Job Description
Job Description
Robotics Controls Integration Engineer (ABB/Beckhoff) A day in this role
You walk onto the manufacturing floor with a laptop and a plan. By mid-morning, you’ve refined ABB RAPID routines to optimize cycle time, synchronized handshakes between the robot cell and a Beckhoff TwinCAT 3 PLC, and verified that EtherCAT devices are healthy and correctly mapped. After lunch, you commission a new sensor array, validate interlocks and fault recovery logic, and drive the cell through production tests. Before the day ends, you’ve documented a change, pushed it to production, and troubleshot an edge case on the floor—all hands-on.
What you'll do- Program, test, and commission ABB industrial robots using RAPID.
- Develop and debug Beckhoff PLC applications in TwinCAT 3 (primarily Structured Text).
- Integrate robots, PLCs, sensors, actuators, and related industrial equipment into robust automation cells.
- Configure, diagnose, and resolve EtherCAT network issues.
- Own full project execution from development through production commissioning on the manufacturing floor.
- Author reliable automation sequences with proper interlocks, fault handling, and recovery logic.
- Read electrical schematics to troubleshoot and repair industrial controls.
This is a hands-on robotics and controls engineering position. If most of your background is in project management or electrical design alone, this role is not the right fit. We’re looking for an engineer eager to work directly with equipment on the floor and see systems through to production.
Must-have experience- ABB robot programming and commissioning.
- Strong ABB RAPID skills.
- Beckhoff controls with TwinCAT 3.
- PLC programming with emphasis on Structured Text.
- EtherCAT configuration and troubleshooting.
- Integration of robots, PLCs, sensors, actuators, and industrial devices.
- On-floor commissioning and troubleshooting.
- Electrical schematic reading and industrial controls troubleshooting.
- Deep understanding of sequencing, interlocks, faults, and recovery.
- End-to-end delivery from development to production commissioning.
- ABB RobotStudio and ABB SafeMove.
- Beckhoff TwinSAFE; Beckhoff servo and motion control.
- CNC machine-tool integration or robotic machine tending.
- Machine vision (Cognex, Keyence, ABB Vision, or similar).
- Industrial communications: OPC UA, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, MQTT.
- General-purpose programming (Python, C#, C++).
- Automated pallet and tool handling, CMMs, and inspection systems.
- Multi-robot or multi-machine cells.
- Digital twin or offline simulation.
- PLC troubleshooting and programming
- Industrial and manufacturing engineering fundamentals
- Industrial robot programming
- Troubleshooting industrial automation equipment
- Machine vision programming
- Electrical/electronic systems
- Industrial electrical systems and experience
- Electrical schematic reading
- Programmable Logic Controllers (Beckhoff)
- Vision systems
- Servo motors
- ABB industrial robots
