About the role
About Loombotic
Loombotic is automating the wire harness, the hand-built nervous system inside every robot, vehicle, and machine. It is one of the last big manufacturing processes still done almost entirely by hand, and we are changing that by building our own instant-quoting software and our own machines, shipping a custom harness in about a week instead of 6 to 12. Teams building robotics, aerospace, and advanced thermal and data-center hardware rely on us to get custom cables in days, not months.
This role builds the perception and robotics at the heart of that.
The role
You'll build the perception and robotics that let our automated line handle wires, connectors, and terminals - parts that are flexible, small, and hard for traditional automation. That means vision systems that find and orient connectors and wire ends, and robot motion that picks, places, routes, and terminates reliably on a real production floor. You'll own problems end-to-end, from prototype on the bench to running in production, working shoulder-to-shoulder with mechanical, controls, and the technicians who run the line.
Problems you'll get to solve
A few of the problems you'd actually work on:
-
Get a robot to reliably pick, orient, and place wires and connectors: flexible, shiny parts that have to be placed and seated to sub-millimeter precision, the kind of work traditional automation chokes on
-
Build vision that finds and localizes a specific connector, terminal, or wire end in clutter, under real factory lighting, fast enough to keep cycle time low
-
Solve high-precision insertion and termination: seating a terminal in the right cavity every time, at the tolerances harnesses demand
-
Drive a vision-guided task from works-in-a-demo to runs-untended on the line, by understanding both the algorithm and how the part actually behaves
