Job Type

Full Time On-site

Photonect is revolutionizing photonic interconnects through our proprietary adhesion-free, laser-based fiber-to-chip attachment technology.

We are seeking a Computer Vision / Machine Learning Engineer to develop and integrate vision-based intelligence into our laser processing and fiber-alignment systems.

This role will focus on building computer vision pipelines that enable precision alignment, automated inspection, process monitoring, and adaptive control within our photonic packaging equipment.

The ideal candidate enjoys working at the intersection of machine vision, robotics, optics, and hardware systems.

Design and implement computer vision algorithms for precision alignment, inspection, and monitoring of fiber-to-chip attachment processes.

Build ML models for automated quality control and anomaly detection.

Integrate vision systems with existing hardware platforms, motion stages, and control software.

Develop software interfaces between cameras, sensors, and machine control systems.

Optimize vision pipelines for real-time performance in manufacturing environments
.

Work closely with optical, mechanical, and electrical engineers to integrate vision solutions into product platforms.

Train and evaluate machine learning models for process monitoring and predictive analysis.

Improve system robustness under varying illumination, vibration, and environmental conditions.

This role does not have fixed requirements; candidates with relevant experience are encouraged to apply.
