Location: Via Melen 83, 16152 Genoa, ItalyContract: Full-time, Permanent About UsGenerative Bionics is a deep-tech company building humanoid robot platforms to deploy human-centered Physical AI. We design intelligent, capable machines that work alongside people in real-world environments — developed in Genova, Italy. RoleWe are looking for a skilled and hands-on Robotic Welding Engineer to develop and validate welding capabilities on our humanoid robotic platform. In a humanoid robot, welding is not just a manufacturing process, but a tightly coupled interaction between perception, motion, force control, and process physics. In this role, you will design, integrate, and experimentally validate robotic welding systems, enabling the robot to execute consistent, high-quality welds in complex and dynamic environments. You will collaborate closely with robotics, control, perception, and AI engineers, contributing your domain expertise to shape how welding is modeled, executed, and adapted on a humanoid robot. ResponsibilitiesDesign and integrate welding processes on a humanoid robotic platform, including torches, power sources, wire feeders, and toolingDefine and execute structured experiments to characterize weld quality, robustness, and repeatability across materials, joint types, and welding positionsCollaborate with motion planning and control teams to align robot trajectories, force/impedance control, and timing constraints with welding process requirementsContribute to modeling welding processes and constraints for simulation, offline programming, and validationSupport integration and use of sensors (vision, force/torque, arc sensing, temperature) for seam tracking, monitoring, and adaptive welding strategiesDeploy welding procedures from test setups to the humanoid robot and iterate based on experimental and real-world resultsWork cross-functionally with mechatronics, control, and AI teams to incorporate welding expertise into robotic behaviors and data-driven systems RequirementsDegree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, Materials Engineering, or equivalent3+ years of experience with robotic welding systems, automated welding cells, or advanced manufacturing R&D environmentsStrong hands-on knowledge of industrial welding processes, including parameter tuning and defect analysisExperience working with industrial or collaborative robots, including setup, calibration, and deploymentProven ability to design experiments, analyze results, and iterate on hardware and process parametersComfortable working in laboratory or shop-floor environments with real equipment and safety constraintsAvailability to travel nationally and internationally is expected. Valued ExtrasExperience with non-conventional robotic platforms (e.G., humanoids or mobile manipulators)Basic to intermediate programming skills (Python, C++, or robot programming languages) for automation, data analysis, or integrationKnowledge of force control, impedance control, or adaptive welding techniquesExperience with vision-based seam tracking or automated weld inspectionBackground in R&D, prototyping, or research-oriented manufacturing projects We OfferThe opportunity to contribute to the development of cutting-edge humanoid robotic systemsA stimulating and informal work environment alongside highly skilled technical and research teamsEmployment contract under the Italian Metalworking Collective Labor Agreement (CCNL Metalmeccanico), commensurate with experienceConcrete opportunities for professional growth DisclaimerWe are proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer.
