Robotics Application Engineer

About the role

Rhoda AI is building generalist intelligent robots and needs a mid‑to‑senior Robotics Application Engineer to turn customer use cases into robust robot deployments. You will design and prototype grippers, tooling, work stations and integration hardware while developing robot learning and data‑collection strategies.

Key responsibilities

• Execute customer projects end‑to‑end, from scoping and solution design through onsite delivery, acting as the primary technical contact.
• Design mechanical solutions such as grippers, EOAT, fixtures and work‑cells, rapidly prototype and validate concepts before field deployment.
• Drive AI model post‑training and deployment on robot hardware, creating training strategies and collaborating with pilots and data ops.
• Develop deep product expertise to accelerate onboarding and inform the product roadmap.

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics or related field.
• 3–6 years of mechanical design experience for robotics, automation, manufacturing or industrial systems.
• Strong CAD proficiency (SolidWorks, OnShape or equivalent) and hands‑on prototyping experience (3D printing, machining, fabrication & assembly).
• Familiarity with AI/ML concepts applied to robotics such as machine vision, imitation learning, reinforcement learning or policy training.

Required skills

• SolidWorks or OnShape CAD
• 3D printing and machining
• Fabrication and assembly of electromechanical assemblies
• Robot system debugging
• Machine vision, imitation learning, reinforcement learning, policy training
