End Effector Integration Engineer The hands of a humanoid robot are yours to design. Zurich

The hands of a humanoid robot are yours to design.

Your Role & Responsibilities

• Own the end-effector strategy across different industrial robotics applications.

• Analyze customer workflows and operational requirements to identify the most suitable endeffector solutions.

• Evaluate and select commercially available end-effectors including grippers, suction systems, hooks, tool changers, robotic hands, cameras, and specialized tooling.

• Drive standardization and platform thinking by reducing the number of end-effector variants while maximizing use-case coverage.

• Define requirements for future end-effector solutions based on customer needs, product requirements, and engineering constraints.

• Coordinate and manage relationships with external suppliers, technology partners, and development vendors.

• Support feasibility studies, proof-of-concepts, customer evaluations, and pilot deployments.

• Define evaluation criteria, benchmarking methodologies, and trade-off analyses for endeffector technologies.

• Develop business cases and technical recommendations for buy-vs-build decisions.

• Track emerging technologies and market trends in manipulation, grasping, vacuum handling, tactile sensing, dexterous hands, and industrial tooling.

• Ensure successful integration of selected end-effectors into the robotic platform and deployment workflows.

• Contribute to the development of a long-term manipulation and tooling roadmap.
