Senior Systems Integration Engineer

Nimble Robotics•San Francisco, CA

About The Position

We are seeking a Senior Systems Integration Engineer to lead the technical realization of our next-generation robotic hardware. This is a high-stakes role focused on the integration, validation, and performance of robots in a fully automated warehouse environment, where you will sit at the intersection of Mechanical Engineering, Software, Computer Vision, and Operations. You will be responsible for ensuring our robots don't just work, but perform at a superhuman level, optimizing throughput, perfecting grasp performance, and leading high-profile demonstrations.

Requirements

BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related technical field.
5+ years of experience in robotics systems integration, hardware validation, or mechatronics.
Proven expertise in optimizing performance metrics and managing the interplay between robotic systems and control software.
A track record of leading "end-to-end" projects, from initial validation in a lab setting to successful deployment in a high-volume production environment.
Exceptional analytical skills; ability to use data to drive mechanical and software engineering changes.
Ability to represent Nimble’s technology to elite-level stakeholders and translate complex technical performance into clear strategic updates.

Responsibilities

Involve deeply in the full product life cycle, including product definition, testing, and deployment of the next-generation hardware, with a specialized focus on the rapid deployment of robotic arm features.
Own and execute the robot arm picking performance roadmap. You will utilize metrics to pinpoint mechanical or software bottlenecks and implement aggressive optimizations to improve throughput.
Collaborate with robotics software and computer vision teams to define and roadmap cutting-edge features to maximize operational efficiency and improve robotic grasp-ability robustness and reliability.
Serve as the primary technical lead for robotic warehouse demonstrations and pilot programs, including the high-stake demos for potential customers, investors, and key stakeholders.
Conduct deep-dive technical investigations into performance regressions and lead hypothesis validation/testing for complex edge cases.
