Are you a hands-on engineer ready to bring AI to life on the factory floor?
I'm working with a leading UK-based automation provider that's deploying cutting-edge AI vision systems across food manufacturing environments. They're looking for a practical, technically skilled Applications Engineer to help roll out advanced machine learning solutions in fast-paced, high-speed production settings.
This is a field-based, high-impact role-you'll be working on real production lines, replacing manual inspection tasks with smart, real-time image analysis.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Innovative Technology: Be at the forefront of deploying next-gen AI vision systems in the food industry.
- Real-World Impact: Your work directly improves quality, reduces waste, and enhances food safety and traceability.
- Project Ownership: Take the lead on deployments while working alongside a highly experienced engineering team.
What You'll Be Doing
- Designing and implementing machine vision inspection systems using AI/ML tools.
- Running trials and developing proof-of-concepts to validate deep learning models in real environments.
- Programming and configuring PLCs and SCADA systems.
- Installing, commissioning, and supporting automation systems on customer sites.
- Documenting solutions-creating clear functional design specs and support manuals.
- Acting as the technical lead during deployments and customer troubleshooting
- Supporting the wider automation team in delivering integrated project solutions.
- Conducting feasibility studies for customer-specific machine vision challenges.
What We're Looking For
- Experience in machine vision, automation, or similar engineering roles.
- Hands-on experience deploying machine vision or image analysis systems in industrial or research environments.
- Comfortable working with AI/ML platforms or deep learning-based vision tools.
- Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills in production environments.
- Excellent communication skills and ability to liaise with operators and engineers.
- Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel extensively (50%+ UK-wide).
What's on Offer
- Company vehicle
- Flexible working arrangements
- 25 days holiday plus public holidays (option to buy/sell up to 5 days)
- Company pension scheme
- Death in service benefit
- Ongoing professional development (fees covered)
- Access to Smart Health: 24/7 GP, mental health support, and wellbeing services
