About The Position

We are seeking a highly skilled Robotics Engineer with strong algorithmic thinking, proficiency in robotic systems design, and hands-on software development expertise to help specify, build, and deploy advanced robotic automation systems for EMC design and testing. You will be part of a cross-functional team working on transformative automation projects that span across multiple Lines of Business, collaborating with EMC and hardware engineering teams to develop, optimize, and integrate custom robotic solutions that streamline measurement, validation, and data collection workflows. In this role, you'll work at the intersection of robotics, computer vision, and software engineering — designing and building automated systems that transform how EMC teams measure, test, and validate Apple products. You'll take concepts from early prototyping and CAD design through to fully deployed robotic systems integrated into Apple's infrastructure. Your contributions will directly impact engineering productivity and product quality across many Apple hardware programs.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
• 3+ years of experience in software development with robotics-related projects.
• Strong Python programming proficiency with experience building complex, production-grade applications.
• Experience in software design and complex algorithm implementation.
• Familiarity with computer vision libraries and frameworks (OpenCV, depth sensing, image processing).
• Familiarity with mobile robotic systems and sensor integration.
• Familiarity with CAD design tools and rapid prototyping/3D printing workflows.
• Strong analytical and critical thinking skills with the ability to work through ambiguity.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Nice To Haves

• Master's degree with 5+ years of working experience in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Programming skills in C++.
• Familiarity with control and automation of test and measurement instruments (e.g., EMC receivers, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers) via SCPI, VISA, or similar protocols.
• Knowledge of ROS framework and industrial robotic systems (e.g., Universal Robots URScript).
• Experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and managing large-scale data collection, storage, and processing pipelines.
• Experience with ML-based perception systems, including object detection, pose estimation, or visual inspection.
• Hands-on experience with PyTorch, TensorFlow, or similar deep learning frameworks applied to vision tasks.
• Experience deploying robotic systems in manufacturing or lab environments at scale.
• Familiarity with motion planning, path optimization, and real-time control algorithms.
• Experience integrating robotic systems into enterprise infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines.

Responsibilities
