Manufacturing Vision Engineer / Machine Vision Engineer - Industrial Automation
Location: Sheffield, South Yorkshire Department: Manufacturing Automation Employment: Full-time
Overview:
We are currently recruiting for our client in Sheffield, for a Manufacturing Engineer that has experience of getting involved in building machine vision systems behind next-generation green hydrogen manufacturing. This is an exciting role that would suit a hands-on Machine Vision Engineer, Vision Systems Engineer, Automation Engineer or Manufacturing Engineer with hands-on experience of industrial vision, automated inspection and production equipment?
The Role:
The role will work with machine vision cameras, optics, lighting, image processing, Automated Optical Inspection (AOI), Data Matrix/DMC identification and PLC-controlled automation, helping ensure our production equipment can consistently detect defects, identify products and capture the data required for quality and traceability. This role will also play an important role in introducing new manufacturing equipment, supporting NPI and production ramp-up, troubleshooting vision systems and establishing robust, repeatable vision standards across multiple machines and production areas. The role will be joining a manufacturing organisation where automation, inspection and industrialisation are critical to scaling production. This is an opportunity to have genuine technical ownership: you'll help determine how machine vision is integrated into production equipment, solve real manufacturing problems and develop inspection solutions that need to work reliably in a live production environment.
Duties & Responsibilities:
Lead the integration and commissioning of industrial machine vision systems into automated manufacturing equipment and production lines. Configure and optimise machine vision cameras, lighting, optics and image-processing systems to achieve reliable and repeatable defect detection. Develop and implement Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) solutions for manufacturing applications. Integrate vision systems with PLC-controlled machinery and industrial automation systems. Support the installation, setup, commissioning and ramp-up of new manufacturing equipment. Translate manufacturing and quality requirements into practical vision inspection specifications and system configurations. Troubleshoot machine vision problems including image quality, lighting, camera setup, detection performance, communications and system integration. Work with equipment suppliers, machine builders and automation engineers to specify, validate and improve vision systems. Implement and maintain standards for machine vision, inspection and DMC/Data Matrix identification across multiple machines and production areas. Support NPI and industrialisation activities by ensuring vision and inspection systems are production-ready. Ensure vision data is captured correctly and made available to MES, traceability and downstream manufacturing systems. Drive continuous improvement of inspection capability, system reliability, repeatability and manufacturing robustness.
