Implement and maintain ROS-2-based software to coordinate robots, sensors, pumps, valves, and supervisory control.
Build state machines, safety interlocks, and real-time monitoring to ensure system reliability and reproducibility in a wet-lab environment.
Collaborate with software engineers to integrate robotics systems with higher-level orchestration, data acquisition, and LIMS/ELN tools.
Execution & Ownership
Rapidly prototype, test, and iterate on mechanical, electrical, and control designs to reach production-grade reliability.
Define and refine acceptance tests, performance metrics, and validation protocols for automated systems.
Drive root-cause analysis and systematic debugging of mechanical, electrical, and software issues in deployed systems.
Leadership & Collaboration
Serve as the senior technical authority on robotics within Bexorg, setting best practices and technical standards.
Mentor and guide junior engineers and technicians in robotics, controls, and automation.
Work cross-functionally with surgeons, perfusion specialists, and biologists to translate experimental needs into robust, scalable robotic solutions.
Communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including collaborators at major biopharma companies.
Requirements
Extensive hands-on experience designing, building, and deploying robotic systems in production or mission-critical environments.
