Job Description

We are looking for a Hardware Engineer to join our team in Boston, Massachusetts and support the design and deployment of machine vision hardware solutions for industrial applications. This role is ideal for someone with a mechanical engineering foundation who enjoys translating real-world operating conditions into practical camera, lighting, and system configurations. You will work closely with internal teams and customers to improve imaging performance, document deployment standards, and help validate reliable hardware setups for both pilot programs and production environments.

Job Responsibility

  • Assess customer environments by reviewing operating conditions such as motion, available space, lighting variability, and mounting limitations to determine effective vision system setups
  • Develop hardware recommendations that align with application needs, including cameras, lenses, illumination components, compute platforms, and network connectivity equipment
  • Refine camera placement, lighting approach, and viewing angles to improve defect detection and overall imaging quality across different use cases
  • Create clear technical documentation such as configuration records, wiring layouts, setup instructions, and deployment diagrams to support repeatable installations
  • Support hands-on testing and qualification activities to confirm hardware performance, durability, and reliability before broader rollout
  • Visit customer sites as needed to assist with installation planning, validate hardware selections, and troubleshoot field performance issues
  • Define hardware use cases for industrial automation environments, including scenarios that may involve integration with programmable logic controllers
  • Partner with cross-functional teams to identify vision-related issues, propose corrective hardware changes, and optimize system designs for production demands

Requirements

  • At least 2 years of experience working with hardware design, configuration, or deployment in an industrial or technical environment
  • Mechanical engineering background, ideally supported by a completed degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related discipline
  • Experience with machine vision or image-based inspection systems, including an understanding of cameras, lenses, and lighting behavior
  • Ability to produce technical diagrams or CAD-based layouts for hardware configurations, mounting concepts, or wiring plans
  • Familiarity with industrial cameras, LED lighting solutions, and supporting compute hardware used in vision applications
  • Knowledge of image processing concepts and how hardware decisions affect inspection quality and system performance
  • Comfortable working in a hybrid setting with regular time in the Cambridge, Massachusetts office and occasional travel to customer locations

What we offer

  • medical, vision, dental, and life and disability insurance
  • 401(k) plan
  • free online training
