About Us

Generative Bionics is a deep-tech company building humanoid robot platforms to deploy human-centered Physical AI. We design intelligent, capable machines that work alongside people in real-world environments — developed in Genova, Italy.

Role

We are looking for a skilled and hands-on Robotic Welding Engineer to develop and validate welding capabilities on our humanoid robotic platform. In a humanoid robot, welding is not just a manufacturing process, but a tightly coupled interaction between perception, motion, force control, and process physics. In this role, you will design, integrate, and experimentally validate robotic welding systems, enabling the robot to execute consistent, high-quality welds in complex and dynamic environments. You will collaborate closely with robotics, control, perception, and AI engineers, contributing your domain expertise to shape how welding is modeled, executed, and adapted on a humanoid robot.

Responsibilities

• Design and integrate welding processes on a humanoid robotic platform, including torches, power sources, wire feeders, and tooling
• Define and execute structured experiments to characterize weld quality, robustness, and repeatability across materials, joint types, and welding positions
• Collaborate with motion planning and control teams to align robot trajectories, force/impedance control, and timing constraints with welding process requirements
• Contribute to modeling welding processes and constraints for simulation, offline programming, and validation
• Support integration and use of sensors (vision, force/torque, arc sensing, temperature) for seam tracking, monitoring, and adaptive welding strategies
• Deploy welding procedures from test setups to the humanoid robot and iterate based on experimental and real-world results
• Work cross-functionally with mechatronics, control, and AI teams to incorporate welding expertise into robotic behaviors and data-driven systems

Requirements

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, Materials Engineering, or equivalent
• 3+ years of experience with robotic welding systems, automated welding cells, or advanced manufacturing R&D environments
• Strong hands-on knowledge of industrial welding processes, including parameter tuning and defect analysis
• Experience working with industrial or collaborative robots, including setup, calibration, and deployment
• Proven ability to design experiments, analyze results, and iterate on hardware and process parameters
• Comfortable working in laboratory or shop-floor environments with real equipment and safety constraints
• Availability to travel nationally and internationally is expected.
• Experience with non-conventional robotic platforms (e.g., humanoids or mobile manipulators)
• Basic to intermediate programming skills (Python, C++, or robot programming languages) for automation, data analysis, or integration
• Knowledge of force control, impedance control, or adaptive welding techniques
• Experience with vision-based seam tracking or automated weld inspection
• Background in R&D, prototyping, or research-oriented manufacturing projects

We Offer

• The opportunity to contribute to the development of cutting-edge humanoid robotic systems
• A stimulating and informal work environment alongside highly skilled technical and research teams
• Employment contract under the Italian Metalworking Collective Labor Agreement (CCNL Metalmeccanico), commensurate with experience
• Concrete opportunities for professional growth
