Company

hirify.global is delivering a scientific imaging proof of concept for industrial X-ray inspection.

What you will do

• Lead the two-person core computer-vision team on an X-ray inspection proof of concept for wind turbine blades.
• Develop methods to follow a thin, dense metal conductor through a stitched X-ray image of a whole blade and identify breaks.
• Evaluate whether missing adhesive or open separations deep inside a blade joint create detectable and repeatable indications.
• Apply classical image processing to normalise brightness across changing material thickness, handle stitching seams, and trace linear structures through clutter.
• Calibrate detection thresholds using physical reference samples and assess whether learned components improve the results.
• Communicate whether a defect is algorithmically missed or cannot be reliably detected in the image.

Requirements

• Senior-level experience in computer vision or a closely related imaging field.
• Experience entering an unfamiliar imaging domain and reaching a working method quickly.
• Strong understanding of classical image processing and experimental validation.
• Ability to evaluate detection reliability and explain inconclusive or negative results.
• X-ray or non-destructive-testing experience is not required; training in the relevant physics is provided.

Culture & Benefits

• Initial proof-of-concept engagement lasting six to eight months, with a path to a product.
• Work alongside a technical lead, project manager, shared QA, an NDT expert, a blade engineer, and the acquisition partner's engineers.
• Dedicated time and paid reading support are provided to learn the domain physics.
• Work is available from an office or remotely within the stated locations.
