At Micropack, we lead the way in visual flame detection. Our near-infrared detectors use machine vision to spot fires that conventional sensors miss - keeping high-risk sites in oil, gas, and chemical industries safe.Now, we’re building what comes next. Smarter, faster, image-based detection. Backed by the Consilium Safety Group - a global leader in fire, flame, and gas safety - we’re scaling our technology without losing focus.Join our growing team and help shape the next generation of embedded vision systems. Real performance. Real protection. No compromise.Why Join Micropack?
  • High impact work – your algorithms will go into life-saving certified products.
  • Real innovation – vision, AI, and embedded systems in a compact, real-world package.
  • Ownership – lead the technology stack for machine vision in flame detection.
  • Hybrid/remote – based in Aberdeen, but remote working is possible for the right candidate.
  • Supportive team – collaborate with experienced hardware and safety engineers.
About the RoleWe’re looking for a Senior Machine Vision Engineer to lead development of real-time image processing and embedded AI models for our visual flame detectors. You'll work at the intersection of computer vision, embedded systems, and regulatory compliance.Key Responsibilities
  • Develop and optimise real-time vision algorithms in embedded C/C++.
  • Work with near-IR camera sensors to classify flame characteristics.
  • Integrate fixed, certifiable AI models (no runtime learning).
  • Ensure determinism and reproducibility under certification constraints.
  • Evaluate and test model performance under varied lighting and scene conditions.
  • Collaborate with software, hardware, and certification teams.
Required Skills & Experience
  • Strong experience in embedded machine vision (C/C++, Linux, image pipelines).
  • Hands-on with near-IR, CMOS, or similar imaging systems.
  • Knowledge of AI/ML for vision — fixed CNNs, shape tracking, segmentation.
  • Understanding of real-time and memory-constrained processing.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Degree or MSc in Computer Vision, Embedded Systems, or related discipline.
  • Experience with safety-critical product development.
  • Familiarity with IEC 61508 or other certification-related standards.
