Job Description
STAFF SYSTEMS ENGINEER - Machine Vision Engineer
Posting Start Date: 1/22/26
At TE, you will unleash your potential working with people from diverse backgrounds and industries to create a safer, sustainable and more connected world.
Job Description:
**Job Overview**
• Lead the design and development of Machine Vision and Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) systems for high-density miniature connectors used in AI data centers.
• Own vision systems architecture, covering optics, illumination engineering, cameras, and inspection algorithms.
• Deliver high-speed inline inspection & measurement, optical measurement, and optical metrology solutions with micron-level accuracy.
• Drive scalable, modular, and state-of-the-art vision platforms from concept to production.
• Act as the system-level decision-maker for all vision and optical technologies.
**Key Responsibilities:**
**Vision System Architecture & AOI Design**
• Architect end-to-end Vision Systems for Automated Optical Inspection (AOI).
• Architect and implement real-time, automated vision-based quality inspection systems to detect defects early and prevent large-scale production issues.
• Define 2D and 3D inspection & measurement strategies using:
o 2D cameras, line scan cameras
o 3D cameras, structured light 3D cameras
• Apply Scheimpflug principle where required for tilted or uneven connector surfaces.
• Support inspection system architect responsibilities within the vision domain.
Optical System Design & Illumination Engineering
• Design and select optical systems considering working distance, depth of field, and field of view.
• Engineer illumination for reflective and fine-pitch connectors:
o Brightfield, darkfield, coaxial, dome, polarized lighting
• Optimize image quality using CMOS image sensors and industrial cameras.
**Vision Inspection & Image Processing**
• Develop and tune vision inspection and inspection algorithms for:
o Pin presence, coplanarity, pitch, deformation
o Surface defects, plating issues, contamination
• Implement image processing pipelines for high-speed inline inspection.
• Balance detection sensitivity with false-call reduction.
3D Measurement & Optical Metrology
• Implement 3D measurement, 3D inspection, and optical measurement techniques.
• Ensure metrology accuracy, repeatability, and traceability.
• Collaborate with motion systems to enable 3D metrology systems.
**System Integration & Production Deployment**
• Synchronize vision systems with precision motion and machine control.
• Ensure data quality, traceability, and analytics readiness.
• Support NPI, factory acceptance testing, and customer qualification.
**Mandatory:**
• MS or PhD in Computer Vision, Robotics, Machine Learning, or a related technical field or equivalent hands-on experience building and deploying inspection systems in real-world robotics applications.
• 8 to 10 years experience in Machine Vision, Vision Inspection, or AOI systems.
• Strong expertise in optical system design and illumination engineering.
• Hands-on experience with industrial cameras and image processing.
• Proven delivery of AOI systems in high-volume manufacturing.
**Nice to Have**
• Experience with optical metrology or 3D inspection systems.
• Background as an AOI Architect, Vision System Architect, or Inspection System Architect.
• Experience with high-speed connector, electronics, or semiconductor inspection.
