Image Pattern Recognition Software Developer (Consultancy)

The IMEC Wafer Service team performs repetitive review of wafer images / defect images of production wafers before shipment to its partners. This manual review of images is to detect defective wafers but is prone to human error and slip-throughs. We require a simple software classification solution to replace the manual human review of wafer images / defect images. Our expectation is to start this as a small software project with a defined and limited scope, hence we are looking for a single developer to fulfil different roles.

The assignment 

• Understand user needs and project scope, together with the Project Manager
• Perform pragmatic and cost-effective review of different software tools / platforms / open-source options, that are needed in developing the required software solution.
• Develop a robust software solution for use in production situations (in a manufacturing plant), from scratch.
• Develop automated tests to verify functionality of software solution.
• Create an easy-to-use User Interface.
• Provide training on the use of final software solution to end-users.

Required knowledge and skills 

• A well rounded and experienced software developer with proven track record in developing image pattern recognition (machine learning) applications.
• Competent in the use of lower cost / open-source tools (e.g., Anaconda)
• Able to handle different roles in a small software project (software developer, UX developer, Test developer).
• You appreciate new challenges, have eye for detail and you have a high level of discretion when handling confidential information.
• Given the international character of imec, good knowledge of (spoken and written) English is required.

What we offer

• Duration of the assignment 6 months, with extension possibility if applicable. 
• Desired start date: asap
• Work regime: Full Time

Location
