Responsibilities

• Develop cutting edge solutions in artificial intelligence and machine learning applications for smart manufacturing.
• Implement and adapt deep learning architecture and the goal to land the factory test stations with a focus on automatic optical inspection solutions for production lines from New Product Introduction (NPI) to Mass Production (MP) stage.
• Understand and debug the computer vision or image processing algorithms to investigate camera or assembly failures.
• Perform failure analysis of the build data (e.g., yield, overkill, escape rate) to improve the detection algorithm accuracy and stabilize station hardware setup involving camera optics and lighting conditions.
• Work with Original Design Manufacturer (ODM), Joint Development Manufacturer (JDM) and Contract Manufacturer (CM) partners to maintain the full test station including both hardware and software to production lines.
