Supports project development and shopfloor implementation while leading the standardization of robotic systems, programming methodologies, and integration approaches. Drives innovation through development of proof-of-concept (POC) solutions and deployment of advanced robotics technologies across divisions. Essential Duties and Responsibilities Support development of robotic concepts, simulations, and feasibility studies, including cycle time analysis and system design. Lead standardization of robotics platforms, programming methodologies, end-of-arm tooling (EOAT), and integration approaches across all facilities. Develop, document, and maintain robotics standards, best practices, and reusable programming structures to ensure scalability and consistency. Support automation project development and execution, including design reviews, equipment specifications, and integration requirements. Provide hands-on support during shopfloor implementation, commissioning, and debugging of robotic systems. Program, troubleshoot, and optimize industrial robots and cobots (e.g., FANUC, ABB, KUKA, Universal Robots), ensuring reliability and performance. Ensure seamless integration of robotics systems with PLC controls, vision systems, and manufacturing equipment. Lead development and deployment of collaborative robot (cobot) applications, ensuring safe and efficient human-robot interaction. Drive continuous improvement initiatives to optimize cycle time, throughput, quality, and equipment reliability. Perform root cause analysis and implement corrective actions for robotics and automation-related downtime. Develop and execute proof-of-concept (POC) projects for advanced robotics technologies, including AI-enabled robotics, flexible automation, and adaptive systems. Identify and evaluate emerging robotics technologies and support scaling of successful innovations across multiple plants. Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Automation, Controls, Production, Quality, Maintenance, and Safety to support system improvements and deployments. Provide technical support and guidance to divisional engineering teams, including training on robotic systems, programming, and safety procedures. Support development of digital tools such as offline programming (OLP), simulation, and virtual commissioning for robotics applications. Ensure compliance with applicable safety standards (OSHA, MIOSHA, RIA) and corporate requirements for robotic systems. Support internal and external audits related to
ISO 9001
2015 and IATF 16949, ensuring robotics systems meet quality system requirements. Support and comply with Standard Operating Procedure 8000 (Quality Management System).
