Vision Inspection & IoT Solutions Engineer

The Digital Innovation Division within the Digital Manufacturing Unit is looking for a Vision Inspection / loT Solution Engineer for a Global Automotive Company in Raymond, OH. This role requires 5 days onsite.
The engineer will work closely with vision professionals to implement, configure, and support machine vision systems used in vehicle manufacturing. This role combines hands-on work on the plant floor with technical configuration, automation integration, and programming.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the implementation and maintenance of vision inspection systems across manufacturing plants.
• Assist with smart camera setup, configuration, and calibration.
• Adjust and optimize cameras, lighting, and automation triggers used in inspection systems.
• Connect cameras to PLCs and plant automation systems, enabling communication between inspection systems and manufacturing equipment.
• Support operational technology (OT) systems including automation, networking, and industrial controls.
• Assist in developing and deploying digital manufacturing and smart factory solutions.
• Work closely with engineers and plant teams to test, deploy, and maintain new vision and IoT technologies.
• Perform both:
  • Hands-on work on the production floor (camera setup, hardware adjustments)
  • Computer-based work (configuration, programming, system monitoring).

Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience in manufacturing, automation, controls engineering, machine vision, or industrial systems.
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or related field (Electrical, Controls, Systems, Computer Science, Data Science, or similar) highly preferred.
• Experience implementing vision solutions in Python.
• Experience with predictive analytics: vibration, audio, or current signature analysis.
• Proficiency with computer vision algorithms: segmentation, morphology, pose estimation, camera calibration, image enhancement, feature extraction, classification, 3D vision, and deep learning.

Bonus Skillset:

• Experience with machine vision systems or inspection technologies.
• Familiarity with industrial PLC platforms (Mitsubishi, Rockwell, Siemens, or Omron).
• Exposure to computer vision or image processing techniques.
• Experience implementing vision solutions using platforms such as Cognex, Keyence, HALCON, or similar systems.
• Experience working with machine data, sensors, or industrial IoT solutions.

Details:

• 5 days onsite
• 12-month contract to start
• Potential for conversion to full-time based on performance
