Undercontrolroboticsinc Project Engineer at Undercontrolroboticsinc managing integration and deployment of robots in customer environments. Lead site readiness, acceptance testing, and customer training for reliable robot operation.
Responsibilities
The Project Engineer manages the path from lab capability to repeatable, measured, on-site performance. You integrate Moby’s software and hardware for a customer’s environment, prove it with acceptance tests and evidence, and run the deployment end-to-end with the customer. You also take on special projects, e.g., executive and trade-show demos, international robot shipments and site bring-up, customer training cohorts, and new test infrastructure – cross-functional efforts for which you author the playbook and procedures, architect and improve the process toward scalable standard operating procedures. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone equally at ease building an integrated schedule, debugging a robot on a job site, and briefing a customer’s operations lead.
Site readiness: Survey customer sites (environment, lighting, floor and door geometry, network, power, infrastructure). Create the site survey report, listing the gaps to close and the requirements for go-live.
Integration: Stage acceptance tests in Noble Machines’ lab under conditions that mirror the customer site, covering navigation, perception, and manipulation tasks.
Test and evidence: Write a test plan for each milestone, run trials, log every run, and produce the evidence pack (metrics, video, fault log).
Sim-to-real: Feed site data (maps, lighting captures, geometry) back to engineering, and validate fixes in simulation before field rollout.
Power characterization: Build the duty-cycle and charging model for each deployment, and define on-site charging locations and schedules.
Safety: Run on-site risk assessments, e-stop procedures, and operator training. Enforce exclusion zones during trials.
Site operations: Work with the customer’s site team on readiness of tools and equipment (PPE, KVM carts, workbenches, crash carts, site safety training).
Data outputs: Set up logging and a customer-facing KPI view, and train customer staff to read it.
Field support: Triage hardware, firmware, and software faults, and lead root-cause analysis. Coordinate spares and RMAs with operations.
Training: Deliver hands-on training to customer operators and site personnel on safe, effective robot operation.
