Robotic Integration information
What is the difference between Robotic Integration vs Robotic Maintenance Technician?
| Aspect | Robotic Integration | Robotic Maintenance Technician |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | Technical certifications, engineering degrees | Technical certifications, hands-on training |
| Work Environment | Design, installation, and setup of robotic systems | Maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair of robotic systems |
| Employer & Industry Usage | Manufacturing, automation companies, system integrators | Manufacturing plants, automation service providers |
| Common Search & Comparison Intent | Understanding roles in robotic system setup | Learning about robotic system upkeep and repairs |
Robotic Integration professionals focus on designing, installing, and configuring robotic systems, often requiring engineering knowledge and certifications. In contrast, Robotic Maintenance Technicians specialize in maintaining, troubleshooting, and repairing existing robotic systems, emphasizing hands-on skills. Both roles are vital in automation industries but differ in their primary responsibilities and skill sets.

Job description
Are you passionate about robotics, autonomous systems, and advanced mission capabilities?
Do you enjoy collaborating with multidisciplinary teams through the development, integration, and transition of complex autonomous systems?
Are you interested in shaping the future of robotics and autonomy for critical national security missions?
The Tailored Autonomous Systems Group (QPJ) is seeking a Robotics & Autonomous Systems Engineer to help us develop, implement and field mission-tailored autonomous systems that perform sensing, decision-making, and coordinated action in complex operational environments. Our work spans perception, autonomy algorithms, platform behaviors, modeling and simulation, full stack development, and software deployment on resource-constrained systems.
As a Robotics & Autonomous Systems Engineer, you will...
- You will work closely with engineers, scientists, and program managers to develop mission-relevant autonomous systems for sponsors and end users in the defense and intelligence communities.
- You will contribute to the architecture, design, implementation, integration, and test of autonomy systems spanning sensing, software, communications, and hardware.
- You will develop and integrate capabilities including perception, planning, navigation, controls, AI/ML inference, and multi-agent autonomy on resource-constrained platforms.
- You will participate in system architecture trades, requirements development, interface definition, and technical design reviews throughout the system lifecycle.
- You will support verification, validation, and test activities, including simulation, hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL), laboratory integration, and field experimentation.
- You will collaborate across mechanical, electrical, software, systems, and AI/ML disciplines to deliver integrated mission capabilities.
- You will present technical work to project teams, leadership, and sponsors, while taking increasing ownership of technical tasks and project execution.
- You will contribute to proposal development, internal research initiatives (IRAD), and technology transition efforts that expand the group's autonomy portfolio.
Qualifications
You meet our minimum qualifications for the job if you...
- Hold a Bachelor's degree in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or another related technical field.
- Have at least 2 years of professional experience developing, integrating, testing, or fielding robotics, autonomous systems, embedded systems, or other complex engineering systems.
- Have experience contributing to the design, development, integration, and test of hardware and/or software systems.
- Have experience programming in one or more languages such as Python, C++, Rust, or similar.
- Have strong written and verbal communication skills and enjoy working in multidisciplinary engineering teams.
- Are able to obtain an Interim Top Secret security clearance by your start date and can ultimately obtain a Top Secret clearance. If selected, you will be subject to a government security clearance investigation and must meet the requirements for access to classified information. Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship.
You'll go above and beyond our minimum requirements if you...
- Hold a Master's degree in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline.
- Have experience developing robotic platforms, autonomous systems, or embedded systems for operational environments.
- Have experience with ROS/ROS2, Gazebo, Isaac Sim, Unreal Engine, AirSim, or similar robotics simulation environments.
- Have experience with hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) testing, digital twins, or simulation-based system development.
- Have experience with AI/ML, perception, planning, controls, SLAM, navigation, or multi-agent autonomy.
- Have experience with systems engineering, including requirements development, interface definition, system integration, verification, or technical trade studies.
- Have experience leading small technical efforts or work packages, including coordinating technical tasks across multiple disciplines.
- Have experience supporting proposal development or IRAD activities.
- Have experience working directly with DoD, Intelligence Community, or other government sponsors.
- Hold an active Top Secret security clearance.
