Applications Engineer II

What You'll Do

• Own pieces of the full lifecycle that takes a robotic system from a customer requirement to a proven, deployed application:
• Requirements & project ownership — translate customer needs into specifications, objectives, requirements, and timelines, and drive projects from definition through delivery.
• Systems integration — work across interdisciplinary teams and subsystems, integrating sensors and motion systems (encoders, laser range finders, camera optics, load cells, and more) into applications that hold up on the factory floor.
• Test & validation — develop and execute test protocols, document results according to industry-standard requirements, and prove the system on real hardware.
• Customer delivery — deliver products to customers, run training, and iterate on the application based on field feedback.
• Engineering definition — apply CAD, GD&T, engineering drawings, and metrology concepts to define and verify how an application meets customer demand.

Required Experience

• Experience with interdisciplinary teams and systems.
• Strong understanding of sensors and motion systems (encoders, laser range finders, camera optics, load cells, etc.).
• Track record of product delivery to customers, including specification requirements, training, and feedback iteration.
• Developed and executed test protocols and documented results according to industry-standard requirements.
• Experience with object-oriented programming.
• Experience with CAD, GD&T, reading engineering drawings, and metrology concepts.
• Creating and executing on objectives, requirements, and timelines for projects.

Preferred Experience

• Experience with robotic arms, especially FANUC and Universal Robots systems.
• Understanding of aerospace processes (drilling, routing, welding).
• Master's degree in computer science, robotics, mechanical engineering, or aerospace engineering.
• Aerospace and MRO experience.
