Opportunity Overview

We are seeking a versatile and hands-on Robotics Engineer to join the AI Partnerships team in Bangalore, India. This is a role within an established US-based team that is expanding into India. You will work at the intersection of robotics, AI, and systems integration, collaborating with model builders and end users to deploy intelligent robotic solutions in real-world industrial environments.

The AI Partnerships team is part of the Chief AI Officer's organization and works across Teradyne's robotics portfolio, including Universal Robots (UR), the global leader in collaborative cobots, and Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR), pioneers in autonomous mobile robots. Your primary focus will be on robot manipulation applications, with additional involvement in visual inspection and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) / mobile manipulators.

This role requires a well-rounded robotics engineer with strong software development skills, as well as practical experience in mechanical and electrical integration of robotic systems. You will be responsible for deploying and supporting AI-enabled robotic solutions that operate reliably in dynamic, production environments.

Responsibilities

• Integrate AI models into robotic systems using ROS2, Python, and C++.
• Design, implement, and test robotic subsystems involving mechanical, electrical, and software components.
• Develop and validate manipulation and perception capabilities including object detection, classification, pose estimation, and grasping.
• Work with sensors such as RGBD cameras, LiDAR, and depth sensors to support perception and control.
• Use simulation tools (e.g., NVIDIA Isaac Sim) for development, testing, and synthetic data generation.
• Deploy AI solutions from prototype to production on physical robots, ensuring safety, reliability, and maintainability.
• Collaborate with global teams including Universal Robots and MiR, as well as external model builders and integration partners.
• Support projects in inspection and AMR/mobile manipulator domains, including hardware-software integration and field validation.
