+ Develop and implement image processing algorithms for feature extraction, classification, and metrology.

+ Utilize novel computer vision and machine learning methods to perform object detection/classification tasks, such as segmentation and detection for production defects.

+ Lead the development of measurement solutions that are suitable for use in manufacturing and leverage external suppliers for key technologies or strengths such as system integration.

+ Work with a variety of multi-functional groups (Development, Quality, IT, Purchasing, Operations) to deliver effective solutions.

+ Design experiments and analyze data to identify and implement improvements to measurement systems or production processes.

+ Create and update documentation, including system specifications, operating procedures, research reports, software manuals, trade secrets, and intellectual property.

+ Train engineering, maintenance, and operations personnel to use and maintain measurement systems.

+ Troubleshoot and optimize measurement systems, both remotely and onsite, using data analysis and performance metrics.

+ Provide remote and onsite troubleshooting of production measurement systems.

+ Provide supervision of a laboratory and/or process as assigned; build trust across the project…
