TL;DR · Senior Robotics Engineer, Manufacturing Automation

Senior Robotics Engineer, Manufacturing Automation joins the Manufacturing Automation team to design, integrate, and deploy automated manufacturing systems across factories. This role involves selecting and integrating industrial robot and cobot applications from concept through production, developing motion planning and vision-based guidance programs, and designing robot cell layouts with necessary safety infrastructure. The candidate will manage end-of-arm tooling, execute simulation models for cycle time validation, and serve as a technical lead for multi-robot cells. Key requirements include expertise in FANUC and UR robots, proficiency in ROBOGUIDE or Visual Components, and knowledge of EtherNet/IP, Profinet, and PLC programming via Allen Bradley and Siemens. The role addresses the challenge of scaling production automation by implementing industrial safety standards like ISO 10218 while integrating vision systems for guidance, inspection, and quality control within a manufacturing environment.

What you'll do

  • Design and integrate industrial robot and cobot applications from initial concept through full production deployment.
  • Develop, optimize, and debug robot programs including motion planning, safety configurations, and vision-based guidance.
  • Specify and integrate end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) such as grippers, sensors, and custom tools.
  • Design and manage robot cell layouts, including work envelopes, infrastructure, and safety enclosures.
  • Implement and verify industrial safety functions in accordance with relevant safety standards.
  • Execute simulation models to validate robot reach, cycle time, and potential collisions before physical implementation.
  • Establish and enforce internal standards for robotic system design, programming, and integration.
  • Serve as a technical lead for complex multi-robot cells and mentor junior engineers.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • 8+ years of hands-on experience in robotics and automation within a manufacturing production environment.
  • Ability to program and commission FANUC and UR robots and utilize simulation software like ROBOGUIDE or Visual Components.
  • Proficiency in robot kinematics, dynamics, motion control, and advanced path planning techniques.
  • Expertise in industrial safety standards (ISO 10218, RIA R15.06) and implementing functions like STO and SLS.
  • Experience in EOAT selection and integration, as well as knowledge of EtherNet/IP and Profinet.
  • Must be a U.S. Person due to export control requirements.
  • 10+ years of experience, dispense system design, CAD proficiency, and TÜV FS Engineer certification (preferred).
