Job Description
Rockwell Automation is building machine vision and visual inspection into the Automation Control Software portfolio, alongside Studio 5000 Logix Designer and FactoryTalk Optix. You will own the edge - the software running on the box in the plant that drives multiple cameras, executes inspection at line rate, talks to a Logix controller, and stays up when the network does not.
This is deep systems work with architectural ownership. Multi-camera pipelines, the edge-to-cloud channel, the control interface timing budget, and the tradeoff between what runs locally and what runs in the cloud are all yours to shape.
You will build in an AI-first engineering environment - coding agents running inside a harness we own, evals gating AI-generated changes, GitHub Copilot Enterprise and Claude in the daily loop, and MCP-based tooling that lets agents reach real build, test, and telemetry systems under human-in-the-loop review. You will help define what 'good' means for AI-written code in a system where a missed frame is a missed defect.
This role will have a remote schedule and will report to the Director, Software Engineering.
This position is part of a job family. Experience will be the determining factor for position level and compensation.
For this role, the Base Salary Compensation is from $139,680.00 - 209,520.00 USD with an annual target bonus of 8% of base salary. Our company benefits for the US can be found here. Actual pay will be based on factors such as skills, knowledge, education, and experience.
At Rockwell Automation we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace, so if you're excited about this role but your experience doesn't align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right person for this or other roles.
