Description:
We're in search of a dynamic Senior/Lead Robotic Systems Engineer to drive the design, prototyping, and hardware selection for cutting-edge linear motion track systems. Collaborating closely with manufacturing partners, you'll craft customized end effectors and grippers tailored specifically for cobots, with the ultimate aim of revolutionizing the pick-and-ship process in warehouses using Universal Robots, transforming them into commercial-grade automation solutions.
Roles and Responsibilities:
- Oversee the end-to-end design, prototyping and fabricating of commercial-grade robotic systems, from concept to production, ensuring adherence to quality standards and project requirements.
- Design and develop robotic end effectors tailored to specific applications, considering factors such as payload capacity, precision, and environmental constraints.
- Apply principles of mechanical engineering to create robust and reliable end effector designs. Ensure designs meet performance requirements and adhere to industry standards.
- Manage end-to-end manufacturing and fabrication processes, from material selection to final assembly, focusing on efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability.
- prototyping and fabricating advanced linear motion track systems specifically tailored for cobot applications, ensuring seamless integration and optimized performance in various industrial settings.
- Conduct thorough compatibility assessments to align the motion track capabilities with cobot specifications, including load capacity, speed, precision, and environmental conditions.
- Lead the selection and integration of industrial automation hardware, focusing on the development of robust, scalable, and efficient automation solutions.
- Deep understanding of industrial communication protocols (e.g., OPC UA, EtherCAT, Profinet) and how to implement them for seamless machine-to-machine communication and system interoperability.
- Oversee the integration of automation components into existing systems, ensuring compatibility, performance optimization, and adherence to safety and regulatory standards.
- Expertise in selecting high-quality industrial and commercial grade hardware components, ensuring they meet the rigorous demands of industrial applications and comply with relevant standards.
- Conduct comprehensive testing and validation of hardware systems to ensure they perform reliably under various conditions and meet all operational requirements.
- Develop advanced control algorithms for robotic systems, leveraging sensors, actuators, and feedback mechanisms to achieve precise control and intelligent behavior.
- Ensure hardware compliance by staying abreast of industry standards and regulations, incorporating them into the design and development processes.
- Utilize end-to-end prototyping methods, including 3D printing, CNC machining, laser cutting, and optionally PCB fabrication and assembly.
- Demonstrate proficiency in mechanical design principles, encompassing joint mechanisms, Design for Assembly (DFA), and Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
