Job description

Tecnalia is the largest private Research, Development and Innovation (R&D+i) group in Spain and one of the leading ones in Europe. Tecnalia has the mission to contribute value and wealth to the society in general, and to the business base in particular, through research, technological development and innovation in an international context.

 

The Advanced Manufacturing business unit (which belongs to the Industry and Transport division), works in 3 main research topics in the field of Robotics (http://tecnalia.com/robotics):

  1. Design and prototyping of innovative robots, as a product for Industry, such as:
    1. Parallel Kinematics Robots
    2. Cable Based Robots
    3. Mobile Robots and Autonomous Navigation

 2. Ways to increase Robot Autonomy for Flexible Manufacturing, through:

    1. Development of versatile robotics (advanced control, vision-based guiding, 3D vision parts detection…)
    2. Dual arm robotics
    3. Collaborative robotics

 3. Robots for Industrial processes automation, mainly focusing on:

    1. Automation
    2. Welding and Joining/
    3. Components Assembly
    4. Online inspection and quality control

 

Do you want to join a young, dynamic and motivated team? Are you ready to be a referent in the “Computer Vision” group applied to the Automation and Robotics?

 

We are looking for a person with previous experience in the R&D field, that can lead the development and implementation of COMPUTER VISION systems that will be used in advanced robotic and automation systems. This means working mainly (but not only) in projects involving advanced manipulation, vision based guiding, collaborative robotics, etc.

This person will have a relevant role in the identification of new business opportunities, client needs, preparation of European proposals, as well as in the resolution of the technology solutions and offer elaboration, in the automation and robotics field for advanced manufacturing.

The selected person will be responsible of the excellence of the implemented project, from a technology, deadline and cost point of view.

Requirements

What are we looking for?

 

Detail-oriented and resolutive person, self-starter and team player; with good organization and time-management skills, which is willing to develop computer vision based solutions for advanced automation and robotics, in the industrial field: integrating robots (vision, mechatronics, real time…) and automation systems, deploying solutions until the validation in industrial environments. Work experience in the development of 2D/3D vision systems, communication skills (spoken and written) and being capable of working in different languages will be essential. 

  • Industrial Engineering, electronics, automation, software engineering or similar.
  • Work experience: over 5 years in R&D related to Computer Vision in the field of automation and/or robotics.
