About the role
- Design and deploy special projects that augment operators using projection, inkjet, and digital interfaces to drive intent on the factory floor.
- Integrate advanced sensing systems, including vision for quality inspection, UWB for localization, and real-time feedback loops.
- Build electromechanical subsystems—fixtures, robotic tools, material-handling devices—that connect seamlessly with software-first interfaces.
- Develop and prototype AI- and data-driven solutions to optimize throughput, reduce errors, and simplify decision-making.
- Lead scrappy prototyping and iterative testing, rapidly moving from concept to production-ready systems.
- Collaborate with software, manufacturing, and mechanical teams to deliver solutions that combine code, sensors, and machines into cohesive workflows.
- Document technical learnings and establish reusable patterns for software-driven augmentation across future factories.
Requirements
- Proven experience leading projects at the intersection of robotics, mechatronics, and software-driven automation.
- Hands-on skills with mechanical design, motion systems, and electromechanical integration.
- Strong software skills (Python, C++, ROS, vision frameworks, industrial APIs) for building interfaces, controls, and intelligent automation.
- Experience with sensing technologies: vision, UWB localization, projection, or similar operator-augmentation tools.
- Demonstrated ability to take ideas from prototype to production in a factory or high-stakes environment.
- High agency, problem-solving mindset, and comfort working in ambiguous problem spaces.
- Bonus: experience applying AI/ML for quality, workflow optimization, or predictive automation.
