Iterates designs based on feedback and user testing.

Responsibility Statements:

Applies advanced engineering knowledge to research projects, typically related to process automation and integration.

Participates in defining new components, products or processes, typically for pathology lab applications.

Creates potentially patentable components for systems, or processes.

Receives general direction and exercises considerable discretion as to work details.

Performs simulations, analyses and experiments to test hypotheses related to project outcomes.

Designs, builds and tests prototype hardware and software systems to achieve defined goals.

Prepares and delivers presentations of project results to others; presents data to diverse audiences.

Participates in project planning as part of a cross functional agile technical team.

Other duties as assigned by management.

Minimum Qualifications / Work Experience:

Required: Bachelor's Degree or equivalent in a directly related discipline 8y experience, OR

MS degree in directly related discipline 4 years of related experience required; OR

PhD degree in directly related discipline 2 years of related experience required.

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:

Expert knowledge of principles and concepts of robotic/mechatronic engineering, motion control, sensing and coordinate systems.

Creative, independent thinker, able to work in a research setting.

Strong problem solving skills and willingness to learn.

Excellent communication, collaboration, and interpersonal skills.

Experience of hands‑on assembly and of robotics/automation systems.

Experience with mechanical, electrical and software prototyping.
