Company mission
To make vision-guided robotics the norn, not the exception, on the shop floor.
Role
Who you are
- Strong hands-on experience with industrial robots (FANUC, ABB, UR, KUKA, etc.)
- Solid programming skills in Python
- Good understanding of robotics principles (kinematics, calibration, control)
- Experience with testing, debugging, and validation of robotics or embedded systems
- Ability to structure and execute rigorous test plans
- Comfortable working with hardware, lab equipment, and iterative experiments
- Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset
- Fluent in English
- Ownership from end to end
- High rigor and high standards
- Curiosity and a hands-on mindset
- Ability to move fast while staying precise
- A proactive, autonomous, results-driven energy
- Strong collaboration with engineering teams
Desirable
- Experience with 3D vision, point clouds, camera calibration
- CAD modeling skills
- 3D printing and prototyping
What the job involves
- You will work closely with teams in Paris, the US, and Japan, and your work will directly impact deployments in factories worldwide
- Your mission is to break our product before the customer ever can
- As a Robotics Test & Validation Engineer, you will own the internal validation of our product across robots, environments, and use cases
- You will stress-test our system, identify edge cases, push reliability, and play a critical role in ensuring our generalist vision model performs flawlessly in production
- You will spend most of your time in our lab on real robots, and you will occasionally join our deployment team on customer sites to understand real-world environments, constraints, and failure modes. This feedback loop is key to making our product robust in actual factory conditions
- Design, execute, and maintain internal test plans for our robotics guidance system
- Set up and run tests on industrial robots (FANUC, ABB, UR, KUKA, etc.) in our lab
- Reproduce customer-side issues internally, diagnose root causes, and validate fixes
- Benchmark product performance across lighting, environments, objects, and tasks
- Identify failure modes and push the team to resolve reliability gaps
- Develop and automate validation pipelines whenever possible
- Document test results clearly and drive issues to closure with engineering
- Join deployment teams on selected field deployments to observe real factory environments, collect feedback, and feed it back into our validation process
- Collaborate with teams in Europe, the US, and Japan to align on product quality and deployment readiness
- Contribute to improving product robustness, safety, and deployment readiness
Application process
- Start Date: ASAP
- Screening interview with Max
- Technical interview with the Engineering team
- Final interview with the founders
- References verifying past project experience are required. The full process can be completed in under two weeks. The full process can be completed in under two weeks
Our take
The advent of smarter robotics presents an opportunity to overhaul industrial and manufacturing processes for the better. But getting these robotics to a place where they can efficiently and effectively take on real-life tasks presents a challenge.
Inbolt is here to help facilitate make this change, with a vision system designed to empower industrial robots with the ability to adapt in real-time to their surroundings. At its core, the company's system acts as a guide to ensure robotic arms can move around spaces without the need for expensive, time-consuming and inflexible jigs and indexing systems.
It's a valuable proposition that brings with it the possibility to automate manufacturing processes such as tightening, glue application, visual inspection and the grasping of parts on moving lines.
Now, with the launch of its AI-powered bin-picking solution and a breakthrough collaboration with Fanuc, Inbolt is pushing even further, allowing robots to perform precision tasks on continuously moving production lines, without costly infrastructure changes. Already adopted by manufacturers including General Motors, the technology is showing that real-time, adaptive robotics isn't just viable, but ready for large-scale industrial deployment
