Job Title: Robotics & Mechatronics AI Expert

Role Type: Contractor
Location: Remote

Job Overview

We are seeking experienced Robotics and Mechatronics Experts to contribute their technical expertise to a project focused on advancing next-generation AI systems. In this role, you will apply your engineering knowledge to real-world robotics and mechatronics challenges while demonstrating how advanced AI coding agents can support complex technical workflows.

The ideal candidate combines hands‑on expertise in robotics, mechatronics, system design, and engineering problem-solving with practical experience using AI coding agents such as Codex, Claude Science, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork.

No prior experience in AI training is required—your domain expertise, technical judgment, and ability to apply AI agents to sophisticated engineering problems are what matter most.

Scope of Work

• Analyze and solve practical robotics and mechatronics problems using advanced AI coding agents.
• Design, implement, test, and document solutions to challenging technical scenarios involving robotics and mechatronic systems.
• Demonstrate how AI agents can be applied to complex, ambiguous, or large-scale engineering problems.
• Use AI coding agents for tasks such as navigating large codebases, debugging complex issues, developing features, and optimizing technical workflows.
• Document agent-driven workflows, including the technical context, decisions, prompts or instructions, generated code sequences, iterations, and outcomes.
• Evaluate AI-generated solutions for technical correctness, reliability, maintainability, and practical engineering relevance.
• Provide structured written and verbal feedback on AI agent performance, usability, limitations, and effectiveness.
• Contribute real‑world examples involving end‑to‑end feature development, system design, architectural changes, debugging, and workflow automation.
• Collaborate remotely with project stakeholders to identify opportunities for using AI agents to accelerate robotics and mechatronics development.
