The Manufacturing Engineer – Vision Systems is responsible for working in collaboration with NPI, Quality, Automation, and Operations teams to lead process ownership for machine vision, automated optical inspection (AOI), and AI-enabled inspection systems used in high-speed cable assemblies and backplane systems — supporting NPI, process transfer, production ramp, and stable mass production.

Responsibilities:
Own manufacturing readiness and ongoing performance for assigned inspection processes, including camera and lens selection, lighting, optics, image acquisition, fixturing, algorithms, defect libraries, acceptance criteria, equipment integration, validation, and documentation.
Define, develop, validate, release, and maintain inspection recipes, camera positions, field of view, resolution, lighting methods, image-processing parameters, defect classifications, and thresholds for connectors, cable routing, terminals, welds, labels, shielding, and assembly presence.
Lead design-for-inspection reviews focused on feature visibility, contrast, access, orientation,



tolerance definition, defect detectability, and fixture repeatability.
Specify, qualify, install, and support cameras, lenses, lighting, vision controllers, motion systems, robotics, fixtures, reject mechanisms, and poka-yoke devices; coordinate suppliers, FAT/SAT, calibration, and preventive maintenance.
Develop DOE and validation plans to confirm detection capability, repeatability, reproducibility, false reject and false accept rates, and process capability.
Provide hands-on engineering support during EVT, DVT, PVT, pilot, ramp, and mass production builds, including system setup, recipe development, image tuning, false-call reduction, and rapid corrective-action closure.
Lead investigation and correction of missed defects, false calls, image instability, lighting variation, fixture misalignment, software faults, and equipment downtime using 8D, 5-Why, Fishbone, DOE, and statistical methods.
