What is a robotics research?

A Robotics Research job involves investigating, designing, and developing robotic systems to improve automation, artificial intelligence, and mechanical capabilities. Researchers in this field explore new algorithms, hardware innovations, and control techniques to enhance robotics applications in industries like healthcare, manufacturing, and space exploration. They often work with simulation software, machine learning models, and physical prototypes to test and refine robotic systems. The role typically requires expertise in computer science, engineering, and mathematics, along with strong problem-solving skills.

What are the typical daily responsibilities of a robotics researcher?

As a Robotics Researcher, daily tasks often include designing experiments, developing and testing algorithms, and analyzing data to improve robotic systems. You might collaborate with electrical, mechanical, or software engineers to integrate new technologies or refine existing prototypes. You will also frequently document your findings, write research papers or reports, and present results to your team or at conferences. The work environment is typically collaborative, with a focus on continuous learning and innovation to advance both theoretical knowledge and practical applications.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in robotics research, and why are they important?

To thrive in Robotics Research, you need a strong background in robotics, computer science, engineering, and mathematics, typically supported by an advanced degree such as a master's or Ph.D. in a related field. Familiarity with programming languages (e.g., Python, C++), robotics platforms (such as ROS), and simulation or CAD tools is often essential. Critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and strong collaboration and communication skills are highly valued soft skills in this role. These competencies enable researchers to design and implement innovative solutions, work effectively in multidisciplinary teams, and advance the field of robotics.

Role Overview:

We are looking for a skilled Electronics / Embedded Engineer to enhance our team. This role requires a strong background in electronics design, embedded firmware, and hardware deployed in harsh environments. The successful candidate will be instrumental in building the electronic systems and firmware that connect our AI stack to real machines and keep them running reliably in the field.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Design and bring up custom electronics – schematics, PCB layout, and component selection – for sensor interfacing, power distribution, and machine control.

  • Develop and validate embedded firmware on microcontrollers for sensor acquisition, actuator drive, and safety-relevant functions.

  • Own the electrical architecture of the machine kit, covering power budgeting, protection, grounding, EMC, and rugged wire harness design.

  • Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to integrate hardware and firmware into the wider robotic system, from prototype through field testing to repeatable production.

Required Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Engineering, or a related field.

  • Proficient in embedded C/C++ on ARM Cortex-M or comparable microcontrollers.

  • Proven experience taking electronics from schematic to working board using tools such as Altium or KiCad.

  • Solid understanding of communication protocols (CAN/CAN FD, I2C, SPI, UART, Ethernet) and the instruments used to debug them.

  • Practical experience deploying electronics and wire harnesses in adverse industrial or automotive conditions, including power protection and signal integrity.

Preferred Skills:
  • Practical experience with off-highway machinery, automotive, or other safety-relevant platforms.

  • Familiarity with functional safety and EMC standards such as ISO 13849, IEC 61508, or CISPR 25.

  • Knowledge of electrical integration for Linux-based compute platforms such as NVIDIA Jetson or industrial PCs.

  • Experience with motors, actuators, valve drivers, and closed-loop control.

  • Proven track record of shipping hardware into production, from test jigs and bring-up procedures through to field servicing.

What We Offer:
  • Build physical AI for the world's largest off-highway machinery – making them intelligent, safe, and ready for every tough task

  • Join the pioneer in intelligent robotics backed by Point Nine & other Tier 1 investors

  • Combine cutting-edge robotics research in end-to-end learning & Vision Language Action Model with real-world heavy mobile equipment
