Experimental Officer in Innovative Manufacturing Processes for Fabricating Advanced Robots

Are you an enthusiastic and experienced applied researcher or technician in manufacturing systems? Are you looking for a new and exciting challenge as part of a world class robotics team?Do you want to design and create robotic systems that will change our lives? 

As part of a world class infrastructure robotics group at the University of Leeds you will design, analyse, manufacture, fabricate and test components for robotic systems. In particular you will explore the capabilities of metal 3D printing and laminate robot structure creation.

You will join a world class team at the University of Leeds developing a broad range of inspection robots including drones, mobile inspection robots, and some of the most advanced legged robots in the world. The Leeds team is responsible for many innovations including exploring the Great Pyramid of Giza with robots in 2011 and repairing roads with drones.

Our research is supported by the EPSRC National facility of Innovative robotic systems, which contains some of the most advanced manufacturing machines in the world.You will join buoyant active research environment of over 12 researchers at the University of Leeds in world class funded projects for robotic infrastructure inspection and repair (>£5M of active research funding).Robotics at Leeds has over 100 active members with research in the areas of Field Robotics, Medical Robotics, AI for robotics and Underpinning Science and Technology.
