Mechatronics / Automation Specialist

EPAM Systems • Boulder, CO

6d • Onsite

About The Position

We are seeking a hands-on Mechatronics / Automation Specialist to support hardware automation test benches and robotic fixtures. This is a physical, lab-based role for an autonomous self-starter who builds, wires, maintains, and troubleshoots electromechanical test stations, while interfacing with existing Python automation scripts to execute tests and isolate failures. Req.#1103872939

Requirements

• Hands-on experience operating collaborative or industrial robotic arms for data capture
• Practical electromechanical fixturing and wiring experience (cable routing, harness fabrication, crimping, soldering, sensor/actuator mounting)
• Confidence using benchtop diagnostic tools: multimeters, power supplies, oscilloscopes
• Working proficiency in Python for hardware interfacing (not a software architecture role, but must be comfortable navigating code)
• Strong systematic troubleshooting skills across mechanical, electrical, and software domains
• Excellent attention to detail in data labeling/logging and clear communication skills

Nice To Haves

• Experience with collaborative robot arms (e.g., Franka FR3, Universal Robots) or multi-axis precision gantries
• Familiarity with cameras, optical sensors, force/torque sensors, or IMUs
• Basic CAD viewing skills (Siemens NX, SolidWorks, STEP) for fixture verification
• Rapid prototyping experience (e.g., 3D printing)

Responsibilities

• Operate collaborative/industrial robotic arms (hand-guiding, kinesthetic teaching, or scripted motion) to collect consistent, high-volume motion and sensor datasets
• Assemble and maintain electromechanical test setups, including cable routing, wire harness fabrication, crimping, soldering, and mounting sensors/actuators
• Use multimeters, power supplies, and oscilloscopes to diagnose electrical faults and signal integrity issues
• Read, run, and modify Python scripts for hardware control, motion routines, and automated data collection pipelines
• Systematically triage failures across the stack — distinguishing between mechanical binding, wiring dropouts, sensor calibration shifts, and script errors
• Maintain high data hygiene standards: label and log data runs accurately
• Provide clear daily blocker and station status reports
