Robotics Manipulator Engineer (Software Architecture)

Your Mission This position is responsible for building a robotic manipulation software platform that transforms proven bin-picking technologies into a scalable, maintainable, and deployable product for rollout across manufacturing facilities worldwide. The successful candidate will lead the internalization, standardization, and productization of the company’s robotic manipulation software platform. What To Expect • Define and maintain the overall architecture of the robotic manipulation software platform. • Transform existing project-specific software into a reusable and configurable software product. • Establish software architecture standards, coding guidelines, and development frameworks. • Drive the modularization and standardization of software components for global deployment. • Design scalable software infrastructure that supports multiple factories, part families, and robotic cells. • Architect end-to-end robotic manipulation pipelines, including vision processing, object segmentation, 6D pose estimation, grasp planning, motion planning, and robot execution. • Design scalable MLOps infrastructure and architect AI model deployment workflows, including data management, model training, validation, deployment, and monitoring. • Develop deployment strategies for global factory rollouts. • Create software architecture documentation, standards, and best practices. • Support technology transfer to regional engineering teams. • Lead architecture reviews and technical design discussions, and evaluate emerging robotics and AI technologies. • Prepare technical reports, document program code, and develop setup manuals. What You'll Bring • Master’s or PhD degree in Robotics, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline, with more than 3 years of industry experience. • Extensive experience in software architecture or robotics software development. • Proven ability to develop scalable software platforms rather than project-specific solutions. • Experience with industrial automation systems and a strong understanding of industrial communication protocols such as OPC UA and PROFINET. • Proficiency in implementing control and communication solutions using C#, SQL, REST APIs, and MQTT. • Ability to program industrial robotic manipulators using C/C++ and Python. • Strong knowledge of robotic bin-picking systems and related AI solutions, including pose estimation, synthetic data generation, reinforcement learning, and imitation learning. • Experience with ROS 1 or ROS 2, Linux-based operating systems, ARM-based systems, and related libraries and software tools. • Patents, publications, specialist certifications, or awards in robotics and automation would be an added advantage. • Strong troubleshooting skills and a methodical approach to fault diagnosis.
