Robotics Calibration Engineer

Job#: 3033676

Job Description:
Robotics Calibration Engineer

Location: Warren, Michigan
Employment Type: Contract

Role Overview

A position is available for a Robotics Calibration Engineer to join an AI Research team. This role will own the accuracy, consistency, and production readiness of robotic calibration across perception, kinematics, and manipulation systems. The engineer will define calibration requirements, develop scalable calibration pipelines, and ensure calibration integrity across simulation, lab setups, and industrial workcells.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain robot calibration pipelines for camera extrinsics, hand-eye calibration, and multi-sensor alignment.
• Define calibration accuracy metrics and acceptance criteria, ensuring consistent computation across all environments.
• Build tooling and automation for calibration data collection, execution, validation, and reporting.
• Develop simulation and log-replay workflows to validate calibration procedures and diagnose failure modes.
• Support hardware-in-the-loop and real-cell setups by integrating calibration into system bring-up and testing.
• Establish calibration maintenance strategies, including recalibration triggers and health monitoring for long-term reliability.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to debug calibration-driven failures and implement corrective actions.
• Produce clear documentation and standards for industrial deployment criteria.

Required Qualifications

Education: A B.S. or M.S. in Robotics, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field is required.

Experience: Hands-on experience with camera and robot calibration techniques is necessary. Candidates should have experience working with real robotic hardware, sensors, and production-like environments.

Technical Skills: Proficiency in Python and/or C++ is required. A strong understanding of robot kinematics, coordinate frames, transformations, and error propagation is also expected.

Preferred Qualifications

• 2+ years of industry experience in robotics calibration, system integration, or perception engineering.
• Experience with ROS 2, including sensor drivers and calibration workflows.
• Familiarity with industrial robot deployment contexts, including commissioning and maintenance.
• Knowledge of measurement uncertainty, repeatability analysis, and accuracy validation for robotic systems.

Compensation & Benefits

The anticipated pay range for this position is $45.00 per hour. Please note that the final pay rate will be determined by a variety of factors, including the candidate's experience and qualifications.

This employer is an equal opportunity employer.
