Mechanical Engineer III

Description

We are seeking a seasoned sensor design engineer to conceive develop prototype and deploy data-collection systems at scale. These systems will collect information about the products which will be used by machine learning/machine vision systems to guide robotic manipulation of objects among other applications. These data collection systems will be installed into various facilities across the network to capture the types and quantity of data needed to automate processes. Our team collaborates machine learning scientists fulfillment associates labeling teams field engineering and maintenance personnel and with a variety of customers.

The ideal individual will be comfortable with designing camera/optical systems of all types understanding critical optical technologies such as lens specification aberrations calibration color balance aperture exposure gain motion-induced blur lighting etc. Experience exploring other active and passive sensing modalities such as structured light stereo lidar radar x-ray infrared RFID is a plus. Experience with industrial measurement such as bar-code extraction text extraction dimensioning and weight in a manufacturing environment that includes automated conveyance and related safety controls.

You should be comfortable engaging with all types of customers ranging from executives to developers and warehouse operations staff. You should be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where delivery time for new products and features is typically measured in months. You are a self-starter with a commitment to team work who enjoys working with complex hardware and software systems is customer centric and thrives on the challenge of helping scientists as well as non-technical customers to achieve their goals.

Qualifications:

- BS degree in electrical engineering optics or vision systems

- 4 years experience in Hardware development such as developing digital optical / machine vision systems for industrial applications

- Strong interest and ability to learn customer requirements in the data collection space.

- Excellent oral and written communication skills

- Ability to develop data collection software sensor interface for experimental/prototyping purpose.

- Ability to design acquire and prototype sensing systems
