Robotics Engineer

Join our team as a Robotics Engineer!

Are you ready to work on cutting-edge automation projects and shape the future of industrial robotics? We’re seeking a skilled Robotics Engineer to develop and integrate advanced systems including AMRs, cobots, and industrial manipulators. You’ll design motion planning and navigation algorithms, integrate AI and vision systems, and implement real-time control systems for dynamic environments. Using ROS2 and PLCs, you’ll help build end-to-end automation solutions and support system integration and on-site commissioning as part of a multidisciplinary team.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop collision-free motion planning pipeline for robotic manipulators using moveit2, for various applications like palletizing, welding, and spraying.
• Design, develop, and optimize real-time control and navigation architectures for our AMR, utilizing ROS2 and Nav2 integrated with various sensors (LiDAR, cameras, IMU, etc.)
• Integrating SLAM, visual servoing, and multi-sensor fusion to enable robust autonomous operation.
• Conduct testing and validation procedures in both simulation environments (e.g., Gazebo, Nividia Isaac Sim) and real-world hardware.
• Implement computer vision systems such as YOLO and SSD using CUDA, alongside classical techniques using OpenCV library.
• Deploy and optimize AI inference models on embedded platforms, including edge accelerators like Hailo-8, for real-time perception tasks.
• Work with Raspberry Pi and similar embedded platforms to prototype and deploy lightweight robotic applications.
• Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and software engineers to integrate mechanical components, sensors, actuators, and vision systems into complete automation solutions.
• Perform system commissioning, including hardware setup, testing, debugging, and on-site installation.
• Optimize automation processes by conducting continuous improvement initiatives to enhance system performance and reliability.
• Troubleshoot and resolve automation and robotic system issues, ensuring minimal downtime and optimal efficiency.

Qualifications & Experience

• Hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechatronics, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Automation Engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum 3 years of hands-on experience in robotics/controls engineering, industrial automation, real-time systems, and embedded robotics hardware. 
• Proficient in C++ and Python programming
• Experience developing and deploying AI/computer vision algorithms using modern frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, OpenCV). Familiarity with deployment tools such as TensorRT, ONNX, or OpenVINO for edge and real-time applications is a strong asset.
• Familiar with industrial manipulators (ABB, FANUC, KUKA, Yaskawa, or similar) and collaborative robots (Kinova, UR, or similar).
• Solid understanding of kinematics, dynamics, and motion planning for robotic systems.
• Knowledge of industrial networking (Ethernet/IP, Modbus, Profinet, etc.).
• Prior experience developing software for commercial or research-grade robotics applications is a plus.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
• Excellent communication skills for cross-functional collaboration and client interactions.
• Detail-oriented mindset with a passion to work independently, driving innovation and pursuing continuous improvement.
• Strong skills in documentation and diagramming

Bonus Points:

• Familiar with HMI development and SCADA systems, with experience in designing and implementing automation solutions using both robot and PLC programming (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Beckhoff, Schneider, CODASYS, etc.).
• Familiarity with AI-driven automation, Industry 4.0 solutions, and IIoT technologies is a plus.
• Familiar with other robotics simulation platforms such as MuJoCo and Pybullet.
• Familiar with CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks) and 3D perception is a substantial advantage.

Benefits & Perks

• Competitive salary with performance-based bonuses.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits.
• Opportunities for professional development and training.
• Collaborative and innovative work environment with access to the latest automation technologies.
