Position Purpose	The Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College is seeking a Teaching Assistant for the Machine Vision course in the Online Master of Engineering (MEng) in Computer Engineering. This person will work closely with the Dartmouth faculty and academic team to support our students who are studying in this fully online, asynchronous program. This graduate-level course combines image processing, machine learning, and system design concepts, with a focus on implementing machine vision systems on low-level hardware. In this course, students will leverage digital design tools to evaluate and compare the performance of high-speed vision algorithms implemented on an SoC (system on a chip), and they will explore system-level design through case studies of machine vision systems across industries. This class will expand on fundamental computer vision algorithms, such as image segmentation, feature extraction, motion tracking, object detection, and filtering, emphasizing the hardware implementation of real-world machine vision applications. This position is part-time and is expected to be 10-15 flexible hours per week.
Required Qualifications	Bachelor's degree in engineering or related field. Demonstrated experience with Machine Vision system design, hardware implementation, optimization techniques, and image and video processing. Demonstrated experience with fundamental computer vision algorithms, such as image segmentation, feature extraction, motion tracking, object detection, and filtering.
Preferred Qualifications	Master's or doctoral degree in engineering or related field. Research and/or industry experience in Machine Vision.
