COMPLIANCE
United States Citizens or Green Card holders only; sponsorship and corporate relocation assistance are not available For a seasoned robotics professional or automation specialist who thrives on variety and wants to see their code physically move massive machinery, this direct-hire engineering track offers an unmatched professional canvas. The employer is a highly prestigious, multi-generational automation innovator that engineers large-scale, custom manufacturing solutions for world-class brands spanning the automotive, aerospace, and consumer goods sectors. Because their global client footprint is incredibly diverse, the firm enjoys remarkable market insulation and continuous backlog growth. The company completely rejects corporate bureaucracy, maintaining a highly supportive, close-knit engineering culture where technical contributors have a direct voice in system design. This role is unique because it spans the entire project lifecycle. An engineer will see a custom cell born on the paper, program its initial logic path from scratch, debug its movements on the assembly floor, and ultimately deploy it live at a customer's facility, providing an incredible sense of project ownership and technical accomplishment. What You Will Be Doing Starting up and initializing complex industrial robotic platforms from scratch, including frame calibration, mastering, and multi-protocol I/O communication configurations. Designing complete robot programming architecture, ensuring seamless handshaking logic between articulated arms, central PLC programs, and standalone material handling platforms. Collaborating directly with internal project leads through the entire build, run-off, and debug lifecycle to guarantee systems meet strict customer performance cycle times. Providing hands-on technical guidance during mechanical and electrical assembly, tracking down complex wiring faults, and optimizing advanced end-of-arm tooling (EOAT). Integrating, calibrating, and programming advanced 2D/3D Vision Systems into robotic cells for high-speed part inspection, sorting, and precision guidance applications. Partnering with internal application engineering groups to provide critical real-time technical insight when designing future automation concepts and quoting custom projects. Mentoring shop assembly technicians and junior automation personnel to ensure build efficiencies remain exceptionally high.
What We Are Looking For Integration Pedigree:
4 to 6 years of proven, hands-on field experience configuring and commissioning complex robotic arms and PLC-controlled industrial equipment.
Software & Code Fluency:
Direct experience utilizing robotic offline simulation software, editing ladder logic, and referencing digital mechanical designs within CAD or SolidWorks environments.
Diagnostic Instincts:
Expert-level capability diagnosing multi-variant automated system faults across robotic, electrical, fluid power, and mechanical safety domains.
Vision Integration Track Record:
Practical background setting up, troubleshooting, and programming dedicated vision hardware, lighting arrays, and cameras.
Deployment Flexibility:
Full, unconditional willingness and capability to travel 30% to 40% of the year globally to handle technical cell startups and face-to-face client commissioning.
Professional Stability:
A rock-solid, reliable employment background showcasing long-term career commitment and technical growth with previous organizations. Please apply here or at impactsolutions.com/opportunities where you can see and apply for any of our open positions.
