Senior Robotics Engineer, Data & Perception

About the job

At Senra Systems, we're building a new model for complex manufacturing, starting with electrical wire harnesses. We're a real manufacturer, not a lab: we build harnesses on our own production lines for some of the largest aerospace and defense companies in the country. Long term, automating this work is how we help bring complex manufacturing back to the U.S.

We're looking for a Senior Engineer to own the technical implementation of the data and perception layer in our Automation Program: the cameras, sensors, pipelines, and models that turn what happens on our production lines into data our factory software, our industrial engineers, and our robots can use. High-mix assembly has long resisted automation partly because the work is hard to see and measure. You'll change that: instrument the line, build the data infrastructure behind it, and build the perception our robotic cells and our robot learning work depend on. Real hardware, on a real line, in real production.

This is a hands-on senior role on a small team with aggressive goals. You'll report to one of Senra's cofounders, our Head of AI & Robotics, who owns the technical vision for the program. You'll partner with the other senior engineers on the team to execute it, and help shape where it goes as we build. It's a lot of work, with a lot of ownership, and what you build goes onto the line fast.
