* Create user interfaces for robotic systems
* Own tasks and projects, ensuring proper release and hand-off
* Apply engineering theories and methods to solve technical problems
* Conduct pilot studies and formal experiments (using Design of Experiment principles) to benchmark performance against state-of-the-art approaches using well-reasoned metrics
* Generate reports to support technical recommendations
* Work within cross-functional team and assist in the design, analysis and performance evaluation from concept to completion
* Implement process control techniques like Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing
* Work onsite in the lab 5 days/week

* Ability to work independently
* Understanding of statistical process control and analysis
* Experience in project management
Preferred Qualifications:
* Experience with Behavior Tree/MoveIt
* Experience with robotic hardware design and end effector application development
* Proficient in MCAD model creation (Siemens NX, Creo, Solidworks)
* Knowledge of C++, Python, OpenCV, TensorFlow or PyTorch, JS + React, ROS, ROS2
* Experience with web APIs or SDKs
* Embedded Linux experience working with Kernels
* Project management experience
