ZipStaff is seeking a Lab Engineer for system verification and validation of next-generation robotics at a global e-commerce and robotics organization north of Boston.
You will own test-lab uptime: fixtures, PLC/IO, motion capture, and hands-on robot repair. This is a physical lab seat, not a software-only robotics role.
What You’ll Do:- Operate, maintain, and troubleshoot test environments, fixtures, PLC/IO controls, and lab equipment.
- Perform hardware rework, component testing, prototype fabrication, and robot repairs.
- Set up, calibrate, operate, and troubleshoot optical motion capture (OptiTrack, Vicon) and devices such as force plates.
- Manage lab resources, stock, and station PC/webcam systems under lockout/interlock safety rules.
- Read CAD, electrical schematics, specs, and SOPs.
- Write test reports, work instructions, and lessons learned.
- 5+ years in a technical lab, robotics, electro-mechanical, or automation environment.
- 5+ years troubleshooting electro-mechanical systems, PLC/IO, or lab equipment.
- 3+ years hardware rework, repair, prototype fabrication, component testing, and LOTO / interlock safety.
- Ability to work on-site at Wilmington, North Reading, or Woburn, MA.
- Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future.
- OptiTrack or Vicon (rigid body/skeleton setup and post-processing).
- Python and/or C++ for data streaming or lab automation.
- Force plates, gantry controls, or other instrumentation in a mocap environment.
- Multi-site lab operations.
ZipStaff partners with leading organizations to connect skilled technology professionals with high-impact contract opportunities. We focus on quality matches, clear communication, and long-term success for candidates and clients.
To apply, submit your resume highlighting hands-on robotics or electro-mechanical lab work, PLC/IO, and any OptiTrack/Vicon experience.
