Vision System Development Engineer, GSE Automation, Amazon Leo joins the Ground Support Equipment Automation team to develop automated pipelines for vision inspection and test applications within a satellite manufacturing facility. This role involves designing and implementing automated visual inspection systems using machine vision cameras, lighting, and image processing algorithms to detect production defects. The engineer will build test automation frameworks that interface with PLCs, sensors, and mechatronic fixtures while developing software for end-of-line validation. Key responsibilities include creating monitoring solutions, performing root cause analysis on false calls, and managing data traceability across the production floor. Required skills include proficiency in Linux/Unix environments and programming in languages such as Python, Ruby, Golang, Java, C++, C#, or Rust. The role addresses technical challenges in high-throughput manufacturing by integrating hardware, software, OT, and IT stacks to ensure reliable defect detection.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement automated visual inspection systems using machine vision cameras, lighting, and image processing algorithms.
  • Develop test automation software and frameworks that interface with PLCs, sensors, and mechatronic fixtures for end-of-line validation.
  • Build image processing pipelines and classification models to identify defects across various part geometries and surface conditions.
  • Architect scalable inspection and test system architectures to support high-throughput manufacturing lines with minimal cycle time impact.
  • Create monitoring, alarming, and reporting solutions for inspection health, yield trends, and defect analytics.
  • Implement calibration routines, golden sample validation, and statistical process controls to ensure inspection accuracy.
  • Lead technical troubleshooting and root cause analysis for false calls, test failures, and hardware integration issues.
  • Maintain technical documentation for test procedures, inspection recipes, and system configurations.

What we're looking for

  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or lawfully admitted refugee/asylee for export control compliance.
  • Must have a Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
