Senior Field Applications Engineer (Battery Systems)

<div>We are Universe Energy, and we are the battery dismantling and repurposing company.Our mission is to scale battery reuse as the largest source of the next billion batteries. The world needs 2 billion batteries by 2050, but this comes at a huge cost to the planet, as we need to mine 30x more. We dismantle and sort used battery packs 7x faster and 50% cheaper than by hand using robotics, AI and sound for EV OEMs, battery makers and fleets. Once we dismantle 1000s of battery packs, we repurpose them into $4000 cheap grid batteries that are 20% cheaper than making new ones. Our vision is to become the leading maker of zero-impact batteries by building 1 million batteries/year by 2035. This will power a truly clean energy revolution at scale and reduce 6 Giga tons of CO2 by 2050. We are Universe Energy, and we make batteries eternal.</div> The Bonobo Robot dismantles batteries. We are building a cognitive robot that we call Bonobo that automatically diagnose, discharge, and disassemble EV batteries using robotic manipulation, autonomous controls, and computer vision. The first-generation robotic system will automatically assess the battery’s state of health, remove covers from arbitrary battery packs (500 kg), and perform safe discharging. It then disassembles these batteries from the pack level (500 kg) down to the module level (25 kg). Bonobo can take batteries apart 4x faster and safer than a human at 6x the throughput, leading to 50% lower unit economics.Job objective You will conceptualize, architect, engineer, and deploy algorithms that allow the robot to see and recognize the configuration of EV battery packs. The perception system then tells the robot what it sees and identifies parts like connectors, welding seams, and modules. You will scan the battery packs and cells to decide on their health by analyzing images from battery cell material. Then it instructs the Bonobo robot how to take these apart. You will then validate the software with what the cameras and sensors on the Bonobo preceive.<h3>How you will contribute</h3><ul><li style="color:rgb(14, 16, 26);margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">Develop production-level &amp; robust computer vision modules for classification, counting, tracking, 3D reconstruction, camera calibration, and segmentation.</li><li style="color:rgb(14, 16, 26);margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">Research and implement machine perception &amp; visual understanding of battery systems to enable counting, detection, localization, and labeling.</li><li style="color:rgb(14, 16, 26);margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">Recognize, analyze, and process images of scans of battery cells from non-intrusive methods such as X-ray, CT-scan, and ultrasound.</li><li style="color:rgb(14, 16, 26);margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">Build perception software that integrates computer vision, sensor fusion, decision-making functions, and structures data-set generation.</li><li style="color:rgb(14, 16, 26);margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">Develop and implement classical and learning-based computer vision on real-time platforms.</li><li style="color:rgb(14, 16, 26);margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">Perform sensor selection for the camera perception system like RGB, infrared, and laser scan.

<div>We are Universe Energy, and we are the battery dismantling and repurposing company.Our mission is to scale battery reuse as the largest source of the next billion batteries. The world needs 2 billion batteries by 2050, but this comes at a huge cost to the planet, as we need to mine 30x more. We dismantle and sort used battery packs 7x faster and 50% cheaper than by hand using robotics, AI and sound for EV OEMs, battery makers and fleets. Once we dismantle 1000s of battery packs, we repurpose them into $4000 cheap grid batteries that are 20% cheaper than making new ones. Our vision is to become the leading maker of zero-impact batteries by building 1 million batteries/year by 2035. This will power a truly clean energy revolution at scale and reduce 6 Giga tons of CO2 by 2050. We are Universe Energy, and we make batteries eternal.</div> The Bonobo Robot dismantles batteries. We are building a cognitive robot that we call Bonobo that automatically diagnose, discharge, and disassemble EV batteries using robotic manipulation, autonomous controls, and computer vision. The first-generation robotic system will automatically assess the battery’s state of health, remove covers from arbitrary battery packs (500 kg), and perform safe discharging. It then disassembles these batteries from the pack level (500 kg) down to the module level (25 kg). Bonobo can take batteries apart 4x faster and safer than a human at 6x the throughput, leading to 50% lower unit economics.Job objective You will architect, engineer, and deploy the Bonobo robotics software that plans all actions to perform battery disassembly of incoming battery packs. It involves designing software integration of controls, perception functions, and path planning. You will develop all ranges of robotic actions to disassemble batteries including disassembly sequence planning, path planning, and collision avoidance using perception. You will design control systems to integrate industrial robotic systems and gantry-based motion systems to enable the automated battery disassembly process. You will architect the controls for end-effectors to provide all ranges of disassembly actions. You will validate these functions in simulation and the real world with force controls and feedback.<h3>How you will contribute</h3><ul><li style="color:rgb(14, 16, 26);margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">Deliver the Bonobo robotic software system &amp; infrastructure by integrating path planning, control software, and image recognition.</li><li style="color:rgb(14, 16, 26);margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">Develop a control software to deploy all functionalities in the robotic system from path planning, positioning, and controlling end-effectors with inverse kinematics.</li><li style="color:rgb(14, 16, 26);margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">Make a selection through trade studies of industrial robotic systems (like Fanuc, Kuka, ABB, Comau), design gantry-based motion systems, and industrial PLC controllers.</li><li style="color:rgb(14, 16, 26);margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">Develop control &amp; path planning algorithms for end-effectors and their motion planning and control algorithms.
