Forward Deployed Engineer - AI Vision Systems - Quebec, Canada

• Own the full deployment lifecycle for manufacturing customers — from scoping and integration through to production hardening and handover
• Embed with customer operations and IT teams as the primary technical contact on-site
• Install and configure edge AI hardware (NVIDIA Jetson or equivalent) within customer facilities
• Integrate AI vision systems with customer OT/IT stacks including OPC-UA, Modbus, and PLC systems
• Build and iterate data pipelines from edge capture through to cloud — model deployment, monitoring, and feedback loops
• Troubleshoot software, networking, and integration issues in live production environments
• Document architectures and configurations, producing formal handover artifacts for long-term support
• Train customer operators and engineers in both French and English on deployed systems
• Work as a secondary deployment engineer for your first 30–60 days alongside an experienced FDE before taking on your own accounts
• Participate in pre-sales scoping calls and feed field learnings back to the product and engineering team
• Support on-site data collection and annotation as needed

• Production Python development experience with hands-on use of Linux, Docker, and Git in real production environments
• Cloud deployment and operations experience on at least one major platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
• Hands-on experience with at least one of: OPC-UA/Modbus/PLC integration, NVIDIA Jetson or equivalent edge AI platforms, or GenICam/industrial vision systems — edge device experience is the strongest preference
• Networking fundamentals for industrial deployments: TCP/IP, VLANs, firewalls
• Experience in a customer-facing engineering role as the primary technical contact for external stakeholders
• Professional working proficiency in both French and English — this means running scoping meetings, customer training sessions, and on-site troubleshooting in French, not just reading docs

• Professional experience in industrial automation or manufacturing environments involving OT/IT integration
• OIQ membership (ing.) or P.Eng. — a genuine nice-to-have, not a hard requirement; the right candidate without it will still be considered

• Base salary: Competitive and commensurate with experience - $120-180k CAD+ (could be more for the right candidate with depth of experience) depending on experience and location within Quebec
• No bonus currently in place; structure under review
• Equity: under development; six-month review process for all new hires
• Benefits kick in at three months
