Robotics Engineer

Company Description Quantum Forge Robotics designs advanced mobile robotic systems built to think, move, and work alongside people in industrial environments. The company’s precision-engineered GO2, G1, and H1 units are focused on redefining how organizations approach mobility, automation, and safety on the factory floor and in logistics operations. Applicants can expect to work with cutting-edge hardware and software platforms that enable intelligent, adaptable robotic behavior. Quantum Forge Robotics values innovation, practical engineering, and collaboration between multidisciplinary teams to bring robust robotic solutions to market.

Role Description The Robotics Engineer role is a full-time, on-site position based in Ballinger, TX. This role focuses on designing, integrating, and testing robotic systems for Quantum Forge Robotics platforms, including navigation, perception, and control components. Day-to-day responsibilities include developing and optimizing software for robotic behavior, collaborating with hardware engineers on sensor and actuator integration, and troubleshooting system-level performance in lab and industrial settings. The Robotics Engineer will document designs, testing procedures, and results, and work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure solutions meet safety, reliability, and performance standards. The role also involves continuous improvement of existing product lines and contributing to new product concepts and prototypes.

Qualifications

• Robotics and process automation skills, including experience with robotic platforms, control systems, and industrial automation workflows.
• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to diagnose complex system issues, interpret data, and optimize performance.
• Software development skills, ideally in languages such as C++, Python, or ROS-based frameworks, applied to real-time or embedded systems.
• Clear and effective communication skills, including the ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and document technical work.
• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience with sensor integration (e.g., LiDAR, cameras, IMUs) and motion planning or SLAM is highly beneficial.
• Familiarity with safety standards for industrial robots and experience testing systems in lab or production environments is a plus.
• Ability to work on-site in Ballinger, TX, and engage in hands-on prototyping, testing, and system validation.
