• Conduct Design of Experiments (DOE) and develop solutions to complex technical challenges.
• Perform software regression and unit testing .
• Prototype, test, and refine mechanical, electrical, and software subsystems to improve performance and reliability.
• Develop detailed engineering documentation , including CAD models, schematics, and technical specifications.
• Present data-driven reports and technical recommendations to internal stakeholders.
• Lead hands-on testing and validation in the robotics lab (onsite role).
• Apply structured problem-solving methods (e.g., 8D) to investigate and resolve technical issues.
• Act as a liaison for cross-functional projects across multiple engineering disciplines.
• Engage in robotic path programming and computer vision integration .
• Mentor and train engineers, technicians, and production personnel.
• Research and implement emerging mechatronics and robotics technologies to enhance system capabilities.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechatronics, Robotics, Mechanical Engineering , or related field.
• 6–15 years of relevant engineering experience.
• Background in robotics systems and automation .
• Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills.
• Ability to work independently and manage individual projects.
• Working knowledge of statistical process control and basic statistical analysis .
• Demonstrated experience in project ownership from concept to deployment.

Preferred Qualifications
