Senior Robotics Manipulator Control Engineer

PERSOL SINGAPORE PTE. LTD.; Singapore; On-site; SGD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

PERSOL SINGAPORE PTE. LTD. is seeking an experienced robotics engineer to design and develop advanced control systems for robotic manipulators used in pick-and-place and assembly tasks.

You will integrate controllers, actuators, sensors and vision systems, and optimize performance through simulations and tuning. Proficiency in C/C++, Python, and industrial robot languages (Yaskawa/ABB/KUKA) is preferred, along with ROS and Linux; a Master's or PhD with 5+ years in robotics is desirable.

Qualifications

• Master's or PhD in Electrical, Mechanical, or Computer Engineering or related field with 5+ years of industry experience.
• Strong understanding of robot kinematics, dynamics, and control theories (PID, MPC, Impedance).
• Proven ability to deploy custom pick-and-place or pick-and-assemble applications.
• Hands-on experience with industrial robot arm controllers and sensor integration.
• Experience with pre-integrated solutions (Siemens SRP, ABB RobotStudio, Denso VPS).
• Ability to program microcontrollers and design basic circuitry.
• Proficient in programming industrial robots using manufacturer languages or C/C#/C++, Python.
• Experience with robot calibration and sensor integration (vision, force/torque).
• Familiarity with ROS 1/2, Linux, and real-time control frameworks.
• Patents, publications, specialist certifications, or awards in robotics are advantageous.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop advanced control systems for robotic manipulators in pick-and-place and assembly applications.
• Select, integrate, and calibrate various controllers and actuators for effective robotic manipulation.
• Design sensor-driven feedback control loops, incorporating force/torque sensors and vision systems for adaptive control.
• Tune and optimize control systems for fast, smooth, and precise operations.
• Develop fault detection and error recovery mechanisms to enhance robustness in performance.
• Conduct robot teaching and robotic manipulator simulations for new applications and deployments.
• Program robots using industrial robot programming languages (e.g., Yaskawa, ABB, KUKA) or general-purpose languages like C/C#/C++, Python.
• Document technical reports, program codes, and setup manuals.
