What are the responsibilities and job description for the Urgent Openings - Robotics Calibration Engineer - Onsite position at Cerebra Consulting Inc?
Hello,
Hope you are doing well,
Role: Robotics Calibration Engineer
Location: Onsite in Warren, MI
Duration: 12 month contract
Job Description:
What you'll do
Design, implement, and maintain robot calibration pipelines covering camera extrinsic, hand eye calibration, and multi-sensor alignment (RGB, depth).
Define calibration accuracy metrics and acceptance criteria (e.g., reprojection error, pose consistency, repeatability, drift over time) and ensure they are computed consistently across simulation, lab, and production environments.
Build tooling and automation for calibration data collection, execution, validation, and reporting, enabling repeatable and scalable deployment across multiple workcells.
Develop simulation and log-replay based workflows to validate calibration procedures, analyze sensitivity, and diagnose failure modes before and after deployment.
Support hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and real-cell setups by integrating calibration into system bring-up, regression testing, and commissioning workflows.
Establish calibration maintenance strategies, including recalibration triggers, health monitoring, and drift detection for long-term reliability in production environments.
Partner cross-functionally with perception, motion planning, and integration teams to debug calibration-driven failures, translate field issues into actionable fixes, and prevent recurrence through improved processes.
Produce clear documentation and standards that define "calibration-ready" and "production-calibrated" criteria for industrial deployment.
Required qualifications
B.S./M.S. in Robotics, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
Hands-on experience (industry or academic) with camera and robot calibration techniques, including hand eye calibration and multi-sensor coordinate alignment.
Strong understanding of robot kinematics, coordinate frames, transformations, and error propagation.
Proficiency in Python and/or C , with the ability to build calibration tools, analysis scripts, and validation utilities.
Experience working with real robotic hardware, sensors, and production-like environments.
Strong documentation and communication skills-able to turn calibration behavior and issues into clear engineering requirements.
Preferred qualifications
2 years of industry experience in robotics calibration, system integration, perception engineering, or deployed robotic systems.
Experience with ROS 2, including sensor drivers and calibration workflows.
Familiarity with industrial robot deployment contexts, including commissioning, maintenance, and production support.
Knowledge of measurement uncertainty, repeatability analysis, and accuracy validation for robotic systems.
