Software Engineer - Production Test and Calibration

ABOUT US 

Zivid is one of Norway's most ambitious new technology companies, serving the global robotics market with our 3D computer vision solutions. Our innovative 3D cameras, serving as the eyes of robots, are essential in automating manufacturing and logistics worldwide. With nearly 100 employees, offices in six countries, and a diverse global customer base, Zivid is shaping the future of machine vision and robotics. 

We're looking for a curious, driven software engineer to join our Production Test & Calibration (PTC) team. The PTC team designs, builds, and maintains systems that ensure our cameras perform with the required accuracy and precision.

You will join a small and cross-functional team with a firm belief in teamwork and growing together. We have a lot of fun while we challenge ourselves every day to develop products that define the future of machine vision and robotics. If you have the right skills and are excited about working in a team with high energy and passion, we would very much like to talk to you!  

ABOUT THE ROLE

You will be working mainly with Python development of our calibration and production test systems. 

Day to day, you'll be developing the software suite that is used in the production pipeline. This means maintaining and writing new tests, as well as writing any infrastructure necessary for that. This typically requires talking to the cameras, storing test results to various databases, controlling testing hardware, and much more. One week you could be writing a REST API client for a service, and the next you might writing an interface for a motor controller for controlling our jigs.

Tools we use: Python, pytest, git, Docker, matplotlib, numpy etc. You will work on both Windows and Linux. 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

This position offers varied and challenging tasks in the intersection of software, hardware, mechanics, vision, production, and quality assurance. Over time, your tasks will include:

• Release testing.
• Automating processes. 
• Improving calibration speed and throughput. 
• Developing and implementing new and improved calibration methods. 
• Adding support for new hardware components (such as temperature chambers, jigs and motors). 
• Adding support for new camera models. 
• Extending production test coverage. 
• Making the systems more scalable. 
• Adding metrics and statistics for monitoring production quality and throughput. 
• Implementing systems for deploying and upgrading production test stations and calibration jigs. 
• Configure and set up new test stations/calibration stations. 
• Design and implement new tests for the calibration and production test software in CI. 
  
• Proactively identify, troubleshoot, and resolve technical issues to ensure stable production  

Please write your cover letter without the use of AI tools. We're looking for your own voice and perspective. That is what helps us understand whether you and the role are a good fit.
