Automation Systems Engineering

Robot Programming & System Integration

Independently program and validate robot systems including motion paths, I/O logic, tool offsets, and safety zones for moderate-complexity projects Integrate robot controllers with PLCs, HMIs, vision systems, and peripheral equipment Perform and document cycle time studies and timing analyses against customer throughput requirements Apply and help enforce Company programming standards and code structure best practices

Simulation & Pre-Build Engineering

Conduct reach studies and offline simulation using ABB RobotStudio, Fanuc ROBOGUIDE, or equivalent tools Interpret simulation results to validate cell layouts, reach limitations, and tooling geometry Collaborate with mechanical and electrical engineering to incorporate simulation findings into design decisions

Commissioning, FAT & SAT

Lead robotic commissioning activities for assigned systems during build, debug, and runoff Serve as a robotic technical point of contact during FAT/SAT, with senior engineer support on complex issues Present system performance and demonstrate cycle time compliance to customers Deliver end-user training to customer operators and maintenance personnel

Troubleshooting & Field Service Support

Perform on-site and remote fault diagnosis, program recovery, and root cause analysis for standard robot issues Support field service technicians through structured remote guidance Contribute to troubleshooting guides and preventive maintenance checklists

Mentorship & Development

Mentor Automation Engineer I staff through coaching and code review on assigned projects Participate in project kickoff and technical review meetings to assess robotic scope and risk
