Responsibilities

You will work at the intersection of customer applications, technology, and commercial success, helping shape how machine vision lighting solutions are applied in real-world environments. You will be deeply involved in complex customer challenges, working alongside Sales and engineering teams to translate application requirements into robust, scalable solutions.

Solutions are not only technically sound, but scalable and repeatable
Sales teams are enabled with clear technical direction and confidence
