Overview
Are you a hands-on engineer ready to bring AI to life on the factory floor?
I'm working with a leading UK-based automation provider that's deploying cutting-edge AI vision systems across food manufacturing environments. They're looking for a practical, technically skilled Applications Engineer to help roll out advanced machine learning solutions in fast-paced, high-speed production settings.
This is a field-based, high-impact role—you'll be working on real production lines, replacing manual inspection tasks with smart, real-time image analysis.
Why This Role Stands Out
* Innovative Technology: Be at the forefront of deploying next-gen AI vision systems in the food industry.
* Real-World Impact: Your work directly improves quality, reduces waste, and enhances food safety and traceability.
* Project Ownership: Take the lead on deployments while working alongside a highly experienced engineering team.
What Youll Be Doing
* Designing and implementing machine vision inspection systems using AI/ML tools.
* Running trials and developing proof-of-concepts to validate deep learning models in real environments.
* Programming and configuring PLCs and SCADA systems.
* Installing, commissioning, and supporting automation systems on customer sites.
* Documenting solutions-creating clear functional design specs and support manuals.
* Acting as the technical lead during deployments and customer troubleshooting
* Supporting the wider automation team in delivering integrated project solutions.
* Conducting feasibility studies for customer-specific machine vision challenges.
What We\'re Looking For
* Experience in machine vision, automation, or similar engineering roles.
* Hands-on experience deploying machine vision or image analysis systems in industrial or research environments.
* Comfortable working with AI/ML platforms or deep learning-based vision tools.
* Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills in production environments.
* Excellent communication skills and ability to liaise with operators and engineers.
* Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel extensively (50%+ UK-wide).
What\'s on Offer
* Company vehicle
* Flexible working arrangements
* 25 days holiday plus public holidays (option to buy/sell up to 5 days)
* Company pension scheme
* Death in service benefit
* Ongoing professional development (fees covered)
* Access to Smart Health: 24/7 GP, mental health support, and wellbeing services
