This client is a large, established robotics manufacturer supporting advanced programs across the semiconductor and aerospace & defense industries, with a strong focus on intelligent automation and dual‑use robotics platforms.

This role focuses on designing, building, and programming advanced robotic systems that integrate mechanical, electrical, and software components to automate complex real‑world tasks. You will optimize motion planning, perception, and control for manufacturing, defense, and logistics applications, working closely with cross‑functional teams to prototype, test, and deploy intelligent robotic solutions.

The position has a strong emphasis on Vision‑Language‑Action (VLA) models and bi‑manual collaborative robots. You will implement and deploy VLA, VLM, and LLM‑based systems on both cloud and embedded robotic platforms, taking full ownership of the technical stack and driving the development roadmap for a dual‑use AI platform supporting industrial manufacturing use cases.

• Design and develop robotic manipulation systems using UR5e arms, end effectors, and bi‑manual cobot configurations
• Implement perception, planning, and control pipelines using VLA/VLM/LLM models
• Integrate ML models into real‑time robotic systems running on cloud and embedded hardware
• Develop and maintain robotic software using ROS/ROS2 and Universal Robots RTDE
• Lead system‑level architecture decisions and technical roadmap ownership
• Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and AI teams to validate and deploy production‑ready robotic solutions

• Bachelor’s degree plus 5+ years of experience in Computer Science, Robotics, AI, or a related technical field
• Strong proficiency in C++ and Python
• Hands‑on experience with PyTorch and/or Tensor Flow
• Practical experience with ROS, ROS2, and Universal Robots RTDE
• Direct experience with UR5e robotic arms, end effectors, and manipulation systems
