Founding Computer Vision / Machine Learning Engineer

Founding Computer Vision Engineer (Up to 15% Equity + EXIST Funding) INTRO NexTex AI is building machine-level intelligence for textile manufacturing. Our platform combines industrial cameras, retrofit sensors, machine data, and AI models to detect textile defects, identify production anomalies, and generate sustainability intelligence across knitting, dyeing, finishing, and quality control operations. Unlike traditional quality control systems, NexTex AI connects machine behavior, fabric quality, and sustainability performance through a unified industrial AI platform. By combining computer vision, machine signals, production metadata, and process parameters, we help manufacturers reduce fabric waste, rework, water consumption, energy usage, and CO₂ emissions while improving process stability and production quality. Initial applications include needle-related defects, elastane failures, oil stains, fabric distortions, shade deviations (ΔE), machine start-stop anomalies, and process ins
