Job description

We’re looking for a Senior Machine Vision Engineer to lead development of real-time image processing and embedded AI models for our visual flame detectors. You'll work at the intersection of computer vision, embedded systems, and regulatory compliance.

Key responsibilities

• Develop and optimise real-time vision algorithms in embedded C/C++.
• Work with near-IR camera sensors to classify flame characteristics.
• Integrate fixed, certifiable AI models (no runtime learning).
• Ensure determinism and reproducibility under certification constraints.
• Evaluate and test model performance under varied lighting and scene conditions.
• Collaborate with software, hardware, and certification teams.

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong experience in embedded machine vision (C/C++, Linux, image pipelines).
• Hands-on with near-IR, CMOS, or similar imaging systems.
• Knowledge of AI/ML for vision — fixed CNNs, shape tracking, segmentation.
• Understanding of real-time and memory-constrained processing.

Preferred Qualifications

• Degree or MSc in Computer Vision, Embedded Systems, or related discipline.
• Experience with safety-critical product development.
• Familiarity with IEC 61508 or other certification-related standards.
