Responsibilities
- act as an automation knowledge base and resource to those teams, clearly communicating and explaining automation and robotics capabilities/limitations in both technical and non-technical manners.
- responsible for translating those objectives into machine requirements and developing solutions to meet those requirements through an iterative, collaborative and data-driven approach.
- design and build machine prototypes to test your ideas and provide a platform for Process Engineers to define key process variables and interactions.
- continue to develop the core robotics modules and peripheral systems through both hands-on creation and through external partnerships that you manage.
- lead machine landscaping activities for potential off-the-shelf components and sub-systems and partner with Business Development, Legal and Procurement functions to draft agreements with strategic partners and purchase equipment.
- validate and train others on the new systems, you will continue to support the teams by troubleshooting and upgrading the systems in development, in-particular the software and controls components handling motion and data acquisition.
- leverage functional processes and best-practices and identify improvements to these tools that can enable
Other
- Will accept any suitable combination of education, experience and training.
- 7+ years of applied experience in system design, integration of hardware solutions, robotics, or other mechatronics roles
- Experience as a technical lead within a multi-disciplinary team that includes vendors, integrators, and software engineers
- Comfortable with hands-on fabrication and assembly
- Comfortable moving fast and working with incomplete information
