Industrial Robotics Engineer (Brazil)

Join Rex.zone in a full-time remote Industrial Robotics Engineer role focused on delivering robot-driven automation projects for Brazil-based stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Design and integrate industrial robot cells (material handling, palletizing, welding, assembly) with PLC-controlled equipment
• Develop and maintain robot programs (teach pendant and offline programming) and manage version-controlled backups
• Implement and debug PLC logic, IO mapping, fieldbus communication, and safety interlocks
• Specify and validate end-of-arm tooling (EOAT), grippers, and sensing strategies
• Configure and tune vision-guided robotics for localization, inspection, and pick-and-place alignment
• Plan and execute commissioning, FAT/SAT checklists, and run-at-rate validation with production teams
• Perform root-cause analysis on downtime events and implement corrective actions to improve OEE
• Create controls documentation (IO lists, wiring diagram markups, change logs, SOPs)
• Collaborate across mechanical, electrical, quality, and operations to meet throughput and quality targets
• Ensure compliance with industrial safety standards, risk assessments, and lockout/tagout procedures

Requirements

• Mid-senior experience delivering industrial automation/robotics projects in manufacturing environments
• Hands-on robot cell integration experience and familiarity with common industrial robot platforms
• Strong PLC programming and troubleshooting skills; ability to interpret electrical schematics and IO
• Commissioning experience supporting production ramp-ups
• Working knowledge of industrial networks (EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus) and sensor integration
• Understanding of functional safety concepts (safety relays, safety PLCs, interlocks, light curtains)
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and follow change-control discipline
• Comfort collaborating remotely across time zones and coordinating with on-site technicians

Schedule

This role is explicitly remote, collaborating with Brazil-based stakeholders and coordinating with on-site teams for installation/commissioning as needed.
