Provenance Laboratories About the Role We’re looking for a Machine Vision & Industrial Automation Engineer to help design and deploy integrated systems that combine computer vision, motion control, and automation workflows. You’ll take ownership of key subsystems that acquire and process image data, coordinate actuators and sensors, and interface with industrial controllers and embedded devices. This is a hands-on role where you’ll work independently but collaborate with a small, focused team to bring systems from R&D through production deployment. You'll be building machines that deliver real-world results in a high-performance, precision environment. About Provenance Laboratories Provenance Laboratories is a Santa Monica-based R&D and technology company developing next-generation authentication systems for high-value goods—including watches, art, instruments, and industrial parts. Our work combines precision imaging, non-destructive evaluation, optical engineering, and automation to extract and analyze micron-scale features without damaging the object. We specialize in creating scalable, robust solutions that bridge the gap between physical objects and digital certainty. You’ll be part of a team of scientists, engineers, and builders delivering real machines with real-world impact. What You’ll Do Design automation flows that integrate vision processing, motion sequencing, and system logic Build image acquisition pipelines in Python using OpenCV or similar libraries Control motion systems including stages, gantries, actuators, and lighting Interface with external industrial systems and firmware-controlled devices Work from schematics to integrate sensors, controllers, and I/O Write maintainable, production-ready Python for use in real machines Deploy and support systems across a small fleet of production units What You’ll Need 3–6+ years of experience in automation, machine vision, or mechatronics Strong Python skills for hardware control and vision processing Hands-on experience with motion control hardware (gantries, stages, etc.) Familiarity with industrial communication protocols and hardware integration Ability to work from electrical schematics and integrate off-the-shelf systems Comfortable working independently and owning full subsystems Bonus Skills Experience with Basler cameras and the Pylon SDK Experience with MATLAB for analysis or prototyping Familiarity with AI-based image processing tools (e.g., deep learning segmentation, detection) Understanding of robotic path planning for motion coordination Why Join Us? Build real-world systems that go from prototype to production Contribute to a team that combines vision, automation, and systems engineering High-impact role with direct ownership of engineering components Located in Santa Monica, hybrid or onsite work Location: Santa Monica, CA Job Type: Full-Time Preferred, Open to 50%+ part time Work Format: Onsite or Hybrid (minimum 50% onsite required) Experience Level: Mid to Senior (3–6+ years) Compensation: $120,000 – $160,000, depending on experience Not sponsoring Visas Apply Now careers@provenancelaboratories.com Subject: Application – Machine Vision & Automation Engineer Seniority level
