LMI Technologies, recognized as one of Canada's 50 Best Workplaces, is a medium-sized technology company built on a culture of openness, respect and professional excellence. At LMI our staff work passionately toward the common goal of designing and delivering innovative 3D machine vision solutions to OEMs and System Integrators working in industrial factory automation around the world. The result of this teamwork is high-performance, easy-to-implement and cost-effective 3D sensor technologies that deliver the best results in even the most challenging 3D inline inspection applications.

 

LMI is seeking a software engineering or computer science graduate with a background in client-side web application development and a strong interest in WebGL and WebSockets. As part of LMI's agile team you will be responsible for leading design initiatives and implementing new features in an embedded web GUI using an application framework developed in-house. You will work in a multi-disciplinary engineering team (software, electrical, mechanical/optical) that develops new sensor products and supporting infrastructure (manufacturing and test equipment). Successful candidates should be professional, resourceful, and can work well autonomously yet still communicate effectively with a close-knit group of about 10 engineers. 

 

LMI's office is based in Vancouver, however we are willing to offer relocation assistance. Remote work is also an option if you'd prefer to stay where you are.
