Robotics Systems Integration Engineer

Department: EngineeringLocation: Louisville, COCompensation: $90,000 - $160,000 / yearDescriptionStratom, Inc. is a mission-driven engineering company building autonomous and unmanned off-highway vehicles and related robotic systems. Our systems operate in demanding real-world environments, where performance, reliability, and engineering discipline are essential. Our work integrates advanced autonomy with rugged industrial hardware designed for austere conditions.Our work spans the full lifecycle of complex systems, from early concept and prototyping through fielded deployment. With multiple working prototypes in hand, our next major opportunity is transitioning these platforms into production over the coming years to deliver capable systems at scale. We are looking for talented and engineers who want to take ownership of challenging engineering problems and play a key role in bringing multiple platforms into production.Duties and ResponsibilitiesOwn the integration and execution of mechatronic robotic systems, including computers, sensors, wiring harnesses, control systems, and wireless networksTranslate system requirements, MBSE diagrams, and interfaces into practical, buildable hardware solutions in collaboration with the engineering teamMake and document system-level design tradeoffs related to power, compute, sensing, packaging, and safetyDesign and implement electrical architectures, wiring schematics, cable layouts, and power distribution solutionsSelect, integrate, and bring up control systems and autonomous sensing platformsIntegrate industrial automation technologies such as hydraulic systems, robotic arms, motion control, cooling, and safety systemsDesign and support electronics packaging and enclosures for rugged, off-highway, and field environmentsBuild and modify hardware through hands-on prototyping and fabrication using shop tools (mills, drills, welders, etc.)Drive system-level debugging and troubleshooting across electrical, mechanical, and software domainsIdentify, manage, and mitigate integration risks throughout developmentExecute and support integration testing, verification, validation, and field testing effortsQualificationsRequirementsBachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or a related fieldDemonstrated experience designing, building, and integrating complex electromechanical or robotic systemsStrong hands-on background in wiring harness design, electrical integration, and system assemblyExperience selecting and integrating sensors, actuators, and compute platformsComfort working hands-on with mechanical systems, vehicles, or industrial equipmentAbility to troubleshoot system-level issues spanning hardware, controls, and integrationSelf-directed engineer with strong ownership, accountability, and follow-throughPreferred SkillsExperience with autonomous or unmanned vehicle systems operating in real-world environmentsFamiliarity with industrial automation systems, including hydraulics, servos, motion control, and safety systemsFamiliarity with autonomous sensing technologies, including cameras, LiDAR, and point cloud–based systemsExperience designing ruggedized electronics and wiring for harsh environmentsUnderstanding of military specifications related to safety, electronics, power, mechanical, and environmental requirementsExperience supporting systems through prototype iteration, field testing, and transition toward productionFamiliarity with relevant military and industry standards, such as MIL-STD-882, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461/464, ISO 26262, etc.Ability to provide technical leadership, set priorities, and guide others during integration activitiesA Note About This RoleThese qualifications represent the types of experience that tend to be successful at Stratom. We are intentionally building a small team of engineers who take responsibility for delivering real systems. We value engineers who bring complementary strengths. Roles at Stratom often intersect, and the exact responsibilities may evolve based on the skills and initiative of the person who joins. Ultimately, we are building a team that contributes to our mission.We recognize that great engineers come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. If you are excited about the role but don’t meet every qualification listed, we still encourage you to apply.Additional RequirementsThis position requires use of information which is subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and/or the Export Administration Regulations (EAR).
