Develops real-time motion-planning and control software for TX Phantom robot manipulators, integrating actuator drivers and ROS components to bring the robotic solution into operational use.
About this role
Working in the Humanoid department, the Principal Robotics Hardware Engineer owns robot-development problems with unclear requirements or solutions. The role forms and tests hypotheses from mechanics, materials and manufacturing, and sets system architecture, interfaces and performance allocation for robots and learning-data devices. Responsibilities include 3D-CAD design and drawings, design for manufacturing and assembly, and hands-on prototyping, assembly, measurement and evaluation. The engineer investigates failures, validates reliability and maintainability, resolves design issues with electrical, controls and software specialists, and leads cross-team technical reviews through implementation. Applicants need 7+ years of hardware design using mechanisms, drive systems, materials, strength, stiffness and tolerancing, with quantitative analysis and physical validation. They must have developed robots, mechatronic systems or complex mechanical equipment through hardware evaluation; create 3D-CAD designs and drawings; personally assemble, evaluate and analyze failures; and have solved novel problems experimentally while guiding engineers on cross-disciplinary issues.
