Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota

Job Description & Skill Requirement:
Key Responsibilities
1. Robotics System Architecture Design and own the end-to-end architecture for autonomous or semi-autonomous robotic systems.
Lead hardware-software integration for multi-sensor robotics platforms.
Define robot control architectures, including motion planning, perception, and actuation layers.
Evaluate hardware components: microcontrollers, sensors, cameras, motors, motor drivers, AI accelerators.
2. Firmware & Embedded Systems Leadership
Lead development of real time embedded firmware (C/C++/RTOS/Linux).
Architect control loops (PID, MPC, sensor fusion) for high precision motion.
Oversee development of low-level drivers, HAL, communication stacks (CAN, SPI, I2C, UART).
Ensure firmware meets safety, reliability, and performance requirements.
3. Robotics Algorithms & Controls
Guide teams building:
Motion control
SLAM / perception
Sensor fusion (IMU, LIDAR, camera)
Path planning
Optimize robotics algorithms for embedded or edge-compute platforms.
4. Sensors, Actuators & Mechatronics
Work with mechanical and electrical teams in:
Motor selection and tuning (BLDC/Stepper/Servo)
Kinematics design (forward/inverse)
Joint control for robotic arms or mobile robots
Define test strategies for robotic subsystems.
5. AI / Vision (optional depending on company)
Collaborate on implementation of:
Computer vision (OpenCV, deep learning models)
Edge AI inference on robotics hardware (TensorRT, ONNX)
Integrate perception pipelines with real-time control.
6. Program Management & Team Leadership
Lead a team of embedded, robotics, mechanical, and electronics engineers.
Drive project planning, technical reviews, design decisions, and release timelines.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams: Mechanical, Electrical, Firmware, QA, Manufacturing, Cloud/AI.
Mentor mid-level and junior engineers in robotics architecture thinking.
7. Quality, Reliability & Compliance
Define verification/validation strategy for robotic systems.
Conduct FMEA, risk analysis, and safety assessments.
Ensure compliance with robotics, industrial, or functional safety standards:
ISO 10218 (industrial robots)
ISO 13849 / IEC 61508 (safety)
IEC 62061
Automotive (if applicable: ISO 26262)
8. Field Deployment & Optimization
Support manufacturing bring-up, calibration, and testing.
Analyse field failures, root-cause issues, and drive corrective actions.
Continuously improve robotics performance across releases.

Compensation: $100,000.00 - $110,000.00 per year
