R&D Optical Engineer

ABOUT US Datasensing was born in 2022 from the merger between Datalogic's Sensor & Safety and Machine Vision business unit and M.
D.
Micro Detectors, acquired in 2021.
The new company therefore faces the market with 100 years of experience, having combined two realities that have made the history of sensors in Italy since the early 1970s.
Datasensing is developing, manufacturing, and supplying Machine Vision, Sensor and Safety, offering more than 200 product lines and 22500 standard and custom part numbers.
The company is focused on industrial automation detection, inspection, measurement, safety and guidance application, from production to internal logistics of goods.
In its first year, the new company reached 76 mi. € sales revenues, growing of 20% compared to 2021, with over 350 employees worldwide.
Datasensing has a global presence, with HQ in Italy and main offices in Europe, China and US.
The company was born in the name of sustainability, with many Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives.
