What to Expect We are seeking a Vision Integration Engineer to join our Factory Software machine learning and computer vision team. In this role, you will be the hands-on bridge between our vision platform and the factory floor, deploying and integrating industrial camera systems, collecting high-quality datasets, and building models to solve real-world inspection challenges at scale. You will bring both depth in classical machine vision (optics, calibration, algorithm development) and fluency with modern ML-based inspection workflows. You will work closely with ML engineers, process engineers, and production teams to bring vision-based solutions from concept to full production. What You'll Do Install, configure, commission, and maintain industrial vision systems including cameras, lighting, optics, and mounting hardware across factory environments Perform camera calibration (intrinsic/extrinsic parameters, lens distortion, multi-camera geometry) to ensure system accuracy and repeatability Develop and optimize vision algorithms for defect detection, inspection, and anomaly detection using Python, C++, C#, or HALCON Perform on-site data collection campaigns, ensuring proper image capture, labeling, and dataset curation for model training and validation Build, train, and iterate on computer vision models using the factory vision platform Drive vision system reliability and uptime, tracking key metrics including cycle time, and quality yields Troubleshoot hardware and software integration issues across cameras, networking, compute modules, and platform connectivity Collaborate with ML engineers to define data requirements and validate model performance in production Work with process and production teams to identify new inspection use cases and translate operational needs into deployments What You'll Bring Degree in Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience 3+ years of hands-on experience with industrial vision systems in a manufacturing environment Strong knowledge of optics, lighting, and hardware selection, cameras, lenses, illumination, and image acquisition components Understanding of camera calibration: lens distortion, intrinsic/extrinsic parameters, multi-camera geometry Experience with image processing fundamentals (enhancement, thresholding, feature extraction) and computer vision concepts (object detection, segmentation, anomaly detection) Experience in developing vision software and algorithms and performing data analysis using languages and tools such as C#, Python, or HALCON Experience with model training workflows, dataset preparation, annotation, training, and evaluation Experience with linescan camera systems Strong troubleshooting skills and effective cross-functional communication in a fast-paced manufacturing environment Compensation and Benefits Benefits Along with competitive pay, as a full-time Tesla employee, you are eligible for the following benefits at day 1 of hire: Medical plans > plan options with $0 payroll deduction Family-building, fertility, adoption and surrogacy benefits Dental (including orthodontic coverage) and vision plans, both have options with a $0 paycheck contribution Company Paid (Health Savings Accounts) HSA Contribution when enrolled in the High-Deductible medical plan with HSA Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) 401(k) with employer match, Employee Stock Purchase Plans, and other financial benefits Company paid Basic Life, AD&D Short-term and long-term disability insurance (90 day waiting period) Employee Assistance Program Sick and Vacation time (Flex time for salary positions, Accrued hours for Hourly positions), and Paid Holidays Back-up childcare and parenting support resources Voluntary benefits to include: critical illness, hospital indemnity, accident insurance, theft & legal services, and pet insurance Weight Loss and Tobacco Cessation Programs Tesla Babies program Commuter benefits Employee discounts and perks program Expected Compensation $124,000 - $186,000/annual salary + cash and stock awards + benefits Pay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The total compensation package for this position may also include other elements dependent on the position offered.
