Work with domestic and offshore integration partners on the build and deployment of robotic cells
Contribute to feasibility and cost analyses for new mechatronic systems
Draft and maintain technical specifications
Test and characterize electromechanical and optical systems
Troubleshoot electrical and mechanical issues to keep equipment ready for demos and development
Experience and Skills You'll Need
1+ years of machine design or mechatronics experience in industry
Strong SolidWorks skills, including building and maintaining multi-level assemblies and including modeling and creation of detailed drawings
Understanding of design for manufacturing and assembly (DFM/DFA) principles
Experience designing for 3D printing, sheet metal, CNC machining, and welding
Experience specifying and integrating off-the-shelf controls hardware
Comfort around machine tools, and the ability to fabricate prototypes in-house
Experience working with outside partners or vendors on design, fabrication, assembly, or test
Clear written and verbal communication, and a collaborative working style
Willingness to learn and thrive in a fast-paced, small-team environment
Ability to work on-site 4-5 days per week

What We Do
OSARO is AI for industrial automation. In essence, OSARO’s software enables industrial robots to perform diverse tasks in a wide range of environments. OSARO is transitioning the industry from static robotic systems into dynamic solutions. PRODUCTS OSARO Pick is a full suite of machine-learning software, which automates piece picking for distribution centers. Our proprietary system recognizes objects and controls the movement during the picking process. OSARO Vision is a stand alone solution that recognizes products for factory automation. OSARO Vision is an application of flexible software that can be integrated into any robotic system and licensed to large providers and/or their subcontractors. The demand for warehouse automation technology is increasing due to the convergence of several factors: the rapid shift to a competitive online shopping business, high capital costs coupled with growing labor shortages around fulfillment centers worldwide, and the acknowledgement of the maturity of technology to safely and cost-effectively create and sustain smart factories. Our markets are global and include e-commerce fulfillment and materials handling ($180B market); industrial robotics ($20B market); retail, health and beauty products, apparel, electronics and we are testing applications in the food processing and distribution industry, as well as automotive assembly - trillion dollar markets. Our business model is to work directly with warehouse technology providers to accelerate systems integration. And, as we are a software provider, once the robotic hardware is procured, our vision and control systems can be up and running in hours. OSARO employs a diverse & talented team of experts in the specialized field of machine and deep learning. Our core values are integrity, responsibility, focus on continuous learning, speed and determination and kirei, a Japanese kanji meaning brilliant. Our team is dedicated to building these core values into our products.
