About the Role
We are seeking an AI Engineer to develop advanced, AI-driven computer vision systems for real-time defect monitoring in Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) additive manufacturing. The role focuses on detecting, classifying, and quantifying microscopic and macroscopic defects during the powder re-coating and laser melting phases to ensure part quality and safety.
You will work at the intersection of machine learning, computer vision, and advanced manufacturing, translating research concepts into deployable, real-time solutions.
Problem Statement
During the L-PBF process, defects such as porosity (holes), hopping/recoil instabilities, powder residue, and streaking can occur and compromise part integrity. The objective of this role is to design and implement an AI-based monitoring system that can:
Detect & Classify defects in real time during powder spreading and laser melting
Quantify Severity of detected flaws and trigger alerts when thresholds are exceeded
Key Responsibilities
Design and develop computer vision and deep learning models for real-time defect detection in L-PBF processes
Research and implement methods to classify defect types (e.g., porosity, hopping, powder residue, streaking)
Develop algorithms to quantify defect severity and confidence levels
Integrate AI models with in-situ sensor data (optical, thermal, high-speed imaging, or melt-pool monitoring systems)
Optimize models for low-latency, real-time inference on edge or industrial systems
Collaborate with manufacturing, materials, and hardware teams to validate models on real production data
Evaluate system performance using statistical and manufacturing-relevant metrics
Document research findings and contribute to patents, publications, or internal technical reports
