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 You''ll 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
