Why Apply?
This is a genuinely high-impact position sitting at the critical junction between hardware, imaging, and AI performance. The role focuses on ensuring Automated Vehicle Inspection systems consistently capture high-quality, model-ready images across multiple sites. Working within a fast-growing, technology-led environment, you will directly influence AI accuracy, rollout quality, and real-world system reliability. This opportunity suits an engineer who enjoys hands-on problem solving and wants visible ownership of imaging standards at scale.

Responsibilities

• Design and standardise camera layouts including height, angle, field of view, and overlap for AVI units

• Configure camera parameters such as exposure, gain, shutter, focus, and frame rate

• Support new site deployments, upgrades, and on-site troubleshooting of imaging issues

• Identify and resolve problems caused by glare, shadows, reflections, vibration, or environmental factors

• Work closely with AI and ML teams to diagnose image-related performance issues

• Define and maintain version-controlled "known good" camera configurations

• Produce clear site documentation including diagrams, photos, and configuration notes

• Contribute to continuous improvement of installation standards and rollout playbooks

Requirements

• Hands-on experience with camera systems, CCTV, machine vision, or imaging hardware

• Strong understanding of optics, lighting, angles, and image quality fundamentals

• Proven experience configuring and troubleshooting cameras in real-world environments

• Comfortable working on-site within industrial, depot, or workshop settings

• Ability to clearly document technical setups

Desirable experience includes:

• Exposure to computer vision or AI-powered imaging systems

• Familiarity with AVI, ANPR, or vehicle inspection environments

• Understanding of how image quality impacts ML model performance

• Experience with platforms such as Basler, Hikvision, or Axis

• Basic networking knowledge including IP cameras, PoE, and switches

What's in it for me?

• Competitive salary package

• Hybrid and flexible working model

• High-visibility role with direct impact on AI performance

• Opportunity to shape imaging standards across a growing deployment footprint

• Collaborative environment working alongside AI and engineering specialists
