Robotics Engineer

We're looking for a Robotics Engineer to lead the implementation and R&D of robotics systems across our production floor. You'll take pick-and-place systems from design through bring-up into production, support lamination automation applications, and help push automated trimming work forward alongside our automation team. This role owns the controls side of robotics, how a system actually moves, sees, and reacts, working in close partnership with mechanical engineers who own the nuts and bolts of the assembly itself.

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and bring into production new robotic systems supporting a range of manufacturing processes
• Support lamination automations and related material handling applications
• Collaborate on automated trimming systems currently in development
• Own the controls and robotics logic side of new automation projects, working closely with mechanical engineers who handle assembly design and parts integration
• Work across both hardware/actuator-focused implementations and vision-based systems (camera systems, object detection, and ML applications for robotics)
• Bring industrial robotics best practices to custom, high-mix manufacturing applications
• Integrate robotic systems with PLCs and broader factory control systems

What We're Looking For

• Be awesome! Be the kind of person you want to work with!
• 5+ years of experience with robotic arms (e.g., Fanuc); direct experience with industrial systems required
• Mechanical background (can come from a software angle, but must have mechanical grounding)
• Experience with industrial/factory systems
• Comfortable owning both the design and hands-on bring-up of robotics systems

Bonus Points

• Experience with PLC systems (Beckhoff, Siemens, Allen-Bradley)
• Software experience in C++ or Rust (Rust a plus)
• Manufacturing experience
