Robots information

What is a robot?

Robots are programmable machines capable of carrying out a series of actions automatically, often designed to perform tasks that are repetitive, dangerous, or require precision. They can be autonomous or remotely controlled and are used in various industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics. Modern robots often utilize artificial intelligence to interact with their environment and learn from experience. Their applications continue to expand as technology advances.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a robotics engineer?

To thrive as a Robotics Engineer, you need a solid background in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science, typically supported by a relevant degree in engineering or robotics. Familiarity with programming languages (such as Python, C++, or ROS), CAD software, and robotics simulation tools is crucial, along with certifications like Certified Robotics Programmer. Problem-solving ability, teamwork, and strong communication skills are vital soft skills for this role. These skills and qualities are important to design, build, and maintain complex robotic systems that meet industry needs and ensure safe, efficient operation.

What are some common challenges faced by robotics engineers when working on multidisciplinary teams?

Robotics engineers often collaborate closely with professionals from diverse fields such as mechanical engineering, software development, and electronics. One common challenge is ensuring effective communication across specialties, as team members may use different technical languages and approaches. Balancing competing priorities—like hardware constraints versus software requirements—can also be complex. Successful robotics engineers are proactive about seeking clarification, sharing updates, and working collaboratively toward integrated solutions, which helps keep projects on track and fosters innovation.

What is the difference between Robots vs Automation Technicians?

AspectRobotsAutomation Technicians
CredentialsTypically no formal credentials required, but knowledge of robotics and programming helpsOften requires technical certifications or associate degrees in automation or electronics
Work EnvironmentFactories, manufacturing plants, warehousesManufacturing facilities, maintenance workshops, industrial settings
Job RoleDesign, programming, and maintenance of robotic systemsInstallation, troubleshooting, and repair of automated equipment and systems

Robots are physical machines used in automation processes, while Automation Technicians are skilled workers who install, maintain, and repair these systems. Robots are the tools, and technicians are the professionals ensuring their proper operation in industrial environments.

How can I get a job in robotics?

To get a job in robotics, develop skills in programming, mechanical design, and control systems, often through a degree in robotics, engineering, or computer science. Gaining experience with robotics tools like ROS and programming languages such as Python or C++ can improve employability. Internships and certifications in robotics or automation can also enhance your chances of securing a position.

What careers are in robotics?

Careers in robotics include roles such as robotics engineer, automation technician, robotic systems programmer, and research scientist. These positions typically require knowledge of programming languages like C++ or Python, understanding of mechanical and electrical systems, and often a background in engineering or computer science. Professionals in this field work in industries like manufacturing, healthcare, and research laboratories, often utilizing tools such as CAD software and robotic simulation platforms.

What kind of jobs can robots do?

Robots can perform a variety of jobs including manufacturing, assembly, packaging, and material handling in factories. They are also used in logistics, healthcare for surgery assistance, and in hazardous environments for tasks unsafe for humans, often requiring programming skills and technical maintenance knowledge.

Job description

Your Mission & Challenges

As a Proof of Concept Engineer for Mobile Service Robots, you will lead short-cycle customer projects for NEURA's autonomous mobile service robotics solutions. You will bridge the gap between product development and customer success by rapidly deploying, validating, and optimizing robotic applications in real customer environments.

Customer Proof of Concepts & Deployments
  • Own and execute customer Proof of Concept projects.
  • Design, configure, and deploy autonomous mobile robotic solutions for customer-specific applications.
  • Demonstrate the value of NEURA Robotics technologies through hands‑on implementation and measurable customer outcomes.
  • Act as the technical interface between customers, sales and engineering teams.
Product Feedback & Innovation
  • Gather field insights and translate customer feedback into actionable product improvements.
  • Identify emerging automation opportunities and future use cases for autonomous mobile service robots.
  • Collaborate closely with software, perception, navigation, and manipulation teams to accelerate product maturity and market adoption.
Autonomous Navigation & Perception
  • Configure and optimize autonomous navigation in dynamic and unstructured environments.
  • Understand, analyze, and adapt localization, mapping, path planning, and obstacle avoidance for customer applications.
  • Tune multi‑sensor perception systems including LiDAR, RGB/RGB‑D cameras, IMUs, and additional environmental sensors.
  • Validate sensor performance and optimize perception pipelines for robust real‑world operation.
Mobile Manipulation & Application Development
  • Develop robotic applications that combine autonomous navigation with manipulation tasks.
  • Adapt manipulation strategies to varying robot poses and object locations, ensuring reliable operation despite positioning tolerances.
  • Integrate grippers, vision systems, and external automation equipment into complete customer solutions.
  • Prototype, test, and validate applications both in laboratory environments and at customer sites.
Customer Demonstrations & Technical Support
  • Conduct live product demonstrations for customers, partners, and strategic prospects.
  • Travel regularly to customer sites across Europe and internationally to support evaluations, pilots, and deployments.
  • Troubleshoot technical challenges onsite and provide rapid, hands‑on solutions.
  • Represent NEURA Robotics at trade shows, customer workshops, and industry events.
What We Can Look Forward To
  • At least 5 years of professional experience in robotics, autonomous systems, automation, or related engineering fields.
  • Strong hands‑on engineering mindset with a passion for robotics, customer interaction, and rapid problem solving.
  • Experience implementing, commissioning, or supporting robotic or automation solutions in real‑world environments.
