Machine Vision / Mechanical Engineer

We are looking for a highly motivated and talented machine vision / mechanical engineer to join our team at the VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology. The selected candidate will join the Nelissen lab, and will work alongside scientists to develop and implement a mobile 3D machine vision system for small plants.
The ideal candidate will have a background in mechanical, electrical or robotics engineering, and have expertise in building camera systems and computer vision. This role also involves working closely with the other members of the team on projects related to plant phenotyping (assessing e.g. plant body form, color, and landmarks). Therefore, we require a team player who also possesses the ability to work independently.
Key Responsibilities
Design, plan and implement a 3D camera system for acquiring plant seedlings in the visible spectrum, and which is mobile or semi-mobile
Design and programming of computer vision software to extract plant phenotypic data
