TL;DR · Robotics Engineer, Manufacturing Automation

The Robotics Engineer, Manufacturing Automation joins the Manufacturing Automation team to design, integrate, and deploy automated systems across factories. This role involves selecting and integrating industrial robot and cobot applications, developing motion planning and vision-based guidance, and designing robot cell layouts with safety enclosures. You will specify end-of-arm tooling, execute simulation models to validate cycle times, and implement safety functions like STO and SLS. Key technical requirements include programming FANUC and UR robots, utilizing simulation software like ROBOGUIDE or Visual Components, and understanding robot kinematics and dynamics. Candidates must be proficient in troubleshooting servo motors, EtherNet/IP, and Profinet. The work focuses on solving production automation challenges by establishing internal standards for robotic system design, programming, and integration within a manufacturing production environment.

What you'll do

  • Select, design, and integrate industrial robot and cobot applications from concept to production.
  • Develop, optimize, and debug robot programs for motion planning, safety, and vision guidance.
  • Specify and integrate end-of-arm tooling including grippers, sensors, and custom tooling.
  • Design robot cell layouts, safety enclosures, work envelopes, and necessary infrastructure.
  • Implement and verify industrial safety functions in accordance with relevant safety standards.
  • Execute simulation models to validate robot reach, cycle time, and potential collisions.
  • Develop and enforce internal standards for robotic system design, programming, and integration.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a closely related field.
  • 4+ years of hands-on experience in robotics and automation within a manufacturing production environment.
  • Capability in programming and commissioning robots and cobots from FANUC and UR.
  • Proficiency in utilizing robot simulation software such as FANUC ROBOGUIDE, UR Virtual Controller, or Visual Components.
  • Understanding of robot kinematics, dynamics, motion control, and advanced path planning techniques.
  • Proficiency in configuration, tuning, and troubleshooting of robot drives, servo motors, and motion control systems.
  • In-depth knowledge of industrial safety standards (ISO 10218, RIA R15.06) and safety functions like STO and SLS.
  • Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities.
