As one of the team members in Computer Vision group, the co-op will work closely with the optics/vision system engineers in many aspects of vision system development: optics/illumination design/build/testing, camera sensor characterization, vision algorithm development in inspection/alignment, and automated testing framework for vision software. Our applications range from using sub-micron vision alignment for placing micron-thick wires on semiconductor devices, detecting foreign materials before bonding, and inspecting bond placement and quality check after bonding. Our bonding machines are multi-DOF (degrees of freedom) robot mechanisms which require the vision hardware/software to be closely integrated with the host controller. While at Kulicke & Soffa you will: • Explore new vision algorithms/strategies for proof of concept assessment using Matlab and/or other vision development environment • Implement algorithms in C++ or other object-oriented language in vision application or test software • Help to develop more tools to enhance the capability of existing automated vision software test framework • Work with optics engineer to run optics system test for design verification and add more functionalities in optics test fixture to improve quality control • and other duties as assigned
