Paint Robotics Engineer information

What is a Paint Robotics Engineer?

A Paint Robotics Engineer is a professional who designs, programs, and maintains robotic systems used for painting applications in manufacturing and industrial settings. They work with advanced robotics and automation technologies to ensure consistent, high-quality paint finishes on products such as automobiles, appliances, or machinery. Their responsibilities often include integrating robotic arms, troubleshooting technical issues, optimizing paint application processes, and ensuring safety standards are met. Paint Robotics Engineers play a crucial role in increasing production efficiency and reducing waste in automated painting operations.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Paint Robotics Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Paint Robotics Engineer, you need a strong background in robotics, automation, mechanical or electrical engineering, and typically a relevant bachelor's degree. Proficiency with robotics programming languages (such as RAPID, KRL, or FANUC), PLCs, CAD software, and experience with paint application systems are commonly required. Analytical thinking, problem-solving, and effective teamwork are vital soft skills that set top candidates apart. These skills ensure precise and efficient robotic paint application, minimize downtime, and support high-quality production in manufacturing environments.

What is the difference between Paint Robotics Engineer vs Robotic Automation Technician?

AspectPaint Robotics EngineerRobotic Automation Technician
CredentialsBachelor's in Engineering or related field, certifications in robotics or automationTechnical diploma or associate degree, certifications in robotics or automation
Work EnvironmentManufacturing plants, automotive, aerospace industriesManufacturing facilities, maintenance departments
Job FocusDesign, programming, and optimizing paint robot systemsMaintaining, troubleshooting, and repairing robotic systems

Paint Robotics Engineers focus on designing and programming paint robot systems, ensuring optimal performance. Robotic Automation Technicians handle the maintenance and repair of these systems. Both roles require knowledge of robotics and automation, but their responsibilities differ in scope and focus.

What are some common challenges Paint Robotics Engineers face when integrating robotic painting systems into existing manufacturing lines?

Paint Robotics Engineers often encounter challenges such as ensuring compatibility with existing production equipment, minimizing downtime during installation, and calibrating robots for various paint types and finishes. Coordinating with cross-functional teams—including maintenance, production, and quality assurance—is essential to address workflow disruptions and ensure optimal paint coverage. Additionally, engineers must continuously optimize robotic paths and spray parameters to maintain high-quality standards and reduce paint waste, all while adhering to strict safety and environmental regulations.

Job description

Role Description

The Vehicle Generalization team within Robotics Engineering is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Robotics Generalist to ensure the successful integration, characterization, and evaluation of our autonomous driving software across a growing range of new vehicle platforms. The Vehicle Generalization team enables efficient, scaleable, and predictable deployment of the Wayve autonomous driving stack across a wide range of vehicle platforms by maximizing the generalizability of our core autonomy where possible. The ideal candidate will be a generalist capable of quickly tackling complex, cross-functional challenges on-site at our Sunnyvale location, working closely with Measurement and Application Engineering teams.

Key Responsibilities
  • Lead vehicle generalization benchmark evaluation and metrics tooling. Creation, curation, and dedicated focus on cross-platform and vehicle-to-vehicle variability. 
  • Able to dive deep into pragmatic variabilities with different platforms and get hands-on, and zoom out to paint a bigger picture for driving the larger generalization metrics story.
  • Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with a broad range of teams from OEM support engineering, to measurement, and controls.
  • Customer Program Support: Provide on-the-ground technical support enabling the autonomy stack for key customer programs (e.g., Nissan, Stellantis), which may require domestic and international travel.
About YouEssential
  • Experience with data-driven development, including defining metrics, building tooling, and performing data analysis.
  • Core Robotics Expertise: Strong background and practical experience with control system design, state estimation (including odometry and localization), and sensor fusion.
  • Programming: Proficiency in C++ and Python.
  • System Thinking: Demonstrated strong robotics system thinking, enabling quick diagnosis and resolution of complex integration issues in dynamic environments.
  • Location/Travel: Willingness and ability to travel (domestic and international) for on-the-ground customer and vehicle support. Must be based in Sunnyvale, CA.
  • Excellent cross-functional communication and teamwork skills.
Desirable
  • Familiarity with mapping/navigation data and advanced odometry techniques.
  • Experience with advanced control techniques, particularly where motion planning/control is influenced by or performed by a neural network

This role is a full-time role based in Sunnyvale, CA (hybrid) and the reasonably estimated salary for this role ranges from $209,700 to $253,000, plus a competitive equity package. Actual compensation is based on the candidate's skills, qualifications, and experience.
