Machine Vision Knowledge RequiredCandidate should have at least basic working knowledge of:

- Industrial cameras – area scan / smart camera basics
- Lens selection and working distance
- Lighting techniques
- Exposure, gain and focus adjustment
- Triggering and digital I/O
- Image processing fundamentals
- Blob analysis
- Edge detection
- Pattern matching
- OCR / OCV




- Measurement tools
- Camera calibration
- Pass/Fail logic

Programming KnowledgeYou do not necessarily need a hardcore software developer. For your current requirement, look for someone comfortable with:

- Python – basic to intermediate
- OpenCV – basic image processing
- Basic C# or C++ knowledge is an advantage
- Basic understanding of APIs / SDKs
- Serial communication / TCP-IP basics
- Modbus TCP / PLC communication basics
- Ability to understand sample machine-vision SDK programs

For SKVA, I would make Python + OpenCV compulsory at basic level, because this will tell you whether the candidate actually understands image-processing logic rather than only operating camera software.

QualificationSuitable backgrounds:

- BE / B.Tech – ECE
- EEE
- Mechatronics
- Electronics & Instrumentation
- Robotics & Automation
- Mechanical Engineering with automation/vision exposure

Experience: Fresher to 2 years can work well if the candidate has strong technical interest and practical skills.

Significant Personal SkillsLook for someone who:

- Is comfortable visiting industrial customers.
- Can communicate technical concepts in simple English.
- Is willing to handle hands-on work.
- Can troubleshoot systematically.
- Is interested in cameras, optics, automation and programming.
- Can independently conduct product demonstrations.
- Is willing to learn new machine-vision software and hardware.
- Can prepare proper technical reports.
