Senior Robotics Engineer, Production
Senra Systems, Cypress, California +1
The role
We're looking for a Senior Robotics Engineer to own the technical implementation of robotics on our production lines, as part of our Automation Program. High-mix assembly is one of the hardest problems in manufacturing and has long resisted automation. You'll take it on with classical methods where they work and learning-based methods where they don't, building cells that sit on our production lines, take over one or more operations, and hand off to our industrial engineering team to run and scale, while you keep owning the software that runs them. 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.
You and our Senior Robotics Engineer, Robot Learning work as one loop. They take on the tasks fixtures and programming can't reach yet, and what they learn comes back to you: trained skills, perception and grasping models, and why a grasp or insertion fails. You fold it into the cells on the line, and your cells generate the production data that trains the next skills.
