Robotics Systems Engineer

The role

You will integrate and test robotic systems including actuation and perception hardware. You will work with mechanical, electrical, and software engineers to diagnose issues and refine manufacturing and QA processes.

What you will do

• Integrate and test robotic systems, including both actuation and perception hardware
• Triage and debug cross-disciplinary issues spanning mechanical, electrical, firmware, and software systems
• Bring up, test, and evaluate key components, such as sensors and actuators
• Maintain motor and sensor drivers, and related software tools, in Python / C++
• Develop clear processes for robot assembly, bringup, QA testing, and troubleshooting
• Help define component and subsystem performance requirements, and develop test plans
• Support design of robot HW and SW systems to optimize architecture

Required qualifications

• 3+ years of experience working with complex robotic or electromechanical systems
• Proficiency in Python or C++
• Strong system-level understanding of robotics hardware, firmware, and software layers
• Deep familiarity with standard diagnostic tools (oscilloscope, multimeter, logic analyzers)
• Experience developing test plans and procedures for electromechanical systems

Nice to have

• Deep experience in protocols including CAN, Ethernet, USB, MIPI, GMSL
• Experience with quasi-direct-drive actuators
• Experience calibrating computer vision systems
