  • Constantly raise the bar for tight process controls and contribute to an unstoppable team as driven as you are!

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Develop and implement backbone vision software applications as a common platform to streamline deployment, management and scaling.
  • Collaborate across teams (manufacturing, production, flight design, build reliability, supply chain) to identify opportunities, propose and implement action items to improve manufacturing processes in a data driven way.
  • Develop and implement full-stack automated vision packages for robotic guidance, quality control and data collection for our manufacturing lines.
  • Test, optimize and qualify vision systems to guarantee compliancy with production standards to meet takt and accuracy requirements.
  • Own, maintain and upgrade existing systems to improve product quality and line efficiency.
