Robotics Engineers

No automatable tasks identified for this role — its real, individually-assessed tasks consistently read as augmentable (95%).

• Document robotic application development, maintenance, or changes.
• Review or approve designs, calculations, or cost estimates.
• Debug robotics programs.
• Write algorithms or programming code for ad hoc robotic applications.
• Install, calibrate, operate, or maintain robots.
• Process or interpret signals or sensor data.
• Make system device lists or event timing charts.
• Integrate robotics with peripherals, such as welders, controllers, or other equipment.
• Evaluate robotic systems or prototypes.
• Create back-ups of robot programs or parameters.
• Build, configure, or test robots or robotic applications.
• Provide technical support for robotic systems.
• Design automated robotic systems to increase production volume or precision in high-throughput operations, such as automated ribonucleic acid (RNA) analysis or sorting, moving, or stacking production materials.
• Design software to control robotic systems for applications, such as military defense or manufacturing.
• Supervise technologists, technicians, or other engineers.
• Design robotic systems, such as automatic vehicle control, autonomous vehicles, advanced displays, advanced sensing, robotic platforms, computer vision, or telematics systems.
• Design end-of-arm tooling.
• Investigate mechanical failures or unexpected maintenance problems.
• Conduct research on robotic technology to create new robotic systems or system capabilities.

• Conduct research into the feasibility, design, operation, or performance of robotic mechanisms, components, or systems, such as planetary rovers, multiple mobile robots, reconfigurable robots, or man-machine interactions.
