As a Machine Vision Innovation Center, SICK Linköping develops high-performance cameras and advanced AI-powered software that drive the future of both manufacturing and logistics automation. Whether it’s helping robots pick the right item or enabling high-precision quality control with 2D and 3D vision, our solutions bring clarity, speed, and smart decision-making to complex industrial environments. With 100 passionate colleagues in Linköping – and backed by a global team of 10,000 with headquarters in Germany – we create technology that powers safer, smarter, and more efficient industries worldwide.
What we offer you
You will be part of a team focused on computer vision, image analysis, deep learning, algorithms, and modeling. The team is at the forefront of innovation, applying the latest research to transform insights into practical products for our customers. We specialize in edge learning methods, bringing AI closer to the edge by embedding learning capabilities directly into the device.
What you will do
In this role, you will collaborate closely with your team in an embedded Linux environment, primarily using C++. Your main responsibility will be to develop high-performance algorithms for our 2D and 3D embedded cameras, ensuring efficient implementation to optimize performance. You will contribute to building some of the most advanced cameras on the market.
Your role will also include:
Image processing and analysis to interpret and adapt algorithms, ensuring effective use in embedded 2D and 3D camera systems.
Close collaboration with colleagues across the product development organization, working with both hardware and software teams locally and globally.
