Full Job Description
We9re looking for a Robotics Engineer to lead the implementation and R6D of robotics systems across our production floor. You9ll 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 You9ll 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 We9re Looking For

  • 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


$160,000 - $180,000 a year

Final compensation is based on your experience, skills, and what you bring to the table.
  • Full Benefits Package: Medical, dental, and vision coverage, short- and long-term disability insurance, company-paid life insurance
  • Equity Option Grants
  • 401k plan
  • Paid Time Off: Unlimited PTO + 9 Federal Holidays
