What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in a Robotics Laboratory, and why are they important?

To thrive in a Robotics Laboratory, you need a solid background in robotics, mechanical and electrical engineering, and programming, typically supported by a relevant degree such as in robotics, mechatronics, or computer engineering. Familiarity with tools and systems like ROS (Robot Operating System), CAD software, embedded systems, and programming languages such as Python and C++ is essential. Strong problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and effective communication are critical soft skills in this environment. These combined skills enable innovation, safe operation, and successful collaboration on complex robotics projects.

What are some common challenges faced when working in a Robotics Laboratory, and how can they be addressed?

Working in a Robotics Laboratory often involves tackling complex integration issues between hardware and software, troubleshooting unexpected system failures, and adapting to rapidly evolving technologies. Team members must collaborate closely with engineers, programmers, and researchers to design, test, and refine prototypes. Clear communication and a willingness to learn new tools are essential for overcoming technical hurdles and ensuring project success. Additionally, staying organized and documenting processes can help mitigate challenges and support continuous improvement within the lab environment.

What is a Robotics Laboratory?

A Robotics Laboratory is a specialized facility where researchers, engineers, and students design, build, test, and analyze robots and robotic systems. These labs are equipped with advanced tools, computers, sensors, and robotic components to support experimentation and innovation in robotics. Robotics Laboratories often focus on areas like artificial intelligence, automation, human-robot interaction, and machine learning, and play a vital role in advancing technology for industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and space exploration.

What is the difference between Robotics Laboratory vs Robotics Engineer?

Job description

Software Engineer – Intelligent Robotics

Location: Hartford, CT
Employment Type: Full-Time

NOTE: ROBOTICS EXPERIENCE IS AN ABSOLUTE REQUIREMENT. Please only apply if you have prior experience developing software to control the motion of robots or automated equipment (robotics).

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced and dynamic Software Engineer who thrives at the intersection of intelligent robotics and automation. In this role, you will design and deliver software that powers next‑generation robotic platforms used in high‑tech laboratory environments.

You will own meaningful features end‑to‑end, contribute to architectural decisions, and help elevate the team through mentorship and technical leadership. If you enjoy solving complex automation challenges and building reliable systems that make a real-world impact, this role is for you.

What You'll Do

  • Design and develop leading edge embedded control software, automation workflows, and application‑level tools for robotic systems.
  • Build and optimize core automation libraries that simplify robotic programming and improve system performance.
  • Collaborate with Mechanical, Electrical, and Manufacturing Engineering teams to develop bring‑up, diagnostic, and production test software.
  • Troubleshoot real‑world field issues and partner with Customer Care to drive reliability improvements.
  • Contribute to software architecture, design reviews, and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Mentor junior engineers and support a culture of technical excellence.
  • Ensure all development aligns with ISO 13485 and internal quality standards.
  • Stay current with advancements in robotics, motion control, embedded systems, and automation technologies—and bring those insights into product development.

What You Bring

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 3–15+ years of software development experience in robotics, automation, or embedded systems.
  • Strong proficiency in Java (or other 4GL Object Oriented languages like Python or C/C++) expert level required.
  • Deep understanding of object‑oriented design, system integration, and software architecture.
  • Experience with real‑time embedded systems, motion control, sensors, and electrical interfacing.
  • Familiarity with industrial automation protocols, machine vision, or real‑time data processing is a plus.
  • Hands-on experience with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and modern development workflows.
  • Exposure to web technologies (Angular, Node.js), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), or database systems is beneficial.
  • Proven ability to mentor others and lead small technical initiatives.
  • Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and communication skills.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast‑paced environment with multiple priorities.

Why Join

  • Grow your career in cutting-edge robotics that directly support scientific innovation.
  • Family‑first culture with exceptionally low turnover — people stay because they love it - office BBQs, social events, and in‑house game competitions.
  • A true promote‑from‑within environment where your growth is a priority.
  • A team that values outgoing, collaborative people who bring a positive attitude.
  • Exceptional health benefits to support you and your family.

How to Apply

If you're excited about building software that powers real-world robotics and want to make an impact in a high‑growth environment, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today and help shape the future of laboratory automation.
