Robotics Automation Software Engineer
This role focuses on the automation of custom-made manipulators, aiming to automate convenience store operations without human intervention to a high success rate.
Specification:
The main focus of this automation project is to productize the world’s first robot to be integrated in the convenience store and deploy it. We use a variety of technologies to achieve our goals, from traditional to state-of-the-art, and expect you to have a similar mindset. Teamwork, flexibility, and quick learning are key soft skills as well. We are hoping to bring the seed which will eventually grow and change the world itself, and we believe the project we’re currently working on is fully capable of doing it. If you want to productize robotics technology, this is the place for you. Proven track records of quick-learning, adaptability, and problem-solving can be considered as equivalent skill experience in special cases as well.
Please join us, and let’s make a big difference in our society.
