Robotics Engineer (New Grad): Government Projects

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Support proof-of-concept work that demonstrates what GMR's robotic systems can do for a new application or customer
• Learn the manufacturing processes, requirements, and constraints for each project, and help gather the data (measurements, CAD, documentation) that shapes a new robotic cell
• Assist in robotic manufacturing cell design, working alongside software and mechatronics engineers to reason about reachability, cycle time, and efficiency
• Help design, build, and test custom end-of-arm tooling and work-holding fixtures, from early concept through validation
• Configure GMR-AI to generate toolpaths and trajectories for new applications, with guidance from senior engineers
• Help test and prototype new inspection sensors and tools, including hands-on evaluation of emerging vendor technology
• Install, troubleshoot, and maintain controls components: sensors, PCs, and third-party device controllers
• Contribute to new process recipes as GMR's systems take on different materials and geometries

Job requirements

• Bachelor's degree (or in-progress remotely/completed Master's) in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or a related engineering discipline
• Hands-on experience with physical robotic or mechanical systems through coursework, internships, co-ops, capstone projects, or research (0-2 years total experience expected)
• Demonstrated ability to follow and execute a structured experiment or process with high attention to detail
• Working familiarity with basic scripting and data analysis (Python or similar)
• Strong written communication skills; comfortable documenting technical findings and procedures clearly
• Excellent analytical skills and genuine curiosity to understand how and why a process works
• Exposure to Design of Experiments (DOE) methodology or statistical process analysis
• Coursework or project experience with ROS/ROS2
