We're seeking an exceptional Senior AI/ML Engineer to join our advanced Physical AI engineering team at the forefront of industrial robotic innovation. This role sits at the intersection of cutting‑edge AI technology and real‑world product deployment, where you'll help define what's possible in physical AI for both autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and industrial robotic arms.

Our team is building differentiating solutions that push the boundaries of what robots can perceive, understand, and interact with in dynamic real‑world environments. You'll work alongside world‑class engineers to deliver full‑stack AI solutions that don't just work in simulation—they thrive in our customers' facilities.

Teradyne Robotics is transforming industrial automation through intelligent robotic solutions. Our portfolio includes Universal Robots (UR), the global leader in collaborative cobots, and Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR), pioneers in autonomous mobile robots. Together, we're building the future of flexible, intelligent automation for manufacturing and logistics environments worldwide.

You'll lead the development and deployment of physical AI capabilities that enable robots to navigate, manipulate, and interact with their environments with unprecedented intelligence. This includes advancing our work in obstacle detection, object identification and classification, pose estimation, SLAM technologies, and precision localization systems.

Working across our platform for simulation and data generation, you'll help engineer solutions that leverage diverse sensor modalities—from RGBD cameras and LiDAR to Time‑of‑Flight sensors—making informed trade‑offs based on performance, cost, and application requirements. You'll be responsible for taking AI innovations from concept through production deployment and ongoing customer support.

As a senior member of the team, you'll collaborate closely with R&D teams at Universal Robots and Mobile Industrial Robots, helping shape the future of collaborative robotics and autonomous mobile platforms across the Teradyne Robotics portfolio.

Critical to this role:
You must approach your work with scientific rigor. This means deeply understanding the performance characteristics, quality metrics, and limitations of every model you build. You'll need to systematically analyze how successive training runs impact these qualities, maintaining clear visibility into what's improving, what's regressing, and why. We build solutions our customers trust, and that trust is earned through rigorous validation and honest assessment of capabilities and boundaries.

• Deep understanding of sensor technologies (RGBD, LiDAR, ToF, etc.) and the ability to architect solutions that…
