TL;DR · Robotics Automation Engineer / Senior Engineer

JOB TITLE: Robotics Automation Engineer / Senior Engineer The Robotics Automation Engineer / Senior Engineer joins the team to design, program, and deploy industrial robots, collaborative robots, and AMRs/AGVs within manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics environments. This role involves integrating robots with end effectors, conveyors, safety systems, machine vision, and enterprise software like MES, WMS, and ERP. You will develop control logic and interfaces using ROS/ROS 2, Python, C++, and various OEM tools. Key responsibilities include performing reach and cycle-time studies, conducting virtual commissioning using digital twins in platforms like NVIDIA Isaac Sim or Gazebo, and supporting robotics intelligence such as SLAM and motion planning. You will troubleshoot hardware and software issues, conduct safety assessments, and manage robot training workflows to ensure reliable, scalable production systems in complex operational settings.

What you'll do

  • Design, program, configure, and deploy industrial robots, collaborative robots, and autonomous mobile vehicles (AMRs/AGVs).
  • Integrate robotic systems with end effectors, conveyors, safety systems, machine vision, and enterprise software like ERP or WMS.
  • Develop robot programs and control logic using tools such as ROS/ROS 2, Python, C++, and other automation technologies.
  • Utilize digital twins and simulation for offline programming, layout validation, and risk reduction during the deployment process.
  • Support robotics intelligence capabilities including perception, localization, SLAM, motion planning, and autonomous decision logic.
  • Conduct integration testing, safety assessments, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and site acceptance procedures to ensure production readiness.
  • Troubleshoot software, control systems, networks, sensors, and mechanical issues during commissioning and post-go-live support.
  • Document robot programs, configurations, operating procedures, and runbooks for ongoing maintenance and support.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum 3 years of experience in robotics automation, robot programming, controls integration, AMR/AGV deployment, or autonomous systems.
  • Hands-on experience with at least one industrial robot, cobot, or mobile-robot ecosystem such as FANUC, ABB, KUKA, or Universal Robots.
  • Proficiency in robotics fundamentals including coordinate frames, kinematics, motion, sensors, controls, and safe operation.
  • Ability to read engineering drawings and troubleshoot across hardware and software in operational environments.
  • Bachelor's degree, or an associate degree with at least 6 years of experience, or 12 years of relevant work experience.
  • Experience integrating robotics with automation equipment, software (PLC/SCADA), and operational processes (MES, WMS, ERP).
  • Knowledge of the Physical AI lifecycle including simulation, training, orchestration, and industrial data.
  • Experience with ROS/ROS 2, Python, C++, machine vision, or simulation tools like NVIDIA Isaac Sim is preferred.
