The company operates across multiple entities in Canada and the United States, supporting a diverse portfolio of engineering, automation, software, manufacturing, and industrial service operations.

DuroByte is seeking a hands-on Vision and Motion Controls Specialist to design, program, integrate, and optimise advanced industrial machine-vision, robotic, and motion-control systems. This customer-facing role will support automation projects throughout the full lifecycle, from concept and component selection through development, integration, commissioning, training, and ongoing customer support.

YOUR DAY TO DAY

• Design, configure, programme, and commission industrial machine-vision systems for inspection, measurement, identification, defect detection, robot guidance, and related applications.
• Develop and optimise image-acquisition, calibration, lighting, lensing, pattern-matching, classification, and image-processing solutions for production environments.
• Integrate vision systems with industrial robots, PLCs, HMIs, servo systems, conveyors, safety devices, databases, and plant networks.
• Programme and optimise robotic and motion-control applications involving positioning, tracking, pick-and-place, material handling, and machine interaction.
• Select cameras, lenses, lighting, sensors, robotics, servo drives, motors, controls hardware, and communication architectures based on project requirements.
• Develop custom software, scripts, and algorithms using tools such as Python, C++, C#, OpenCV, or vendor-specific development environments.
• Apply machine-learning or deep-learning techniques to complex inspection, recognition, classification, or robotic-perception challenges where appropriate.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering, project management, manufacturing, and technical teams to develop safe, reliable, and maintainable automation solutions.
• Perform system testing, debugging, validation, capability studies, and performance optimisation under production conditions.
• Troubleshoot hardware, software, communication, calibration, lighting, image-quality, robot-path, and motion-control issues during integration and commissioning.
• Prepare technical documentation, operating instructions, calibration procedures, software backups, and troubleshooting guides.
• Provide technical demonstrations, customer training, knowledge transfer, and ongoing support to operators, maintenance personnel, engineers, and other end users.

WHAT YOU BRING

• Bachelor’s degree or college diploma in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Mechatronics, Robotics, Automation, or a related technical field.
• 3+ years of hands-on experience developing, integrating, or supporting industrial machine-vision, robotic, or motion-control solutions.
• Strong knowledge of industrial machine-vision principles, including cameras, lenses, lighting, image acquisition, calibration, image processing, inspection tools, and application validation.
• Experience integrating machine-vision systems with PLCs, HMIs, industrial robots, servo systems, and automated machinery.
• Proficiency in Python, C++, C#, or a comparable programming language, with strong software-debugging and problem-solving skills.
• Experience with machine-vision platforms such as Cognex, Keyence, Teledyne DALSA, SICK, Zebra, OpenCV, or comparable technologies is preferred.
• Experience with industrial robotic platforms such as FANUC, ABB, KUKA, Yaskawa, or Universal Robots is considered an asset.
• Familiarity with Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Schneider Electric, Omron, or other PLC and industrial-control platforms is considered an asset.
• Knowledge of industrial networks and communication protocols, including EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, TCP/IP, Modbus TCP, or OPC UA.
• Experience with machine learning, TensorFlow, PyTorch, ROS, or comparable technologies is considered an asset.
• Automotive, system-integration, custom-machine-building, or advanced-manufacturing experience is considered an asset.
• A valid driver’s licence and passport, with the ability to travel within Canada, the United States, and internationally as required.
• Legal authorisation to work in Canada and the ability to satisfy customer-site requirements, which may include background checks or drug and alcohol screening.
