End Effector Integration Engineer
Sign up free to see how well your resume matches this role.
What you'll do
- Own the end-effector strategy across different industrial robotics applications.
- Analyze customer workflows and operational requirements to identify the most suitable endeffector solutions.
- Evaluate and select commercially available end-effectors including grippers, suction systems, hooks, tool changers, robotic hands, cameras, and specialized tooling.
- Drive standardization and platform thinking by reducing the number of end-effector variants while maximizing use-case coverage.
- Define requirements for future end-effector solutions based on customer needs, product requirements, and engineering constraints.
- Coordinate and manage relationships with external suppliers, technology partners, and development vendors.
- Support feasibility studies, proof-of-concepts, customer evaluations, and pilot deployments.
- Define evaluation criteria, benchmarking methodologies, and trade-off analyses for endeffector technologies.
- Develop business cases and technical recommendations for buy-vs-build decisions.
- Track emerging technologies and market trends in manipulation, grasping, vacuum handling, tactile sensing, dexterous hands, and industrial tooling.
- Ensure successful integration of selected end-effectors into the robotic platform and deployment workflows.
- Contribute to the development of a long-term manipulation and tooling roadmap.
What they're looking for
- BSc/MSc in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Automation Engineering, or a related field.
- 5+ years of experience in robotics, automation, industrial tooling, end-of-arm tooling, application engineering, or solutions engineering.
- Strong understanding of robotic manipulation systems and industrial automation.
- Experience working with grippers, vacuum systems, robotic hands, tool changers, or similar end-effectors.
- Experience evaluating and integrating third-party hardware solutions.
- Strong systems-engineering mindset with the ability to balance technical and business considerations.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills.
- Ability to translate customer needs into technical requirements and actionable engineering decisions.
Nice to have
- Familiarity with any of ROS2, robot kinematics, manipulation/grasp planning, controls, force control, tactile sensing, or dexterous manipulation is a plus.
