Responsibilities

• Collaborate with research scientists and engineers to integrate hardware and software for robotic/mechatronic systems.
• Design and conduct thorough evaluations of real-world robotic systems, identify limitations, and propose improvements to enhance performance and robustness.
• Communicate complex features and system details effectively to diverse stakeholders.
• Perform experiments on real and simulated robotic/automation systems; debug and support parts manufacture in partnership with internal and external teams.
• Participate hands-on in the lab, assembling robots and integrating research sub-assemblies into full system-level prototypes.
• Conduct failure analysis: build subsystem test fixtures, design tests, create test plans, perform tests, measure and analyze data, and refine design assumptions.
• Develop communication firmware/software for robotic subsystems.
• Research, develop, and calibrate characterization/training sensors.

 
Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a relevant technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 3–4+ years of experience in Robotics, Mechatronics, Electro-Mechanical Design, Sensor & Communications, or similar fields.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with SOLIDWORKS, Siemens NX, or similar CAD tools.
• Experience with manufacturing processes and materials.
• Experience using machine learning tools.
• Experience with simulation tools and finite element analysis (structural, modal).
• Experience with automation equipment design and custom machine builds.

 
Must-Have Skills

• Combination of software and hardware experience, specifically integrating hardware with software.
• Strong experience working with sensors and managing software systems.
• Hands-on experience integrating hardware into software (including for PhD fresh graduates).

 
Degrees/Certifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a relevant technical field (or equivalent practical experience).

 
Interview Process

• 1 Round Panel Interview: 3 interviewers with 1 candidate, 1 hour total.
