Robotics Automation Engineer
About The Position
This is an onsite position for a Robotics Automation Engineer (Research and Early Development). The opportunity involves prototyping, integrating motion control and robotics systems, using machine vision for calibration, and general robotics/physical AI. The role applies diversified knowledge of design principles, practices, and implementation in complex systems and assignments. General responsibilities include concept generation, prototyping, detailed design, and testing to assess performance against project objectives. The engineer will work as part of an agile research engineering team, making independent decisions and exercising technical judgment to achieve generally defined project goals, and iterating designs based on feedback and user testing.
Requirements
- Bachelor's Degree or equivalent in a directly related discipline + 8 years of experience, OR MS degree in directly related discipline + 4 years of related experience required; OR PhD degree in directly related discipline + 2 years of related experience required.
- Expert knowledge of principles and concepts of robotic/mechatronic engineering, motion control, sensing and coordinate systems.
- Creative, independent thinker, able to work in a research setting.
- Strong problem solving skills and willingness to learn.
- Excellent communication, collaboration, and interpersonal skills.
- Experience of hands-on assembly and of robotics/automation systems.
- Experience with mechanical, electrical and software prototyping.
- Experience with robot software (preferably ABB RobotStudio).
- Experience with motion control systems (stepper, servo control, encoders, feedback).
- Experience with machine vision for object detection and/or robot guidance.
- Experience with CAD software preferred (preferably SolidWorks).
- Experience with electronic control (PID control, PLC, industrial control).
- Experience with industrial communication protocols (profibus, ethercat, profinet, rs-485, etc.).
Nice To Haves
- Experience with the diagnostic industry / pathology lab is beneficial, but not required.
- Experience with industrial networks (switch, fortinet, routers, TCP/IP).
- Experience with robotic calibration thru machine vision (fiducials, AruCO tags, April tags, etc).
Responsibilities
- Applies advanced engineering knowledge to research projects, typically related to process automation and integration.
- Participates in defining new components, products or processes, typically for pathology lab applications.
- Creates potentially patentable components for systems, or processes.
- Receives general direction and exercises considerable discretion as to work details.
- Performs simulations, analyses and experiments to test hypotheses related to project outcomes.
- Designs, builds and tests prototype hardware and software systems to achieve defined goals.
- Prepares and delivers presentations of project results to others; presents data to diverse audiences.
- Participates in project planning as part of a cross functional agile technical team.
- Other duties as assigned by management.
Benefits
- MEC (Minimum Essential Coverage) plan that encompasses Medical, Vision, Dental, 401K, and EAP (Employee Assistance Program) services.
