Machine Vision & Deep Learning Integrator
"Enabling clients to produce a quality product & gather data with
Industrial Machine Vision & Deep Learning technology"
Careers & Internships
We are a full-service industrial machine vision integrator with a primary focus on PC-based systems serving NC, SC, and VA. We integrate a full suite of vision technologies including Cognex products and MvTec Halcon and provide industrial vision solutions for inspection, identification, guidance, 3D vision, and image-based deep learning.
Strategically Agile and Tactically Flexible Teams
We are seeking to build 4 person cross-trained units that execute projects from start to finish. Although, your educational background may be focused in a single discipline of engineering, physics, applied math, computer science, etc, a resourceful individual that is seeking to be a continuous learner will enjoy the challenges we have to offer.
If you're looking to run your game at a higher level, expand your skillsets, and work with a small, committed team that wants to rise above the status quo, consider applying to a position with us.
This temp position is open to any current FRC or FTC high school robo club members and CS/Eng/Math university students located in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area.
As deep learning projects come up, we reach out to a list of candidates that wish to participate. You will be provided training and 500 - 2500 images to process within a 2-3 week window. Process as many as you would like, with a minimum of 250 images. Batch sizes range from 250 - 500 images.
Processing images
- Review the image for features or anomalies
- Draw an ROI around the feature
- Paint the feature
- Choose a descriptor from a list that best identifies the feature or anomaly
Key Requirements
- Attention to Detail
- Ability and bandwidth to meet the work requirements window
- Signed NDA
Compensation
- Paid per image, median processing time works out to ~15/hr.
- Individuals that are faster will earn more, those will average out to less per hour.
Per state mandate on piece work:
- Average hourly rate can not be below minimum wage
- More than 40 hours clocked in a single week, will be subject to overtime rules
Are you an engineer who likes integrating lights/optics, microprocessors, and programming applications that interact with cameras, sensors, and servos? Do you have undergrad classes in optics, computer science, and engineering?
Do you see the stuff people are doing with OpenCV, Tensor Flow, or Intel RealSense and think that's really cool?
Do you want to play with similar hardware but at the industrial level?
Do you want to see how stuff is made? Everything from ice cream to diesel engines to medical devices?
Consider stepping into a career in Industrial Machine Vision & Deep Learning Integration.
We are recruiting for an imaging specialist with courses in optics, imaging, and computer vision. Graduates of bachelor's and master's programs are welcome to apply.
