Robotics Automation Engineer (EMC)

In this role, you'll work at the intersection of robotics, computer vision, and software engineering — designing and building automated systems that transform how EMC teams measure, test, and validate Apple products. You'll take concepts from early prototyping and CAD design through to fully deployed robotic systems integrated into Apple's infrastructure. Your contributions will directly impact engineering productivity and product quality across many Apple hardware programs. Design, develop, and deploy custom robotic automation systems for EMC measurement and product testing. Develop and maintain robot control software, data collection pipelines, and data processing tools. Collaborate with EMC and cross-functional teams to specify requirements and architect end-to-end automation solutions. Build scripts and software to automate failure detection, data collection, and analysis workflows. Integrate machine learning and computer vision techniques to enhance robotic system capabilities, including automated inspection and intelligent test procedures. Perform rapid CAD prototyping and 3D printing for custom fixtures, enclosures, and mechanical components. Deploy and maintain robotic systems across Apple facilities, ensuring reliability and uptime. Navigate ambiguous problem spaces and break down complex challenges into manageable, well-engineered solutions. Bachelor's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field. 3+ years of experience in software development with robotics-related projects. Strong Python programming proficiency with experience building complex, production-grade applications. Experience in software design and complex algorithm implementation. Familiarity with computer vision libraries and frameworks (OpenCV, depth sensing, image processing). Familiarity with mobile robotic systems and sensor integration. Familiarity with CAD design tools and rapid prototyping/3D printing workflows. Strong analytical and critical thinking skills with the ability to work through ambiguity. Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Master's degree with 5+ years of working experience in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field. Programming skills in C++. Familiarity with control and automation of test and measurement instruments (e.g., EMC receivers, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers) via SCPI, VISA, or similar protocols. Knowledge of ROS framework and industrial robotic systems (e.g., Universal Robots URScript). Experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and managing large-scale data collection, storage, and processing pipelines. Experience with ML-based perception systems, including object detection, pose estimation, or visual inspection. Hands-on experience with PyTorch, TensorFlow, or similar deep learning frameworks applied to vision tasks. Experience deploying robotic systems in manufacturing or lab environments at scale. Familiarity with motion planning, path optimization, and real-time control algorithms. Experience integrating robotic systems into enterprise infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines.
