As the global space race has heated up in recent years, the demand for task execution in space is also growing rapidly.
GITAI applies the general-purpose autonomous space robotics technology, know-how, and experience to develop extra-vehicular robotics (EVR) that can execute docking, repair, and maintenance tasks for On-Orbit Servicing (OOS) or conduct various activities for lunar exploration and lunar base construction.
In 2040, GITAI will be an equal partner with the world’s leading space launch companies providing affordable and safe means of labor to build space colonies and cities on the Moon and Mars.
The Robotics System Engineer will lead the conceptual study, architectural design, detailed to prototype design, and production of complex robotic systems in a highly novel domain.
The Robotics System Engineer is required to carry out the Plan-Do-Check-Act Cycle in an agile manner collaborating with a small group of members to design and develop an unprecedented system and product.
Responsibilities
1. Robot system architecture design
a. Examine robotic system schematics based on specifications from novel domains.
b. Carry out cross-functional development keeping in mind electrical, mechanical, and software constraints.
2. Hardware development
