Role Overview

We are seeking an innovative Robotics Hardware Engineer specializing in robotics integration, robotic sensors, and electronics for harsh production environments. This role focuses on the design, development, and integration of electrical‑mechanical systems that drive advanced robotics. The ideal candidate will bring expertise in integrating multiple sensors for autonomy in real machines and bridging hardware with software for reliable and scalable robotic systems.

Key Responsibilities

Integrate and optimize robotic sensors (e.g., LiDAR, Radar, cameras, IMUs) into autonomous systems, ensuring accurate data acquisition and processing.
Design the mechanical integration of multiple sensors and compute on actual machines.
Lead electrical/mechanical engineering efforts in robotics production, focusing on manufacturability and scalability of hardware designs.
Develop and validate hardware‑electronic integration frameworks to streamline communication between actuators, sensors, and control units.
Collaborate with software engineers to design cohesive systems, ensuring compatibility and performance.
Troubleshoot and optimize complex systems in the field, addressing EMI, power management, and signal integrity issues.
Participate in all product development phases, from initial concept through prototyping, testing, and mass production.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
Knowledge of deploying electronics hardware in adverse conditions and implementing robust power and data transfer.
Experience designing and integrating robotic sensors with hardware and software.
Proficiency in CAD/CAM tools for mechanical and electrical design, including 3D printing and prototyping.
Hands‑on experience with rugged industrial/automotive connectors and wire harness design.
Solid understanding of embedded systems, microcontrollers, and communication protocols (e.g., CAN, I2C, SPI).
Strong analytical skills with a proven track record of solving complex electrical and integration challenges.

Preferred Skills

Familiarity with industrial robotic platforms and autonomy systems.
Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, C++, or firmware development for embedded systems.
Practical understanding of actuators, motors, and closed‑loop control systems.
Knowledge of production techniques, including assembly, testing, and quality assurance.
Proven ability to work in agile and fast‑paced development environments; a Swiss‑knife attitude from hands‑on tasks to high‑level designs.
