Robot Engineer

• →Shared responsibility with project management for performance to budget and timing during all phases of the project.
• →Understand and strictly follow the standards and specifications for the robotic simulation and/or design of robotic software for the end user.
• →Must be able to read and understand electrical drawings, pneumatic drawings, and mechanical sequences of operations and use them to write software.
• →Understand safety concepts and safety requirements to ensure proper implementation during the robotic simulation and/or software generation.
• →Write Robotic Software Programs for different types of equipment/machinery both from scratch and using customer software standards and templates.
• →Responsible for the completeness of software design prior to power on, ensuring reduced debug project phases.
• →Support manufacturing and service at the debug and installation startup phase.
• →Utilize critical thinking skills to define problems, collect data, and formulate effective solutions to issues in a timely fashion.
• →Train/aid the end-user on the equipment operation as well as hardware and software architecture
• →Aid the customer and improve customer satisfaction through routine and regular communication.
• →Act as project manager on smaller projects and report to management on progress, timing, and critical issues.
• →Travel for extended periods to end-user facilities to startup, debug or support machinery.
• →Ensure the accuracy of all documentation by recording all field changes and delivering mark-ups to engineering so they are included in the final documentation provided to the customer.
