- Develop, optimize, and debug robot programs, including motion planning, path planning, safety configurations, and vision-based guidance

- Specify, select, and integrate EOAT, including grippers, sensors, and custom tooling

- Design and manage robot cell layouts, including safety enclosures, work envelopes, and necessary infrastructure

- Implement and verify safety functions (STO, SLS, etc.) in accordance with relevant safety standards

- Develop and execute simulation models to validate robot reach, cycle time, and potential collisions before physical implementation

- Develop and enforce internal standards for robotic system design, programming, safety, and integration

- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including controls engineers, mechanical designers, and production staff, to ensure seamless integration of robotic systems

- Bachelor's degree in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a closely related field

- Strong theoretical and practical understanding of robot kinematics, dynamics, motion control, and advanced path planning techniques

- Proficient in the configuration, tuning, and troubleshooting of robot drives, servo motors, and associated motion control systems

- In-depth knowledge of industrial safety standards (e.g., ISO 10218, RIA R15.06) and the implementation of safety functions like STO, SLS, SS1, etc

- Proven experience in EOAT selection, design, integration, and troubleshooting, including pneumatic, electric, and vacuum grippers.

- Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities

- 6+ years of hands-on experience in robotics and automation within a manufacturing production environment

- Experience designing and deploying robotic dispense systems

- Experience integrating and configuring vision systems for guidance, inspection, and quality control

- Familiarity with CAD packages including Solidworks, NX, CATIA, or AutoCAD

- TUV FS Engineer certification (Functional Safety of Machinery)
