Industrial Robotics Engineer

About the role

This remote, full-time role focuses on designing, integrating, and validating robotic automation systems for industrial environments across programming, motion planning, perception, and controls.

Responsibilities

• Design industrial robot workcells including tooling, EOAT requirements, and sensor placement
• Develop robot programs using OEM environments and/or ROS-based stacks
• Implement motion planning, trajectory optimization, and cycle-time improvements
• Integrate PLCs, fieldbus (e.g., EtherNet/IP, PROFINET), and safety PLC logic with robot controllers
• Calibrate robots, cameras, and coordinate frames for repeatable performance
• Build perception pipelines using 2D/3D vision for picking, inspection, and localization
• Run simulation/digital twin validation and offline programming
• Execute commissioning, acceptance testing, and production ramp support
• Perform root-cause analysis on downtime events and implement corrective actions
• Document SOPs, maintenance procedures, and validation reports aligned with QA and safety standards

Requirements

• Mid-senior experience delivering industrial robotics or automation systems
• Hands-on robot programming and commissioning experience
• PLC and safety systems integration (e-stops, light curtains, safety-rated monitored stop)
• Proficiency in Python and/or C++
• Experience with ROS/ROS2 or equivalent middleware
• Ability to create test plans, run QA evaluations, and track reliability metrics (MTBF/MTTR)
