CEO Brian Geisel talks robotics on Canadian website. How can you break into the robotics business? Brian Geisel has significant experience working on robotics for major companies, so he was naturally interviewed on the topic for Canada’s #1 job and job intel site, jobpostings.ca.
Excerpts from the article:
“According to CEO of Geisel Software, Brain Geisel, there are a number of ways to get involved with robotics. Earning a bachelor’s degree in computer science, electrical engineering, or mechanical engineering is the best place to start. Some of Canada’s most prestigious robotics-specific programs belong to the British Columbia Institute of Technology, University of Alberta, and University of Western Ontario.
The other way to enter robotics is directly from a similar field, says Geisel, who spent much of his career working on embedded projects for mobile storage applications. Having been a software engineer with a good handle on hardware, it was a good fit for the robotics industry where a crossbreed of disciplines is essential. Coming from a solid background in a mesh of technical disciplines is a great way to get into the industry.
He adds that the field is continuing to grow and diversify, especially since you can now work on everything from the robots that handle the warehouses to stock WalMart stores to assisting with a NASA (or private) mission to Mars. In fact, according to Geisel, robotics remains one of very few fields where the moon is a viable travel destination.”
