Job Details
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Develop, configure, and optimize robotic applications (articulated robots, collaborative robots, and humanoid robot platforms).
- Create and maintain robot programs in vendor-specific languages (e.g., KUKA KRL, Fanuc TP, ABB RAPID, URScript) and humanoid robot SDKs (e.g., NVIDIA Isaac, Unitree, Boston Dynamics API, or similar).
- Develop interface logic for automated workflows, data exchange, and system monitoring with MES, PLC, SCADA, and IoT gateways using industrial protocols such as OPC UA, MQTT, Profinet, EtherCAT, Modbus TCP, REST API, and fieldbus communication.
- Ensure robotic system designs comply with ISO and regulatory standards (e.g., ISO 10218, ISO/TS 15066 for cobots, RIA, CE marking, machine guarding).
- Lead full lifecycle testing—from offline simulation to factory commissioning.
- Troubleshoot robotic motion issues, communication failures, PLC logic, and interface problems.
- Ensure compliance to Quality/Regulatory/ISO13485, cGMP/GDP, HSE, Finance and Corporate policies.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Automation Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related technical field.
- 3–8 years of direct hands-on experience developing robotic systems in a manufacturing or R&D environment.
- Experience with humanoid robotics or advanced AI-driven manipulation/autonomy is a significant advantage.
- Ability to translate user needs into intuitive digital interfaces.
- Comfortable working in fast paced, experimental environments.
- Clear communicator who collaborates effectively across disciplines.
