Job Description

Senior / Staff Robotics Engineer — Cytronic

Location: Dallas, TX, with occasional travel to California

Technacity is partnering with Cytronic to hire a Senior / Staff Robotics Engineer based in Dallas. Cytronic builds automated fulfillment systems that use robots to pick, pack, and sort orders. In this role, you’ll lead the architecture for Cytronic’s next generation of robotics systems, with ownership across computer vision, robot integration, and performance.

You’ll be based in Dallas, where we’re building out the development and test site for our next-generation systems. You’ll work directly with hardware and partner with the Dallas Operations Manager for on-site support. 

What you’ll do

• Lead the robotics architecture and make technical decisions across computer vision, robot control, and hardware integration.
• Start by reducing pick cycle time on the Concord test bench and adding logging for every pick so the team can measure performance and diagnose failures.
• Develop and integrate computer vision for robotic picking. Test changes on physical hardware and use the results to improve speed and reliability.
• Help bring up the Dallas test site and work with the Operations Manager to coordinate hardware testing and troubleshooting.
• Scope the Chicago installation, select and contract a system integrator, and define how Cytronic will verify that the installation meets requirements.

What you’ll bring

• Strong Python skills and experience writing software that runs on physical robotics or automation systems.
• Experience applying computer vision to robotics, such as object detection, localization, or picking.
• Working familiarity with ROS 2 and comfort debugging across software, sensors, and hardware.
• Experience making system architecture decisions and carrying them through integration, testing, and deployment.
• Ability to work closely with engineering, operations, and external integration partners.
• Based in Dallas or willing to relocate, with availability for occasional travel to California.

Experience with robotic manipulation, warehouse automation, cycle-time optimization, or managing an external system integrator is a plus.
