You will be designing and owning the hardware for robotic systems deployed in demanding industrial and manufacturing environments, including:
Collaborative robots (cobots) that work safely alongside human operators in assembly, inspection, and logistics workflows.
Vision-guided robotic systems using cameras, LiDAR, and ToF sensors for real-time perception, navigation, and quality control.
Motor-driven actuation systems including multi-axis joints, grippers, and end-effectors with precision encoder feedback.
High-bandwidth compute platforms (NVIDIA Jetson) running AI/ML inference for object detection, path planning, and anomaly detection on the production line.
Robust industrial communication backbones using EtherCAT, Ethernet, and wireless protocols for real-time control and fleet management.
