Job summary

Siemens Healthineers in the United States is seeking a Systems Engineer 1 - Robotics & Automation to design, integrate, and validate robotic systems that advance laboratory diagnostics. You will work with experienced engineers to apply collaborative robotics, sensing, and automation to improve precision, reliability, and throughput in regulated medical-device environments.

The role targets an early-career engineer with hands-on robotics experience, bridging mechanical, electrical, and software

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in robotics, biomedical, mechanical, electrical, systems, or a related engineering discipline (May 2027 graduation).
Hands-on experience programming and integrating robotic arms - including configuration, calibration, and motion planning.
Practical experience with ROS2 and integrating robots, sensors, actuators, and microcontrollers into working platforms.
Strong programming skills in Python and MATLAB for control, data collection, and analysis.
Working knowledge of systems and controls fundamentals and the interaction of subsystems.
Experience with CAD / design tools such as SOLIDWORKS, Siemens NX, or Autodesk Inventor and rapid prototyping for fixtures and end-effectors.
Familiarity with computer vision / perception for robotics (depth sensing, object detection, OpenCV).
Exposure to AI-assisted programming - agent-based tools to accelerate development and automation.
Strong analytical rigor, curiosity, and structured problem-solving; ability to reason about system performance with data.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present technical results clearly.
Demonstrated leadership, teamwork, and project-coordination experience (academic, research, or extracurricular).

Responsibilities

Program, configure, and tune robotic arms for precise, repeatable workflows in a lab setting.
Characterize accuracy and repeatability; apply calibration and measurement techniques.
Develop motion paths and parameters to balance cycle time, reliability, and precision.
Integrate vision-guided perception and robust grasping for manipulation in real-world labs.
Use simulation and modeling tools to prototype and de-risk robotic behaviors.
Design and iterate mechanical fixtures, adapters, and end-effectors for robust handling.
Support system-level design, integration, and verification within diagnostic platforms.
Translate requirements into technical specifications, interface definitions, and test plans.
Build data-collection and analysis tools; communicate results to cross-functional stakeholders.
Perform root-cause analysis across mechanical, electrical, and software domains.
Contribute to design reviews, risk assessments, and engineering documentation in FDA/ISO 13485 environments.
