Job Description
About the Team:
The Additive Technology team operates at the frontier of research and development, where creativity meets capability. This is an R&D-driven environment where problems are open-ended and solutions are yours to define. You'll work alongside welders, robotics engineers, data scientists, and systems engineers at the intersection of hardware and software, creating an end-to-end additive manufacturing platform that serves a wide variety of applications. From exploring new materials to unlocking faster print speeds, to designing complex, organic geometries that can't be built any other way, it's high-impact work that sets the foundation for the future of additive manufacturing.
About the Role:
The Robotics Team at Relativity Space is responsible for building and refining the hardware that powers our autonomous systems. From advanced perception and robotics for manufacturing and additive processes to specialized robots that support development and deployment, our R&D Software engineers work in close collaboration with hardware and automation to develop cutting edge technologies that push the boundaries of space exploration and industrial manufacturing. As a key member of the team, you'll bring your software expertise to revolutionize the way robotics cooperate and additively manufacture here on earth and off planet.
- Developing advanced methods for generating, evaluating, and ultimately printing complex novel geometries
- Developing custom software tools and algorithms for producing complex tool paths and valid multi-axis robot motion
- Working closely with simulation engineers and weld engineers to improve workflows between design CAD, distortion compensation, and printed metal results
- Contribute to occasional feasibility assessments to provide feedback and analysis on proposed new geometries from external partners or customers
About You:
- BS in Computer Science, Architecture, Computational Design, or relevant field
- 5+ years of experience developing tools for generating computational geometry
- Demonstrated experience in using scripting language to extend functionality of 3D software package (Python, C#, C++)
- Highly proficient in Rhino 3D & Grasshopper
- Understanding of CNC machine fundamentals and/or multi-axis robotic arms (KUKA preferred)
- Able to clearly articulate and communicate ideas, issues, and proposals effectively to a broad audience
- Experience with version control systems and collaborative development environments
Nice to haves but not required:
- MS in either Computer Science, Architecture, Computational Design, or 5+ years equivalent experience
- Direct experience with Autodesk PowerMill or similar motion machine control software
- Experience with path optimization for robotic manipulators
- Experience with 3D printing and/or WAAM process
- Experience programming motion for industrial robot arms
