Are you excited about working with advanced robotic and 3D vision systems and being a part of the Industry 4.0/5.0 revolution? We are a fast-paced startup growing our team of dynamic builders, tech-enthusiasts, and compassionate professionals on a mission to redefine manufacturing by developing intelligent robotics.

We are developing AI-enabled robots that are highly versatile, flexible, and adaptive. Performing the most challenging assembly in smartphone manufacturing with state-of-the-art algorithms, high-speed and high-resolution 3D imaging, and advanced Eye-Hand Coordination for international consumer electronics manufacturing giants.

eBots was founded by Dr. Zheng Xu and Dr. Jianming Fu, proven serial entrepreneurs whose startup was successfully acquired by SolarCity, a Tesla company. Our team boasts a world-class group of scientists and engineers with experience from Tesla, Apple, IBM, Bosch, iRobot, and borne out of universities such as Stanford, UC, CMU, Purdue, and other ivy league schools. Come join our team of robot-obsessed engineers and help make intelligent robots a reality.

As a Robotics Engineer at eBots, you will lead the development of motion planning and robot control algorithms for our autonomous assembly robots. You will take our motion planning and control stack capabilities and features to the next levels. You will be responsible for developing features for dexterous manipulation like error correction and compensation, collision avoidance, motion planning and control for dual-arm coordination, etc.

An ideal candidate should show experience in solving challenging problems in motion planning and control for dexterous robotic manipulators, showing ownership of the execution and evangelism of their project, pushing their creation to deployment, and growing and mentoring peers. They should be constantly investigating new technologies, identifying key concerns, and working with the engineering team to further robotics engineering excellence.

YOU WILL

• Develop motion planning and motion control algorithms for optimal manipulation of 6 or 7 axis industrial robot arms.
• Architect, design, and implement software interfaces with industrial robots to obtain optimal real-time performance
• Design and implement new approaches to improve calibration between robots and computer vision units, grippers, or other robotic mechanisms.
• Developing and modeling motion paths and obstacle avoidances of robotic arm in a highly cluttered workspace.
• Optimizing the manipulation for smooth handling and minimum latency.

YOU HAVE

• Ph.D. in robotics field or MS with strong relevant industrial experience in robotics.
• Proven experience in one or more robot control areas, such as: parameterizing control frameworks that balance tradeoffs between flexibility, speed, and accuracy; trajectory optimization; inverse kinematics; motion planning; and robotic integration.
• Strong proficiency in Python and C++.
• Experience with ROS and MoveIt.
• Deep knowledge in robotic system design, integration, debugging, verification, and testing, especially for industrial robotic manipulators.
• Highly motivated to push the envelope of robotics.
• Agility and adaptability in a fast-paced work environment.

BONUS IF YOU HAVE

• Experience working with robotic systems including Industrial robotic arms, cameras, and grippers.
• Relevant publications in top-tier robotics journals and conferences like ICRA, IROS, RA-L, T-RO, etc.
• Experience working with JIRA for Task/Project Management and Agile methodology.

We are an equal opportunity employer who offers:

Competitive Salary & Equity

Comprehensive healthcare benefits for you and your family

Retirement plan (401k)

Flexible PTO

Weekly team lunches

The chance to work with robots!
