Vision Expert for Industrial Applications - Omron South Africa

Design and prototype various business ideas ranging from purely mechanical, electrical or a combination, using fast prototyping tools, 3D printing and testing techniques. Product/ideas were taken from a company based sharing platform and then developed, tested and presented to the board for further development. Mechanical designs were created using Autodesk Inventor, Solidworks, Pronterface, Slic3r and Objet 3D. Electrical designs and simulations were carried out using Altium, Docklight and in some cases Visual Studio (C#)Some products were experimental and required a multidisciplinary approach where others were business orientated, focussing on innovation and development.

Design customised solutions to various product ranges within the field of vision inspection and quality control.Generate new and update existing engineering drawings in the form of free hand sketches, hand drawn and CAD system drawings.Complete the documentation and maintain the configuration control of documents and drawings as prescribed in the company standards. This includes generating CE standard documentation for each system.Implement national and international standards where they affect the company’s products.Perform engineering design calculations of systems, structures and components.Investigate the causes of engineering problems and generate reports.Use engineering techniques to find solutions and to solve engineering problems related to designs.Interpret client or user requirement specifications to develop engineering specifications or systems, or components.Confirm design specifications with details to assure conformance and lead meetings with the manufacturing teams.Have a sound knowledge of materials, processes and vision inspection as they affect the company’s products.Liaise with production to ensure most economical methods of manufacture are built into the product at the design and detail stage.Plan and control the development and testing of engineering systems, structures and components.Sign off and commission completed systems.Plan and control engineering projects.
