Description
Please Read Before Applying
5+ years in industrial machine vision and edge AI deployment
Proficiency in Python and C++ with ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow)
Experience integrating vision systems with PLCs and industrial protocols (OPC-UA, MQTT)
Hands-on Docker containerization and Kubernetes orchestration
Onsite in Georgetown, KY; able to travel internationally as needed
About the Role
A leading automotive manufacturer’s Manufacturing Innovation / Advanced Technology group is seeking an Advanced Technology Engineer to develop and deploy production-grade machine learning and computer vision models for industrial inspection across high-volume manufacturing lines. You will accelerate model development with synthetic data, deliver containerized software optimized for edge hardware, and integrate robust AI solutions into manufacturing systems to improve competitiveness.
Job Responsibilities
Design and implement computer vision models for defect detection, segmentation, and classification
Accelerate training cycles using synthetic data, active learning, and domain randomization
Package models/services with Docker and manage deployments through
Kubernetes or equivalent orchestration
Implement version control, rollback, and observability for latency, drift, and false-positive/negative metrics
Optimize inference for edge/embedded hardware (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson, Intel accelerators) for real-time moving-line inspection
Ensure consistent performance under varying lighting, optics, and surface conditions
Integrate vision systems with PLCs, encoders, triggers, and industrial networks using OPC-UA, MQTT, and REST
Align deployments with plant-level connectivity and reliability standards
Lead data collection campaigns, manage annotation workflows, and establish quality gates for validation
Ensure uptime via proactive monitoring, calibration (MSA), drift detection, and root cause analysis
Lead and manage projects from concept to launch (schedules, punch lists, milestones)
Collaborate across manufacturing centers, corporate technical/R&D centers, IT, and automation teams
