Robotics & Mechatronics Engineer

Overview

🛠 What You’ll Get Your Hands On

• Design, develop, and prototype autonomous ground robot and drone hardware systems as part of Snoonu’s AI-driven autonomous logistics platform.
• Lead the integration of mechanical, electrical, and electromechanical subsystems, including actuators, drivetrains, power systems, and structural components.
• Integrate and validate sensing hardware such as LiDAR, radar, cameras, IMU, GPS, and thermal sensors in collaboration with AI and embedded systems teams.
• Support the design and implementation of hardware adaptations for Qatar’s environmental conditions, including heat, dust, glare, vibration, and outdoor exposure (IP-rated enclosures, thermal management, sealing).
• Collaborate closely with AI, embedded, and software engineers to ensure seamless integration between hardware, perception, navigation, and control stacks.
• Conduct hands-on testing, calibration, debugging, and performance validation of robotic systems in laboratory, simulation, and real-world pilot environments.
• Support system-level integration activities for multi-robot and drone deployments, including pilot demonstrations and validation trials.
• Document hardware designs, test procedures, calibration processes, and experimental results to support R&D reporting, regulatory reviews, and TRL validation.
• Continuously evaluate hardware performance, identify design improvements, and contribute to iterative prototyping cycles aligned with project milestones.

🧙‍♂️ The Magic You Bring

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Robotics Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field.
• 2–4 years of backend development experience, with strong hands-on Python expertise
• Strong problem-solving mindset with a hands-on, experimental approach to engineering challenges.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams across AI, software, embedded systems, and operations.
• Good communication skills, with the ability to document technical work clearly and explain design decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Adaptability and willingness to work in fast-paced R&D environments involving prototyping, testing, and iteration.
• Strong business context understanding, able to translate operational needs into technical solutions.
• Open to feedback and proactive in applying improvements suggested by senior engineers or tech leads.

Core Backend & Python

• Strong foundation in Python, including OOP principles, design patterns, and writing clean, maintainable code.
• Experience building backend services using frameworks such as FastAPI, Flask, or Django.
• Ability to design, develop, and maintain RESTful APIs with proper error handling and logging.

AWS & Cloud

• Experience using AWS services, such as Lambda, SQS/SNS, API Gateway, Step Functions, DynamoDB, RDS, S3, and CloudWatch.
• Experience designing event-driven and serverless architectures.
• Familiarity with IAM, environment configuration, and cloud security best practices.
• Robotics focus
• Strong understanding of mechatronic system design, including motors, actuators, sensors, power systems, and mechanical structures.
• Hands-on experience with robotic platforms, autonomous vehicles, or UAV systems.
• Familiarity with ROS / ROS2 and robotic system integration workflows.
• Experience with CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks, Fusion 360) and basic mechanical fabrication or assembly processes.
• Understanding of sensor calibration, system alignment, and hardware-software integration.
• Knowledge of power management, battery systems, and thermal considerations for mobile robotic platforms.
• Experience with environmental testing, field trials, or outdoor robotic deployments is a strong advantage.
