• Translate customer and project requirements into concrete vision system specifications, selecting cameras, optics, lighting, and algorithms
• Develop and optimize image-processing pipelines using platforms such as HALCON, OpenCV, or similar frameworks
• Integrate vision systems with PLCs, robots, and other automation equipment using industrial communication protocols
• Guide and mentor other engineers in the team, ensuring high technical standards and best practices
• Perform feasibility studies, prototype testing, calibration, and validation of new setups and technologies (e.g. 3D point cloud analysis, deep learning-based classification, or structured light systems)

You will join your Robotics & Vision Team consisting of 13 dedicated colleagues located at our HQ in Hedensted.
