Machine Vision Engineer (Industrial Automation)

Project overview

Contract role based in Sanand for a 6–9 years Machine Vision Engineer to design, configure, deploy, and support industrial vision inspection solutions for manufacturing/quality applications. The role covers camera/lighting/lens setup, image processing for measurement/defect detection/OCR/barcodes/traceability, and integration with PLC/SCADA/MES and robots using industrial protocols (EtherNet/IP, Profinet, OPC-UA, Modbus TCP).

Involves commissioning (FAT/SAT), troubleshooting/root-cause analysis, performance optimization, and maintaining technical documentation and compliance with quality/safety standards in automotive/EV/battery manufacturing environments.

Responsibilities

• Design, configure, and deploy industrial machine vision solutions for manufacturing and quality inspection applications.
• Develop vision inspection strategies for automated production lines, robotic cells, assembly stations, and end-of-line testing systems.
• Configure cameras, lighting systems, sensors, lenses, vision controllers, and image acquisition systems.
• Develop image processing algorithms for inspection, measurement, defect detection, OCR/OCV, barcode reading, and traceability.
• Integrate machine vision systems with PLCs, SCADA, MES, robots, and manufacturing equipment.
• Configure communication protocols such as Ethernet/IP, Profinet, OPC-UA, Modbus TCP/IP, and industrial networking standards.
• Support integration with robot-guided vision applications and automated quality control systems.
• Collaborate with controls and automation teams during commissioning and startup activities.
• Implement automated inspection systems for
• Dimensional verification
• Surface defect detection
• Assembly validation
