Job description

Temple Allen Industries (www.templeallen.com) is at the forefront of bringing AI and Machine Learning to innovation-resistant industrial processes for high-value assets in aerospace, marine, windpower, and transportation markets. We are currently expanding our award-winning line of smart automation EMMA™ systems which dramatically improve aircraft sanding operations.

Entry Level Robotics Engineer - Computer Vision

Position: Entry Level Robotics Engineer - Computer Vision

Are you a talented and driven software engineer with a passion for building the future? Do you thrive on the challenge of bringing game-changing robotic systems to life? Do you want to be on the forefront of designing and developing the next generation of robots?

We’re looking for an experienced and quick-learning individual to come in as an Electrical Engineer responsible for improving the computer vision solution for an advanced robotic system.

You should be interested in the full scope of electrical/electronic duties (design, develop, test, etc.). Your passion for electronics will help to fuel your work in improving the EMMA robotic solution. You should be excited to show off your work and teach peers about it, uplifting your team’s skills by sharing your expertise. You should want to be a part of the design process and be excited to participate in discussions with other designers and engineers to help understand the system holistically and better implement elements that bring real value to the operator and the enterprise.

You must be able to work with Microsoft programs to communicate your ideas (Word, Excel, OneNote, Teams). Finally, you must be flexible and willing to explore other approaches and disciplines at a high level to gain knowledge of how different aspects of robots operate.

Requirements:

The following items are required for an individual accepting the responsibilities of this position:

• Experience programming in C++ and running programs on real world hardware.
• Experience with ROS
• Experience with OpenCV
• Experience using GitHub
• Experience with Object Oriented Programming (OOP)
• Experience with basic electrical assembly and fabrication is a benefit, but not a requirement (heat shrinking, attaching and removing wires, cutting and stripping wires)
• Exposure to pneumatics is a benefit, but not a requirement

Roles/Expectations

The following items are expected tasks an individual accepting this position will be undertaking and completing:

• Implement existing and new computer vision algorithms like color extraction and edge detection.
• Work with and analyze data generated by RGB and depth cameras, like point clouds to align multiple camera feeds to one frame, like implementing 3D object detection on point cloud/image stream.
• Work with fiducial markers to identify, locate, and understand the pose of an end effector.
• Generate forward and reverse kinematic models of the EMMA to predictively map the correct set of movements to align to a surface and sand.
• Generate the setup procedure for testing/using various programmed blocks for initializing and turning on Smart Automation EMMA systems.
• Debug software errors on the testing floor
• Carry out testing work orders to validate computer vision algorithms work on the EMMA in a real-world scenario.

Who You Are:

• A Problem-Solver: You approach complex challenges with a structured, analytical mindset and are persistent in finding optimal solutions
• Detail-Oriented: You have a high standard for precision in your coding and documentation
• A Collaborator: You communicated effectively and enjoy working as part of a multidisciplinary team
• A Self-Starter: You take ownership of your tasks and are driven to see projects through to completion

Why Join Us?

We offer a small-company culture that values innovation, learning, and making a real impact. You’ll have the autonomy to take ownership of your designs and the mentorship needed to grow your skills rapidly. Temple Allen is an ideal environment in which to grow your skills and be part of shaping the future of industry.

Compensation based on skills and experience.

• Free parking
• Health insurance
• On-the-job training
• Paid holidays
• Paid time off
