Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you've come to the right place!
E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.
We're intentional, we're unapologetically curious and we're 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.
The E-Space Manufacturing team builds the world's most advanced aerospace products at high rate and high precision.
As a Senior Robotics Engineer, you'll program and integrate the ABB and Fanuc robots that assemble our satellites. You'll own robotic cells end-to-end - from path planning and EOAT integration to commissioning and cycle-time optimization - and serve as the dedicated robotics owner the team needs as we scale. This is a hands-on role for someone who has deployed industrial robots in production and wants to build a robotics function from a strong foundation. This position reports to the Manufacturing Engineering leadership team.
What you'll be doing:
- Program, simulate, and deploy ABB and Fanuc robots for assembly, pick-and-place, and material-handling applications.
- Own robotic cells from concept through commissioning, including path planning, EOAT integration, and safety.
- Optimize cycle time, reliability, and throughput of production robotic cells.
- Integrate robots with Beckhoff controls, vision systems, sensors, and end-of-arm tooling.
- Develop and maintain robot programs, frames, and tooling calibrations.
- Lead on-floor commissioning, troubleshooting, and handover of production cells.
- Mentor junior robotics engineers and set programming standards.
What you will bring to this role:
- 5+ years programming and integrating industrial robots in production - ABB and/or Fanuc.
- Hands-on experience with robot cell design, EOAT integration, and commissioning.
- Familiarity with machine vision, sensors, pneumatics, and safety systems.
- Understanding of how robotics integrate with PLC/motion control (Beckhoff a plus).
- Strong troubleshooting skills on live production equipment.
- BS in Robotics, Mechanical, Electrical, or Mechatronics Engineering, or equivalent.
Extra points for the following:
- Both ABB and Fanuc programming experience.
- Offline programming / simulation (RobotStudio, Roboguide).
- Machine-vision and force-control integration.
- Aerospace, PV/solar, or thin-film manufacturing background.
Closing
This is a full time, exempt position, based out of our Arlington, TX facility.
We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used - so we're looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience. If that's your experience, then we'll be immediately wow-ed.
E-Space is not currently able to provide employment sponsorship for candidates who do not hold work authorization for the location of this role.
