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 DoDesign and build machine-vision inspection stations from the ground upSelect and configure industrial cameras, lenses, lighting, sensors, and triggersDevelop and tune 2D and 3D inspection and measurement applicationsWork primarily with Keyence, with Cognex also highly relevantDevelop inspection logic using tools such as pattern matching, edge detection, blob analysis, OCR, and 2D code readingIntegrate vision results with PLCs, HMIs, and machine logicSupport platforms such as Allen-Bradley / Studio 5000, Beckhoff / TwinCAT, and SiemensCalibrate and validate vision systems for repeatable, high-uptime productionTroubleshoot camera, lighting, inspection, communication, and machine-integration issuesSupport root-cause analysis and corrective actionConnect inspection data to systems such as SCADA, MES, SQL, or Power BICreate test procedures, wiring diagrams, and calibration documentation JQF Fiber Optics Engineer CommS… JQF Fiber Optics Engineer CommS…What We're Looking For5+ years of hands-on automation / manufacturing engineering experienceStrong recent experience with industrial machine visionExperience personally selecting and configuring cameras, lenses, and lightingHands-on experience integrating vision systems with PLCs and automated equipmentStrong experience with Keyence or CognexExperience commissioning or troubleshooting vision systems in productionStrong understanding of image-processing fundamentalsAbility to work independently as the team's subject-matter expertStrong communication, curiosity, and collaborative problem-solving skillsStrongly PreferredKeyence 2D / 3D vision experienceCognex VisionPro / In-SightBeckhoff TwinCATAllen-Bradley / Studio 5000EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, Modbus, or ProfibusPython, C++, or C#SCADA / MES / SQL / Power BIExperience in medical device, electronics, packaging, automotive, battery/EV, semiconductor, pharma, or high-precision manufacturingWhat This Role Is - and Is NotThis 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 OpportunityYou'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…
