The project
You join Brightfield Vision Systems Ltd (simulated company)
You are the junior vision engineer on a camera inspection system for solder bridges on a connector. The Senior Vision Engineer gives you a ticket, an inspection spec, an acquisition sheet with blanks, a labelling guide with mistakes and a set of image-level results. Over four weeks you check the optics, review the labels, find that the test set shares boards with the training set, show that 97 percent accuracy means nothing, discover that the night shift is dark, and then handle a new board variant, a production manager who wants to loosen the threshold in secret, lens dust, a customer escape and the handover to the line team.
The people in the story are roles, such as Lead Engineer, not real people.
