Role summary
Capsa Healthcare is seeking a Lead Machine Vision Engineer to remotely lead vision architecture and enhance production-grade computer vision systems for pharmacy automation technology. This role requires strong software engineering skills in Python and C++, practical expertise in machine learning and computer vision (including model training, dataset building, and OpenCV), hands-on experience with industrial vision hardware, and proficiency in Linux, networking, and system integration (REST/gRPC, AWS). The ideal candidate will have a Bachelor's or Master's degree and over 10 years of experience in production machine vision systems. The role involves approximately 40% travel.
At Capsa Healthcare, we're engineering better care.
We build what healthcare runs on. Our pharmacy automation teams build the counting, packaging and robotic dispensing systems, and the software behind them, that pharmacies rely on to fill prescriptions at every scale, from a single retail counter to high volume central fill and mail order operations. It is engineering you can walk through. Join us and see how we're engineering a path to better care. Learn more about our solutions at www.capsahealthcare.com.
