Building robots that can tell a plastic bottle from a glass jar – and decide what to do about it – takes people who enjoy the unglamorous middle ground between computer vision research and getting something working reliably on a factory floor.
PICVISA is looking for a Junior Computer Vision Engineer to join the team building the intelligent robotics solutions behind ECOPICK and related products – work that sits at the intersection of machine vision research and real-world deployment.
The role involves working on the vision systems that let PICVISA's robots identify materials on a sorting line – training and refining models, and helping bridge the gap between a model that works in development and one that performs reliably in a working plant.
PICVISA develops optical sorting and robotics technology for the recycling industry, with development done in-house and equipment deployed in plants across multiple countries. The team works across machine vision, robotics and data analytics to build technology that performs in demanding industrial environments.
A background in computer vision, machine learning or a related field, with an interest in applying that knowledge to real industrial problems – the kind of role suited to someone early in their career who wants to see their work deployed and used, not just published.
Curiosity about how models behave outside the lab, comfort working with messy real-world data, and an interest in the practical side of getting computer vision systems to work reliably at scale.
