The Role
As a Robotics Automation Engineer, you will understand the broader Physical AI lifecycle—encompassing digital twins, simulation, robot training, intelligent orchestration, industrial data, and managed operations—while focusing on designing, programming, integrating, commissioning, and supporting robotic automation systems. Your goal is to turn robotics use cases into safe, reliable, and scalable production solutions in manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, and other operational environments.
Your Responsibilities
You will design, program, configure, and deploy industrial robots, collaborative robots, AMRs/AGVs, and mobile manipulation systems. This includes integrating robots with end effectors, conveyors, safety systems, machine vision, sensors, PLCs, SCADA, MES, WMS, ERP, and site workflows. You'll develop robot programs, control logic, interfaces, and adapters using OEM tools, ROS/ROS 2, Python, C++, or other automation technologies.
Support cell design, reach and cycle-time studies, tooling specifications, layout validation, safety assessments, and equipment selection alongside engineering partners. Use digital twins and simulation for offline programming, layout validation, process testing, virtual commissioning, fleet sizing, and reducing deployment risk. Contribute to robotics intelligence capabilities such as perception, localization, SLAM, motion planning, task planning, sensor fusion, and autonomous decision logic where applicable.
You'll integrate robots and fleets with orchestration platforms for task allocation, traffic management, exception handling, monitoring, and coordinated operations. Conduct integration, safety, hardware-in-the-loop, factory-acceptance, site-acceptance, and production-readiness testing. Troubleshoot software, controls, network, sensor, mechanical, and operational issues during commissioning and post-go-live support. Document robot programs, interfaces, configurations, test evidence, operating procedures, runbooks, and support requirements. Collaborate with Physical AI architects, digital-twin and simulation engineers, OT teams, client operations, and robotics ecosystem partners.
Travel requirements for this role can vary up to 75%.
What You Need
Minimum: 3 years of relevant experience in robotics automation, robot programming, controls integration, AMR/AGV deployment, or autonomous systems. Hands-on experience with at least one industrial robot, cobot, or mobile-robot ecosystem such as FANUC, ABB, KUKA, Universal Robots, or equivalent. A solid understanding of robotics fundamentals including coordinate frames, kinematics, motion, sensors, controls, and safe operation. Experience integrating robotics with automation equipment, software, or operational processes. Ability to read engineering drawings, troubleshoot across hardware and software, and work safely in operational environments. Working awareness of the broader Physical AI lifecycle and how simulation, training, orchestration, industrial data, and operations support robotics deployment.
A bachelor's degree or equivalent: Minimum 12 years of work experience is required. If you have an associate degree, you need a minimum of 6 years of work experience.
Bonus Points If You Have
- Experience with AMR/AGV fleets, fleet-management systems, traffic management, or multi-vendor orchestration.
- Familiarity with ROS/ROS 2, Python, C++, machine vision, SLAM, sensor fusion, motion planning, or autonomy software.
- Skills using NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Isaac ROS, Omniverse, Gazebo, Visual Components, Siemens Tecnomatix, DELMIA, or comparable simulation and virtual-commissioning tools.
- Knowledge in robot learning, synthetic data, reinforcement or imitation learning, simulation-to-real, or robotics intelligence platforms.
- Experience with PLC/SCADA, OPC UA, MQTT, MES, WMS, ERP, cloud/edge, or industrial-network integration.
- Understanding of functional-safety standards, safeguarding, risk assessment, cybersecurity, and production-readiness controls.
- Experience applying robotics in manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, engineering, laboratories, or other asset-intensive environments.
