Job description

Vention helps some of the most innovative manufacturing companies automate their production floor in just a few days. Vention's online-first manufacturing automation platform (MAP) enables its clients to design, automate, order, and deploy manufacturing equipment directly from their web browser.

Vention is headquartered in Montreal, Canada, with offices in Berlin and Boston, and is used in over 3,000 factories on 5 continents. As one of Canada’s Most Admired Cultures and Great Place to Work, we are a performance-driven culture that cares deeply about happiness. We like ambitious goals, facts & data, and constructive debates. But at the same time, we know that we can’t repeatedly push ourselves if we are not surrounded by an uplifting and caring work environment. Those two sides of our culture feed each other and are safeguarded with the same level of attention. Our values & principles include:

• We make our clients successful - we do what’s right for our customers, even when it makes our roles more challenging.
• We execute and deliver - we set ambitious goals for ourselves and are energized about meeting them.
• We debate, then commit - we challenge our own perspectives and ideas in pursuit of the best solutions.
• We innovate to inspire - we value innovation in products, user experiences, and business practices.
• We collaborate to achieve more - we work as one team to achieve more than we would on our own.
• We empower our people to reach their full potential - we hold ourselves to high standards but know when to celebrate progress & achievements.

Job Description

As a Robotics Engineer on Vention’s Applications team, you will be responsible for designing, building, and testing robotics solutions which leverage Vention’s hardware, automation, and software ecosystem as well as our partners. You will work hands-on with robots on a daily basis, and with multiple leading robot brands such as FANUC, Universal Robots, and Doosan. You will work closely with Automation Engineers, Electrical Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, and Robotics Engineers from Vention’s core product teams. The Robotics Engineer is called to work in various phases of a product, from early-stage prototyping with a marketing intent, to late-stage development for client and product milestones. More specifically you will:

• Design, build, test, and characterize robotic solutions leveraging Vention’s ecosystem.
• Work hands-on with robots of multiple brands on a daily basis.
• Inform the “core product” roadmap by creating prototype and early-version components alongside the Mechanical Hardware and Automation Hardware teams to broaden the scope of Vention’s productized Applications and overall product offering.
• Support pre-sales teams with feasibility testing of client projects and demos with equipment in the Applications Lab, and with robot simulation tools.
• Support post-sales teams in the development and delivery of early-maturity Applications.
• Assist in the early drafting of documentation for Applications (Design Guides, Integration/Assembly Manuals, Installation Manuals, User Manuals).

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience deploying automated or robotic solutions.
• Experience with major robot brands including Universal Robots, Doosan, Fanuc, Motoman (Yaskawa), ABB, and KUKA.
• University degree in Mechanical/Mechatronic/Electrical Engineering, Engineering Systems and Computing, Robot Technology, or related industry experience.
• Minimum 5 years of on-the-job experience.
• Experience with programming languages (ideally Python but ok with C++, C#, VB, etc.).
• Knowledge of ROS is a strong asset.
• Knowledge of industrial communication protocols (e.g. Modbus/TCP, Modbus/RTU, Ethernet/IP).
• Knowledge of design and safety standards for automated equipment.
