Robotics Engineer

The Robotics Engineer is responsible for designing, testing, and building robotic systems that are productive and safe to operate. With minimal supervision, the Robotics Engineer will create and debug computer programs used to run robotics systems, process sensor data, calibrate robots or approve robot designs. In addition, the Robotics Engineer will investigate field failures, identify spare parts requirements, and develop maintenance procedures for customer applications.

Job Duties & Responsibilities:

• Provides technical support and training to Sales representatives and customers on all robotic products;
• Utilizes Solidworks to create drawings and schematics for robotic systems;
• Utilizes robotic system software (HRSIM) to simulate robotic systems and develop applications;
• Builds and tests the robotic system's individual parts or the system as a whole, including articulated arm robots, grippers/end effectors, machine vision, electronic control systems, and application software;
• Performs feasibility analysis and lab testing of customer applications, supports prototype development and troubleshooting;
• Performs research and development for feasibility, design, and operation of robotic mechanisms, components or systems, and next-generation improvements;

Required Education & Experience

• Bachelor’s Degree in Robotics Engineering, Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering with emphasis on mechatronics;
• Minimum 2+ years of work experience in the development and implementation of automation, robotic simulation, electrical design, programming, schematics, control system integration, and repair and analysis of electromechanical applications of automated machinery;
• Understanding of and familiarity with industrial robot configurations and applications, including articulated arm, SCARA, semiconductor wafer handling, welding, and cartesian;
• 2 years of experience using SolidWorks or with an equivalent software;
• Proven work experience with AC & DC motor drives, programming (PLC & robot), servo motion control, robot simulation software, pneumatics, and safety PLCs and controllers.
