Description
We're seeking a Staff Robotics Engineer to join our Manufacturing Automation team. As a member of this team, you will have the opportunity to help define what production automation looks like for Anduril at a national scale.
Your primary responsibilities will include selecting, designing, and integrating industrial robots and cobots for manufacturing automation, developing and optimizing robot programs, specifying and selecting End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT), and designing and managing robot cell layouts.
You will also be responsible for implementing and verifying safety functions, developing and executing simulation models, selecting and integrating robot dresspacks, and developing and enforcing internal standards for robotic system design, programming, safety, and integration.
As a Staff Robotics Engineer, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration of robotic systems and contribute to the development of new technologies and processes.
To be successful in this role, you will need a strong background in robotics and automation, with expertise in programming and commissioning robots and cobots from FANUC and UR. You should also have significant experience in utilizing robot simulation software, such as RoboDK, FANUC ROBOGUIDE, and UR Virtual Controller.
In addition, you will need a strong theoretical and practical understanding of robot kinematics, dynamics, motion control, and advanced path planning techniques. You should also have a strong capability in the configuration, tuning, and troubleshooting of robot drives, servo motors, and associated motion control systems.
A bachelor's degree in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a closely related field is required, along with 8+ years of hands-on experience in robotics and automation within a manufacturing production environment.
Preferred qualifications include 12+ years of hands-on experience in robotics and automation, experience designing robots and other mechatronic systems from scratch, and TUV FS Engineer certification (Functional Safety of Machinery).
In terms of salary, the estimated range for this role is $166,000-$220,000 USD per year, with highly competitive equity grants included in the majority of full-time offers.
