Our Robotics and Automation Research (ROAR) Laboratory at SUTD is a leading research laboratory specializing in reconfigurable robotics and has contributed to significant intellectual outcomes, novel robotic platforms, impactful applications, patents, and commercial products. We have developed a new branch of robotics namely tiling robotics and a stream of associated research topics.

Your primary responsibilities include:

• Designing and developing reconfigurable robotic platforms to achieve project goals and KPIs (spanning surveillance, maintenance, and payload-carrying robot platforms)
• Implementing and researching specifications for various subsystem components, component analysis, designing for durability, maintainability, and estimating physical constraints required to achieve expected functionality and reconfigurability
• Have a strong publication background and should be able to formulate and design experiments to test and analyse different electromechanical systems and subsystems in robots.
• Have a good understanding of the electrical system of the robot so as to optimize the mechanical designs
• Have a strong understanding of the PCB design and fabrication
• Have a strong understanding of different manufacturing processes and manufacturing constraints
• Designing mounts for onboard sensors and computing equipment with consideration for dust and waterproof requirements
• Simulating using CAD Solidworks for FEA analysis and Keyshot demonstration
• Experience with electrical and electronic components and the use of fabrication and soldering set is strongly preferred
• Able to effectively work in a multi-disciplinary team and with third-party vendors
• Able to effectively communicate ideas and take constructive criticism

Requirements:

• PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electronics Engineering or related field
• Strong experience with mechanical design softwares and manufacturing processes
• Electromechanical system design experience is strongly preferred
