Robotics Engineer

Robotics Engineers design, build, and program robots for manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and consumer applications. They integrate mechanical systems, sensors, and AI to create autonomous systems that interact with the physical world.

Key Responsibilities: • Design robotic systems and control algorithms • Implement computer vision and sensor fusion • Develop motion planning and navigation systems • Program robot behaviors and safety systems • Test and debug robotic systems • Integrate AI/ML into robotic applications

Required Skills: ROS (Robot Operating System), Python/C++, computer vision, SLAM, path planning, control theory, embedded systems, sensor fusion, simulation (Gazebo), kinematics, dynamics

Career Path: Junior robotics engineers work on specific subsystems. Mid-level engineers lead robot development projects. Senior engineers architect entire robotic platforms. Principal engineers set technical direction for robotics programs.
