What are robotics jobs?

Robotics jobs involve designing, building, programming, testing, and maintaining robots or robotic systems. Professionals in this field may work in industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, automotive, aerospace, and research, focusing on automation and innovative technology solutions. Roles can include robotics engineers, technicians, programmers, and researchers, all working together to improve efficiency, safety, and productivity through robotics. These positions typically require knowledge in areas like mechanical engineering, electronics, computer programming, and artificial intelligence.

What are the qualifications to get a job in robotics?

The qualifications you need to get a job in robotics depend on the position you are interested in. Engineers and designers typically need a bachelor’s or master’s degree in robotics, mechanical or electrical engineering, or computer science, as well as strong programming skills. Some technicians and operators also need to have a bachelor’s degree or extensive training. Good technical and analytical skills are required for work in robotics. The duties of these positions vary significantly, although in many cases job responsibilities overlap. For example, engineers often gather advice and technical knowledge from technicians and operators about how robots function when they design new systems.

How do robotics professionals typically collaborate with other engineering disciplines during a project?

Robotics professionals frequently work in cross-functional teams alongside electrical, mechanical, and software engineers. This collaboration ensures that robotic systems are seamlessly integrated, from hardware design to control algorithms and user interfaces. Effective communication and iterative problem-solving are key, as team members must align on technical requirements, system architecture, and testing protocols. Such teamwork not only enhances project outcomes but also provides valuable opportunities to broaden technical skills and learn from other engineering domains.

What is the difference between Robotics vs Mechanical Engineering?

AspectRoboticsMechanical Engineering
Required CredentialsTypically requires a degree in Robotics, Electrical, or Mechanical Engineering; certifications in automation or control systemsRequires a degree in Mechanical Engineering; professional licensure may be preferred
Work EnvironmentOften involves working with automation systems, programming robots, and integrating hardware/softwareFocuses on designing, analyzing, and manufacturing mechanical systems
Industry UsageUsed in automation, manufacturing, aerospace, and researchApplied across automotive, aerospace, energy, and manufacturing sectors

Robotics and Mechanical Engineering share overlapping skills, especially in design and systems analysis. However, Robotics emphasizes automation, programming, and system integration, while Mechanical Engineering focuses on mechanical design and analysis. Both fields are vital in manufacturing and technology sectors, but Robotics professionals often work more with software and control systems, whereas Mechanical Engineers concentrate on physical components.

Is robotics still a good career?

Robotics is a growing field with increasing demand for engineers and technicians skilled in automation, programming, and systems integration. Careers in robotics often require knowledge of programming languages like Python or C++, and familiarity with hardware and sensors, making it a viable and evolving profession with strong job prospects.

Job description

About Nimble
 

Nimble is an AI robotics company building the autonomous supply chain to power fast, efficient and economical commerce. We're training robot AGI to power a proprietary generalist supply chain superhumanoid, the first robot in the world capable of performing thousands of tasks across the supply chain. We've raised over $220M at over $1B valuation and formed a strategic alliance with FedEx to build a national network of autonomous warehouses capable of generating many billions in annual revenue. We are a hardcore and obsessed team of the world's best engineers and operators. If you are obsessed with your craft, enjoy a high-intensity and fast moving high impact environment, are super high agency in getting hard things done and want to be part of building the world's most legendary robotics company at the most pivotal moment in history, we want to work with you.

We are on a mission to empower and inspire mankind to accomplish legendary feats by inventing robots that liberate us from the menial. We will accomplish this by training robot AGI to invent and build the Autonomous Supply Chain - everything from the inside of factories and warehouses to your front door - powered by generalist superhumanoids.

Our founding team comes from the AI labs at Stanford and Carnegie Mellon and our board of directors include famed robotics and AI legends including Fei-Fei Li (Chief Scientist of AI at Google and Director of Stanford's AI Lab), Marc Raibert (founder of Boston Dynamics), and Sebastian Thrun (founder of GoogleX, Waymo; Stanford Professor and considered the father of autonomous vehicles).

Let's be legendary.

Role Summary

You will play a crucial role in the development and architecture of our next-generation robotics diagnostic system and improve the reliability and maintainability of the robotic fleet. You will architect the diagnostic test structure and translate complex sensor readings and error logs into actionable, easy-to-read health reports. Your work is expected to accelerate root cause analysis for engineering, manufacturing, and support teams. This role requires tight collaboration with our Data and Infrastructure teams, and the Operations team to build a robust, scalable diagnostic infrastructure.
