Berkshire Grey provides AI-powered robotic automation solutions to transform warehouse, ecommerce, retail, and 3PL logistics operations. Backed by NEA and SoftBank VF.
About the role
The Senior Mechatronics and Control Engineer will work directly as a member of the RAD research and development team to rapidly prototype automation systems that combine mechanisms, sensors, perception, motion planning, controls, and software integration.
What they're looking for
- Own rapid prototyping efforts for robotic automation systems, from concept and CAD through prototype build, perception integration, motion planning, test, and iteration
- Translate operational and customer needs defined by product teams into system requirements, prototype architectures, and practical engineering plans
- Design, modify, and fabricate mechanisms, end effectors, fixtures, and automation subsystems using CAD and hands-on prototyping methods
- Integrate robot arms, end effectors, sensors, perception components, motion planning software, and control interfaces into working systems
- Develop and debug Python, C++, and ROS/ROS2 software for prototype behavior, integration, data collection, and system validation
- Bring up, test, and troubleshoot incomplete systems across mechanical, electrical, controls, and software boundaries
More about this role
The Senior Mechatronics and Control Engineer will work directly as a member of the RAD research and development team to rapidly prototype automation systems that combine mechanisms, sensors, perception, motion planning, controls, and software integration. This role is for a robotics generalist with broad experience across the layers of a robotic system The candidate should be comfortable moving from CAD and hands-on prototype fabrication to Python/C++ software, ROS-based integration, system bring-up, testing, and debugging. They will integrate existing technologies into new prototype systems, make practical engineering tradeoffs quickly, and turn partially defined automation needs into working robotic demonstrations and early production concepts.
