Hadrian’s Robotics team builds hardware and software that powers next-generation manufacturing. We are looking for a Robot Manipulation R&D Engineer to lead the design, development, and deployment of intelligent automation systems for manufacturing environments. Our mission is to scale Hadrian’s core machining business across multiple factories in the U.S. by building robotic systems that operators, technicians, and systems depend on every day. We move quickly, ship continuously, and turn real factory needs into production-ready products. This role is ideal for engineers passionate about pushing the boundaries of robotic dexterity, perception, and autonomy in real-world industrial applications.
Job Responsibility:
Develop novel algorithms and system architectures for robotic manipulation, grasping, and assembly in unstructured manufacturing environments
Design and implement end-to-end manipulation pipelines integrating perception (e.g., 3D vision), planning, and control
Collaborate with mechanical engineers to prototype and iterate on custom end-effectors, sensor mounts, and robotic tooling
Collaborate with stakeholders to collect, document, and translate operational needs into detailed technical requirements and interface specifications
Support team growth by contributing to hiring, mentoring junior engineers, and establishing technical best practices and workflows
Requirements:
M.S. or Ph.D. in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
3+ years of hands-on experience in robotic manipulation, control systems, or autonomous systems development
Strong proficiency in C++ or Python
Proven experience with motion planning, kinematics, and control of robotic arms
Deep understanding of robot dynamics, force control, and grasp planning
Experience with simulation environment and hardware deployment
Experience leading cross-disciplinary teams and full product lifecycle ownership
Excellent communication and documentation abilities
Passionate about advancing manufacturing automation through robotics innovation
