Support Engineer

Prototype Hardware Development. 

Lead the development of robotic and electromechanical hardware from early conceptual ideation through detailed design, prototyping, and final hardware bring‑up.  

This includes translating high‑level functional requirements into robust, testable prototype hardware suitable for iterative development and validation. 

Multi‑Disciplinary Engineering Assessment: 

Apply a broad range of engineering disciplines—including mechanical, electrical, electronics, embedded systems, and software engineering—to evaluate the current state of robotic systems.  

Perform root cause analysis of technical issues, identify system inefficiencies, and propose design, performance, reliability, or manufacturability improvements across hardware and software boundaries. 

Project Evaluation and Technical Planning: 

Independently assess new and ongoing robotics projects by evaluating technical complexity, risks, constraints, timelines, and dependencies.  

Clearly understand project goals and use sound engineering judgment to define the most effective development approach, milestones, resources, and execution plans. 

Robotics System Integration & Validation: 

Support the integration of mechanical hardware with electronics, sensors, actuators, control systems, and embedded software.  

Participate in system‑level testing, debugging, and validation to ensure robotic platforms meet performance, safety, and operational requirements. 

End‑to‑End Product Development: Support in all aspects of robotics hardware development, including: 

Conceptual and detailed mechanical design 

Engineering analysis and trade‑off studies 

3D CAD modeling and design for manufacturability/assembly (DFM/DFA) 

Creation of detailed engineering drawings and documentation 

Bill of Materials (BOM) generation and cost estimation 

Coordination with vendors and fabrication partners 

Prototype assembly, integration, and system bring‑up 

Functional, performance, and reliability testing of robotic subsystems and full systems 

Clear reporting of test results, design decisions, and lessons learned. 

Understanding of electromechanical systems, including motors, actuators, sensors, gear trains, and structural components 

Working knowledge of electrical and embedded systems, including PCB interaction, power distribution, and basic firmware/software interfaces 

Experience with prototype fabrication, assembly, integration, testing, and troubleshooting 

Experience working with robotic platforms, subsystems, or automation equipment, including mobile robots, industrial robots, or custom robotic systems 

Experience with Robots in integrating sensors and communication for Teleoperation 

Experience integrating commercial off the shelf Robots using their proprietary APIs or SDKs 

Deep proficiency in ROS / ROS 2 (Robot Operating System) 

Programming Language expertise : Python & C++ 

Experience with Linux environments, Docker containerization, and CI/CD pipelines for deploying code to remote robot fleets 

Deep understanding of commercial industrial protocols EtherCAT, CAN bus, TCP/IP 

Ability to assess robotic system performance and recommend design, reliability, efficiency, or cost improvements 

Exposure to controls, PLCs or embedded control architectures is a strong advantage 

Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and meet development timelines in a fast‑paced R&D or product environment 

Strong written and verbal communication skills for technical reporting, design reviews, and cross‑functional collaboration 

Ability to work closely with software engineers, electrical engineers, manufacturing teams, and external vendors 

Good to have knowledge in mechanical design and 3D CAD (e.g., Onshape, SolidWorks, Creo, Fusion 360, or similar) 

Exposure to engineering drawings, BOMs, and technical documentation 

Good to have understanding of robot mechanics, kinematics, motion systems, and system integration
