Senior Machine Vision Engineer

About the role

We’re looking for a Senior Machine Vision Engineer to lead development of real-time image processing and embedded AI models for our visual flame detectors. You'll work at the intersection of computer vision, embedded systems, and regulatory compliance.

Key responsibilities

Develop and optimise real-time vision algorithms in embedded C/C++.
Work with near-IR camera sensors to classify flame characteristics.
Integrate fixed, certifiable AI models (no runtime learning).
Ensure determinism and reproducibility under certification constraints.
Evaluate and test model performance under varied lighting and scene conditions.
Collaborate with software, hardware, and certification teams.

Required Skills & Experience

Strong experience in embedded machine vision (C/C++, Linux, image pipelines).
Hands-on with near-IR, CMOS, or similar imaging systems.
Knowledge of AI/ML for vision — fixed CNNs, shape tracking, segmentation.
Understanding of real-time and memory-constrained processing.

Preferred Qualifications

Degree or MSc in Computer Vision, Embedded Systems, or related discipline.
Experience with safety-critical product development.
Familiarity with IEC 61508 or other certification-related standards.
