Integro’s Vision Systems Architect (VSA) is a member of the vision systems solutions team. The solutions team provides pre-sales qualification and specification bridging to post-sales engineering activity. The VSA participates in the application analysis and architecture specification of unique system opportunities presented to Integro for potential implementation and collaborates with sales and engineering teams.
As part of the process, the VSA helps evaluate diverse components and software options to demonstrate and report on the degree of feasibility anticipated for the technological implementation of defined imaging and analysis tasks within a specific automation environment. The solutions team is responsible for defining the imaging, software, and general mechatronic architecture of the system, and developing a system Functional Specification which subsequently will be used in the design and integration of the final system for delivery to a customer.
The VSA will work with imaging components including optics, illumination, cameras, imaging systems, robots, motion systems, and more, and, will develop preliminary code and configure imaging software and libraries to validate vision system capability. The work will be primarily in Integro’s vision lab but will also include on-site presence.
The Vision Systems Architect position at Integro is targeted for candidates with mid- to high-level expertise in machine vision/computer vision in an industrial setting. Those with mid-level experience will benefit from expert ongoing training and mentoring in machine vision and related automation technologies.
The Vision Systems Architect reports directly to the Principal Vision Systems Architect.
