The engineer will define calibration requirements, develop scalable calibration pipelines, and ensure calibration integrity across simulation, lab setups, and industrial workcells.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and maintain robot calibration pipelines for camera extrinsics, hand-eye calibration, and multi-sensor alignment.
- Define calibration accuracy metrics and acceptance criteria, ensuring consistent computation across all environments.
- Build tooling and automation for calibration data collection, execution, validation, and reporting.
- Develop simulation and log-replay workflows to validate calibration procedures and diagnose failure modes.
- Support hardware-in-the-loop and real-cell setups by integrating calibration into system bring-up and testing.
- Establish calibration maintenance strategies, including recalibration triggers and health monitoring for long-term reliability.
- Partner with cross-functional teams to debug calibration-driven failures and implement corrective actions.
- Produce clear documentation and standards for industrial deployment criteria.
Education: A B.S. or M.S. in Robotics, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field is required.
Experience: Hands-on experience with camera and robot calibration techniques is necessary. Candidates should have experience working with real robotic hardware, sensors, and production-like environments.
Technical Skills: Proficiency in Python and/or C is required. A strong understanding of robot kinematics, coordinate frames, transformations, and error propagation is also expected.
Preferred Qualifications
- 2 years of industry experience in robotics calibration, system integration, or perception engineering.
- Experience with ROS 2, including sensor drivers and calibration workflows.
- Familiarity with industrial robot deployment contexts, including commissioning and maintenance.
- Knowledge of measurement uncertainty, repeatability analysis, and accuracy validation for robotic systems.
