Key Responsibilities
- Study new technologies and tools available in the market, evaluate and compare pros and cons, make recommendations; contribute to generative AI-driven robotic and automation system development projects
- Validate new concepts for systems or methods, by using virtual models, simulations and physical prototypes
- Design and develop physical / software modules, programs, and other system components
- Testing and validating the systems / solutions developed by other project team members
- Develop detailed technical proposals addressing complex industry challenges, including automation, robotics
- Lead both robotics and automation system / software development projects for both competitive grant-funded research as well as for direct industrial problem statements
- Interact with System Integrators (SI) and vendors to develop and deploy AI-based automation systems in the final operational environment (such as a factory shopfloor or warehouse facility) to meet end-user needs
- Write and maintain technical documentation of the work done in projects, and make presentations
Requirements
- Bachelor's Degree in Engineering disciplines (Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, Computer Engineering)
- At least 3 years of experience in developing and deploying industry-ready AI/ML-based robotics and automation systems and/or software
- Strong understanding of smart manufacturing automation systems (IT / OT)
- Strong experience in programming (e.g., Python, C / C++ )
- Good experience in developing robot manipulation programs (e.g., ABB RAPID, URScript, KRL) for different industry applications
- Experience in 3D Simulation tools (e.g., Visual components, Isaac Sim, Gazebo), or willing to learn simulation tools
- Experience in drafting new system proposals, technical scoping, and cost estimation
- Hands-on experience with industrial robot arms, cobots, PLCs etc. for automation systems / solutions development projects
- Able to work independently and hands-on for projects to develop robotics / automation systems, without regular supervision
- Strong problem solving and analysis skills
- Practical knowledge in applying Generative AI, Reinforcement Learning etc. in both simulation and real-life implementations will be a strong plus
- Experience in systems-level modelling and simulation will be a plus (e.g., Simulink)
