Senior Machine Vision Engineer

Shakopee, MN | 100% Onsite | 12-Month Contract | $60-$80/hr

We're supporting CommScope as they build a new generation of automated manufacturing equipment for a fiber-optic connector product driven by hyperscale AI data center demand.

This is a senior, hands-on industrial machine vision role for someone who has personally built and commissioned vision systems on production equipment. You'll serve as the team's go-to vision expert, owning inspection stations from concept through production. JQF Fiber Optics Engineer CommS…

What You'll Do

  • Design and build machine-vision inspection stations from the ground up
  • Select and configure industrial cameras, lenses, lighting, sensors, and triggers
  • Develop and tune 2D and 3D inspection and measurement applications
  • Work primarily with Keyence, with Cognex also highly relevant
  • Develop inspection logic using tools such as pattern matching, edge detection, blob analysis, OCR, and 2D code reading
  • Integrate vision results with PLCs, HMIs, and machine logic
  • Support platforms such as Allen-Bradley / Studio 5000, Beckhoff / TwinCAT, and Siemens
  • Calibrate and validate vision systems for repeatable, high-uptime production
  • Troubleshoot camera, lighting, inspection, communication, and machine-integration issues
  • Support root-cause analysis and corrective action
  • Connect inspection data to systems such as SCADA, MES, SQL, or Power BI
  • Create test procedures, wiring diagrams, and calibration documentation JQF Fiber Optics Engineer CommS… JQF Fiber Optics Engineer CommS…

What We're Looking For

  • 5+ years of hands-on automation / manufacturing engineering experience
  • Strong recent experience with industrial machine vision
  • Experience personally selecting and configuring cameras, lenses, and lighting
  • Hands-on experience integrating vision systems with PLCs and automated equipment
  • Strong experience with Keyence or Cognex
  • Experience commissioning or troubleshooting vision systems in production
  • Strong understanding of image-processing fundamentals
  • Ability to work independently as the team's subject-matter expert
  • Strong communication, curiosity, and collaborative problem-solving skills

Strongly Preferred

  • Keyence 2D / 3D vision experience
  • Cognex VisionPro / In-Sight
  • Beckhoff TwinCAT
  • Allen-Bradley / Studio 5000
  • EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, Modbus, or Profibus
  • Python, C++, or C#
  • SCADA / MES / SQL / Power BI
  • Experience in medical device, electronics, packaging, automotive, battery/EV, semiconductor, pharma, or high-precision manufacturing

What This Role Is - and Is Not

This is for a builder, not a software-only image analyst.

The ideal candidate has physically built vision stations and can walk through:

camera selection → lens → lighting → mounting → triggering → inspection logic → PLC integration → pass/fail / reject logic → calibration → production troubleshooting

Candidates focused primarily on computer-vision research, OpenCV analysis, AI perception, or image-processing software without hands-on machine integration will not be the strongest fit.

Why This Opportunity

You'll have direct ownership over the vision standard for a brand-new manufacturing line, rather than stepping into a mature system and maintaining someone else's work. The team currently needs a dedicated senior vision expert, so this role carries significant technical ownership and visibility. JQF Fiber Optics Engineer CommS…
