Robotics Engineer Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Robotics, or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years in systems engineering on complex electromechanical, robotic, or autonomous products, including at least one product taken through field deployment.
• Demonstrated experience writing, decomposing, and managing requirements, making high-level system behaviors measurable and testable, with traceability from requirement to design to verification.
• Hands-on experience with hazard and risk analysis (DFMEA/FMEDA, HARA, FTA) and turning results into requirements and test cases.
• Working knowledge of functional safety standards and concepts such as IEC 61508, ISO 13849, IEC 62061, ISO 26262, or similar.
• Strong hardware and software fundamentals, including the ability to bridge electrical schematics, embedded communication protocols, and firmware architecture, and to debug system-level issues with integration and firmware engineers.
• Proficiency in data analysis and scripting, including using hardware and field data to validate or challenge requirements.
• Clear written and verbal communication, with the ability to produce specifications that mechanical, electrical, and firmware teams can build and test against.
• Comfort with ambiguity, ability to move fast, and engineering curiosity to understand how the entire system works.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with requirements management tools such as Jama, Polarion, or DOORS, or model-based systems engineering (SysML).
• Experience supporting product safety certification (NRTL or notified body) as a technical contributor.
• Experience specifying or validating systems that include learned/ML-based components.
• Background in robotics, EV powertrains, drones, aerospace, or other dense electromechanical systems.
• Exposure to manufacturing self-test design or service diagnostics.

Responsibilities

• Own the system requirements baseline by capturing top-level robot behaviors and performance targets and decomposing them into measurable subsystem requirements, budgets, and interfaces, with traceability through verification.
• Define software requirements from high-level system requirements using first-principles analysis and hardware- or model-based testing.
• Contribute to architecture decisions for new robot subsystems, including communication protocols, control strategies, and hardware-software partitioning.
• Own interface definitions across mechanical, electrical, firmware, controls, and software teams, and manage requirement and interface changes and their cross-subsystem impact.
• Lead system-level failure mode and hazard analysis (DFMEA, HARA, FTA) with subsystem owners, and derive, allocate, and trace safety requirements to subsystems and their verification.
• Drive the verification and validation strategy, including system-level test plans from bench testing through field deployment, acceptance criteria, and requirements coverage.
• Work with subsystem owners to drive requirements and system-level coverage for on-robot diagnostics, telemetry, and health monitoring that support field deployment and service.
• Drive readiness reviews, sign-off, and post-launch monitoring across firmware, hardware, controls, reliability, and manufacturing stakeholders.
• Work with integration engineers to turn bench and field findings into requirement, interface, and design changes.
