About Mach Industries Founded in 2023, Mach Industries is a rapidly growing defense technology company focused on developing next-generation autonomous defense platforms. At the core of our mission is the commitment to delivering scalable, decentralized defense systems that enhance the strategic capabilities of the United States and its allies. With a workforce of approximately 350 employees, we operate with startup agility and ambition. Our vision is to redefine the future of warfare through cutting-edge manufacturing, innovation at speed, and unwavering focus on national security. We are dedicated to solving the next generation of warfare with lethal systems that deter kinetic conflict and protect global security. The Role Mach Industries is seeking a Senior Automation Engineer, Vision to develop and standardize machine vision systems across manufacturing. You will develop proof-of-concept vision systems using industrial cameras, optics, lighting, profilometers, vision controllers, and edge compute, then translate successful concepts into standardized hardware and software architectures that can be deployed across production equipment. This is a highly hands-on engineering role. You will build vision systems in the lab and on manufacturing equipment, characterize imaging performance, develop acquisition and processing methods, define compute requirements, and establish the technical standards used by internal teams and external systems integrators. Key Responsibilities Develop Mach's standardized machine vision platform for automated manufacturing equipment. Design and build proof-of-concept vision systems using industrial cameras, lenses, lighting, filters, profilometers, depth cameras, and other optical sensors. Select and characterize cameras, optics, lighting, sensors, controllers, and acquisition hardware for manufacturing applications. Define edge compute requirements based on acquisition rates, processing workloads, latency, and machine cycle-time requireme
