Who We Are:

The Robotics Platform Section specializes in electromechanical development for novel robotic and automated systems across a variety of industries. Our projects take robots to places they have never been, doing things they have never done.

Objectives of this Role:

• Support ongoing research and development projects to improve robotic capabilities through novel hardware implementations.
• Perform laboratory and/or field testing of hardware and/or software solutions for intelligent/autonomous systems.
• Contribute to the design and/or build of novel robotic and automated systems.
• Areas of research and development include robotic manipulation, mechatronics, and robotic mobility.

Daily and Monthly Responsibilities:

• Develop hardware and/or software solutions for robotic and automated systems.
• Support preparation of technical documentation and presentation material for clients.
• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to develop technical solutions.
• Coordinate technical tasks with project managers and engineering staff.
• Additional information about the type of work conducted by the Robotic Platforms Section can be found at: https://robotics.swri.org/

Requirements:

• Must be pursuing a Bachelors, Masters or a PhD in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or directly related degree field.
• 0 years: Coursework, project work and/or internship experience in robotics, autonomous systems, and/or mechatronics is required.
• Familiarity with C++, Python or ROS is required.
• Familiarity with computer aided design tools is required.
• A valid/clear driver's license is required.
