Senior Solution Development Engineer

Job description

About the Role at RobCo RobCo is building the category of Autonomous Industrial Robotics and we're doing it fast. We believe that automating the ordinary frees humans to do the extraordinary, and we're building the end-to-end robotics infrastructure to make that possible - hardware, software, and AI in one stack that just works. At RobCo, we automate the ordinary, so humans can do the extraordinary. To achieve this, we are looking for an ambitious Senior Solution Development Engineer to help us establish RobCo as leading provider of automation solutions. In this key role, you act as the critical technical bridge turning visionary customer requirements into robust, field-ready robotic system architectures across our US deployments. You will drive simulation, prototyping, and detailed multi-disciplinary engineering design to eliminate ambiguity and risk early in the development lifecycle. By establishing data-driven design standards and seamless handoffs for execution, you directly enable the rapid scaling of our autonomous industrial solutions. Your Responsibilities Translate customer requirements provided by Sales Engineering into technically feasible, simulation-validated solution concepts and robust system architectures. Perform simulation, modeling, prototyping, and engineering analysis to rigorously validate design decisions before they transition to execution. Develop detailed mechanical, electrical, controls, and software designs tailored for complex robotic system solutions. Evaluate design alternatives and technical tradeoffs to make data-driven, scalable engineering recommendations. Define clear system requirements, interfaces, assumptions, constraints, and acceptance criteria to eliminate technical ambiguity downstream. Identify and mitigate technical and execution risks early in the design cycle by partnering with Solution Execution teams to incorporate manufacturing, deployment, and commissioning considerations. Lead structured design reviews to surface potential design gaps early and ensure high standards of engineering quality. Produce comprehensive Solution Development Packages—including approved concepts, simulation results, risk assessments, interface definitions, and BOMs—as the baseline for execution. Incorporate field feedback, deployment learnings, and operational issues into future engineering standards and design iterations. We're loo…
