Les missions
The Robotics Engineer is responsible for the design and development of robots intended to automate various tasks in complex environments. His role generally begins with defining the technical needs and specifications of the robot, in close collaboration with product, research and development (R&D) teams, as well as end users.
He works on the design of the mechanical, electronic and computer components necessary for the robot to function properly. It chooses motors, sensors, and actuators, and defines the overall architecture of the system. The robotics engineer also develops the embedded software that allows the robot to perform its tasks, by integrating control, artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision algorithms to allow it to adapt to its environment.
An important part of his work consists in testing and validating robot prototypes. This includes analyzing the robot's performance, detecting faults, and continuously improving its design. He can also be involved in simulating behaviors and scenarios before manufacturing the final prototype.
The robotics engineer is also responsible for setting up processes for integrating robots into larger systems, such as automated production lines or complex industrial environments. It ensures that the robots are compatible with the company's other equipment and software.
At the same time, it follows technological developments and trends in the robotics market. He also participates in the writing of technical documents, test reports and user manuals. Its role also includes taking into account ethical and safety issues, particularly in the area of collaborative robotics (interactions between robots and humans), and ensures compliance with current standards.
Finally, the Robotics Engineer may be required to train teams of operators or to support customers in integrating robots into their industrial processes.
In summary, the Robotics Engineer must combine great technical expertise in various fields (mechanics, electronics, IT) and an ability to work on innovative projects with high added value, while taking into account the safety and ergonomic aspects of robotic systems. It plays a key role in the digital transformation and modernization of industrial, medical and technological sectors.
