Our Optical Communications segment has recently evolved from being a manufacturer of optical fiber and cable, hardware and equipment to being a comprehensive provider of industry-leading optical solutions across the broader communications industry.This segment is classified into two main product groupings – carrier network and enterprise network. The carrier network product group consists primarily of products and solutions for optical-based communications infrastructure for services such as video, data and voice communications. The enterprise network product group consists primarily of optical-based communication networks sold to businesses, governments and individuals for their own use.

Responsibilities:

• Design and develop vision-based measurement/inspection systems (hardware + software) for high-precision components.
• Build and optimize computer-vision algorithms (feature detection, segmentation, metrology) and deploy them in production-grade applications.
• Integrate vision systems with industrial automation (PLC/fieldbus communications, process logic, commissioning on machines).
• Implement and productize AI models for inspection (training/validation, inference deployment, performance monitoring).
• Plan and run experiments (DoE), analyze results statistically, and translate findings into process/product improvements.
• Create technical documentation (specs, test plans, validation reports) and present results to cross-functional stakeholders.

Requirements:

• MSc/PhD in Engineering, Computer Science, Automation, or similar.
• Strong programming skills in C# and/or Python (C/C++ is a plus).
• Hands-on experience with computer vision (e.g., OpenCV/industrial vision toolkits) and measurement/inspection pipelines.
• Experience integrating software with industrial control/PLC systems (Beckhoff/TwinCAT, Siemens S7-1500 or similar).
• Practical knowledge of deploying ML/AI for vision (e.g., ONNX, detection/segmentation models) is highly valued.
• Structured problem-solving, strong ownership, and the ability to work in an international team.
• Good English communication skills.

Nice to have:

• MATLAB/Octave experience and algorithm porting between environments.
• Git + CI/CD, Linux scripting.
