with rapid prototyping and development of measurement hardware, fixtures, tooling, instrumentation, sensors, or related algorithms
• Experience with industrial inspection platforms, PC-based measurement software, data acquisition, PLC/controls integration, industrial communications, and object-oriented programming.
• Knowledge of high-speed vision inspection and automated part handling for transparent glass in demanding hot/dirty manufacturing environments, ideally within GMP-regulated pharmaceutical, food and beverage, or medical-device industries.
• Advanced degree preferred in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mechanical Engineering, or Computer Science.
• Effective cross-functional leader and communicator who can manage suppliers and partners, explain complex technical systems to varied audiences, work through ambiguous objectives with urgency, and provide clear project communication throughout the system lifecycle.
