Key ResponsibilitiesDesign and develop robotic cells and end-of-arm tooling for palletizing, dispensing, and welding applications.
Program industrial robots (Fanuc, ABB and similar) to implement motion sequences, tool paths, and process logic.
Architect and integrate machine vision systems: camera selection, lensing, lighting, calibration, and image processing workflows.
Develop and maintain vision-to-robot interfaces and ensure robust part detection, pose estimation, and quality inspection.
Collaborate with controls engineers to integrate PLCs, I/O, safety systems, and HMI for seamless cell operation.
Perform system commissioning, on-site installation, and start-up support; troubleshoot and optimize performance in production environments.
Create and maintain technical documentation: design drawings, control schematics, software listings, calibration procedures, and validation reports.
Work with cross-functional teams (manufacturing, quality, supply chain) to define requirements, validate solutions, and implement continuous improvement.
Provide training and handover to maintenance and operations teams; support long-term maintenance and upgrades.
QualificationsBachelor's degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Mechanical/Electrical Engineering or related field; Master's degree preferred.3+ years of hands-on experience designing, programming, and commissioning industrial robotic systems, including palletizing, dispensing, or welding cells.
Proven experience programming Fanuc and ABB robots; familiarity with their controllers, motion programming languages, and tool/robot calibration.
Strong background in machine vision system architecture: camera selection, optics, illumination, calibration, and integration with robot controllers.
Experience with robot programming languages (e.g., Fanuc TP/TP+R, Karel, ABB RAPID) and common automation frameworks; proficiency in scripting languages (Python, C#) a plus.
Knowledge of welding processes (e.g., MIG, TIG, spot welding) and dispensing systems, including process control and fixturing.
Understanding of control systems and industrial communication protocols (Ethernet/IP, Profinet, Modbus) and PLC integration.
Excellent problem-solving skills, ability to troubleshoot on-site, and strong communication skills for cross-functional collaboration.
