Job Description
As a Senior/Development Engineer, you will contribute towards developing robotic processes and solutions as part of a larger team, and lead small projects as a start, to meet the needs of different stakeholders. You will gain exposure to work on industrial projects, predominantly from Semicon and Aerospace industries, collaborating with the players from robotics & automation ecosystem in Singapore. You will work with both senior and junior engineers and scientists at A*STAR on different R&D projects for developing robotics and automation solutions.
If you are passionate about applied research and/or development of robotics and automation systems or solutions, this is the role for you.
JOB DESCRIPTION
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define the problem statement, identify technical challenges & novelties, design development approaches and develop the solutions towards deployment.
Identify design considerations/requirements, analyse pros and cons between available options, present and justify to decision makers to enable technical and commercial decisions.
Design robot-effectors, jigs and fixtures for prototyping then test and evaluate its performance for robotic assembly & disassembly processes.
Develop robot work cell concept for reconfigurable robotic assembly line using CAD software; design robotic assembly toolpath and optimise automation workflow using simulation software tool.
Program & debug robots to fine tune robot positions, adjust robot toolpath and interface with PC, PLC and other controllers.
Work closely with system integrators to define clear Statement of Work (SOW), refine concept design, drive design reviews, follow up outstanding issues, monitor budget & timeline and define qualification requirements for FAT/SAT.
Test and validate the prototype, conduct performance evaluation based on process requirements, optimise and recommend next steps.
Provide onsite technical support & knowledge transfer during FAT/SAT with system integrators and customers.
JOB REQUIREMENT
Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical, Robotics, Mechatronics Engineering or equivalent.
Strong in mechanical design for robot end-effectors / jigs & fixtures prototyping and concept design of robot & automation work cell for deployment.
Solid foundation in using CAD software to design mechanical components and Massemblies, applying good design practices such as Design for Manufacturability (DFM), GD&T practices, locating principle etc.
Knowledge in grippers (pneumatic, vacuum, electric), motion control (actuators, motors, pneumatics), sensors and machine vision.
Ability to reconcile stakeholders? feedback with design goals, anticipate risk and identify mitigation actions, drive root cause analysis and corrective actions for design revision.
Hands-on experience with any industrial robots/cobots (ABB, KUKA, UR etc.), online programming with its respective textual programming language (RAPID, KRL, URScript etc.) and software package for offline programming (OLP) & process simulation (RobotStudio, RoboDK, Visual Components etc.)
Experience in automation process testing, development and optimisation, applying proper design of experiment (DOE) practices and data analysis using statistical approaches/software tools is an added advantage.
Work experience in robotics & automation projects for industry deployment is a plus.
Fluent spoken and written to articulate problem statements, technical concepts and issues to internal & external stakeholders in cross-functional collaboration.
Good problem-solving, resourceful, independent and self-driven team player.
