Robotics Engineer, Automation | Day Shift

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Senior Robotics & Automation Engineer, you will be responsible for maintaining, troubleshooting, and optimizing advanced robotic assembly systems used in high-volume electronics manufacturing. You'll work across robotics, PLCs, machine vision, motion control, and electro-mechanical systems to maximize equipment performance, reliability, and uptime.

This is a hands-on engineering role focused on diagnosing complex automation issues, supporting production, and driving continuous improvement. You'll collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to resolve technical challenges, implement system improvements, and ensure our automation platforms operate at peak performance.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

• Troubleshoot and resolve complex issues involving robotics, PLCs, machine vision, motion control, and automated manufacturing equipment.
• Support the performance, reliability, and uptime of multiple robotic assembly systems.
• Perform root cause analysis using production data, system diagnostics, and engineering tools.
• Partner with controls, robotics, software, and mechanical engineering teams to resolve technical issues and implement improvements.
• Optimize equipment performance through continuous improvement initiatives and corrective actions.
• Read and interpret electrical, pneumatic, and mechanical drawings to diagnose equipment failures.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, troubleshooting guides, and engineering reports.
• Train manufacturing personnel on equipment operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting best practices.
• Support new equipment deployments, upgrades, and validation activities as required.
• Communicate technical findings and recurring issues to engineering teams to improve future product performance.

WHAT YOU WILL BRING

• 5+ years of experience supporting industrial automation or robotic manufacturing systems.
• Hands-on experience with industrial robotics, PLCs, machine vision, and automated production equipment.
• Strong troubleshooting skills across electrical, mechanical, controls, and software systems.
• Experience working in high-volume manufacturing environments such as electronics, semiconductor, automotive, or medical device manufacturing.
• Ability to perform root cause analysis and drive technical problem resolution.
• Comfortable working independently while collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Strong technical communication and documentation skills.

IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU HAD

• FANUC robotics, including FANUC DCS.
• Beckhoff PLC programming and troubleshooting.
• Cognex and/or Matrox vision systems.
• Industrial networking and command-line tools.
• Experience with industrial printers such as Zebra and Hermes.
• Understanding of complex machine recipes and production configurations.
• Ability to interpret electrical, pneumatic, and mechanical schematics.
• Basic 3D CAD experience (SolidWorks preferred).
• Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Automation Engineering, or a related field.
