Vision System Engineer – Stuttgart

We’re hiring on behalf of a globally leading manufacturer of automation solutions. They’ve got a great name in the market, modern offices, loads of investment in R&D, and a genuinely good place to work.

They’ve recently opened a brand-new facility in the Stuttgart area, complete with a Proof-of-Concept Lab where customers can try out and validate solutions on site. The team there now needs someone with strong automation experience—ideally in machine vision.

The role

You’ll be supporting customer projects across a range of industries—automotive, pharma, F&B, etc.—and helping to build smart, workable solutions using vision systems and sensors. You’ll run demos, support feasibility studies, deliver workshops, and act as a technical expert to the wider team. Although machine vision will be the primary focus, you’ll also work with other products, including robotics (industrial, AGVs, collaborative), drives, motion control, and sensors!

The ideal profile

• 5+ years in industrial automation
• Strong knowledge of machine vision (FH, Cognex, Keyence, Halcon etc.)
• Comfortable working directly with customers—on site and in Stuttgart
• German at native level (this is a must), English also needed
• Some PLC or C++ experience would be a plus

Travel is around 10%—mostly short trips within Europe. For the most part, you’ll be based from the office or your home.
