Who is your future team?
You will work in the Industrial Automation (IA) team, a team of 6 dedicated engineers who develop and support production systems for Axis camera products. The production systems are used in high volume production at our factories around the world, and every year millions of products are produced and tested in our systems.

The IA-team is part of a larger division of about 100+ engineers working with Production Engineering and Technology (PET), and together with our colleagues within SW, Imaging, electronics and mechanical engineering we develop and support production systems globally.

A production system is used in Axis factories to produce our products, typically security cameras. Some production systems are used to align image sensors with optics while others test the assembled units with respect to, for example, optical focus. Common for many production systems is that they require micrometer precision automation for high volumes and high variation of products, which can be very challenging!
