Job Purpose:Robot engineer: New robot and replacement setup.
Standard Operating Procedures & Documentation for preventive management
Responsibilities include the following (other duties may be assigned as needed):
11) Robot Commissioning & Deployment (New Equipment Setup)- Lead the installation, commissioning, and teaching of industrial and collaborative robots for new production lines.
- Develop and optimize robot programs (path programming, logic integration, and cycle time optimization) to meet production requirements.
- Perform system integration testing between robots and peripheral equipment, including PLCs, vision systems, and end-effectors.
- Conduct safety risk assessments and validate robot safety functions (e.g., safety zones, collision detection) prior to production handover.
- Coordinate with automation and process teams to ensure seamless layout integration and joint tracking performance.
2) Equipment Retrofit, Legacy Replacement & Evaluation- Evaluate and analyze aging robot systems to determine the feasibility of overhaul, upgrade, or full replacement.
- Develop technical specifications and scope of work for replacing legacy robot models with newer technology.
- Review vendor technical proposals and system layouts for new robot implementations to ensure compatibility with existing infrastructure.
- Manage the execution of robot migration projects, minimizing production downtime during changeovers.
- Assess ROI and justification for equipment upgrades based on cycle time improvements, energy efficiency, and maintenance cost reduction
3) Robot Preventive Maintenance & Issue Resolution- Establish and execute preventive/predictive maintenance schedules for all operational robots (e.g., backup management, grease analysis, mechanical calibration).
- Troubleshoot and resolve complex robot failures during mass production, focusing on minimizing Mean Time to Repair (MTTR).
- Perform root cause analysis (RCA) on recurring mechanical, electrical, or software issues in robotic systems.
- Optimize robot paths and parameters on live lines to improve repeatability, reduce component wear, and prevent collisions.
- Manage critical spare parts inventory for robot controllers, manipulators, and teaching pendants to ensure high availability.
4) Standard Operating Procedures & Documentation (Common Responsibilities)- Develop and standardize robot programming guidelines, teaching methods, and safety protocols for the plant.
- Create comprehensive documentation, including troubleshooting guides, maintenance manuals, and backup history logs.
- Maintain software and firmware version control across all robotic assets to ensure system security and stability.
- Conduct technical training and knowledge transfer for production operators and maintenance technicians.
- Document lessons learned from breakdowns and equipment setups to continuously improve standard robot specifications.
