Robotics Engineer

About the Role

We are seeking a Robotics Engineer to lead the design, development, and implementation of advanced robotic manufacturing processes within the Product Development & Automation Group. This role plays a critical part in enabling flexible, repeatable, and high-quality fabrication of military equipment through the integration of industrial robotics and automated systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the design and layout of robotic manufacturing cells, including overall architecture and workflow optimization.
• Design, develop, and implement robotic processes integrating welding systems (MIG, TIG, Laser), coating systems (liquid and powder), and bending and forming systems.
• Select and integrate end-of-arm tooling (EOAT), sensors, and peripheral equipment.
• Develop robotic motion paths, process sequences, and cycle optimization strategies.
• Implement adaptive control strategies to manage variability in materials, joint geometry, and part tolerances.
• Collaborate closely with welding, coating, forming, controls, and quality teams to optimize process performance.
• Ensure compliance with mechanical, dimensional, and durability requirements.
• Support system commissioning, troubleshooting, and validation activities.
• Conduct process trials, repeatability studies, and technical readiness assessments.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and technical documentation.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Proven experience in industrial robotics and automation within a manufacturing environment.
• Hands-on experience integrating robotic welding, coating, and/or forming systems.
• Strong understanding of robotic cell design, EOAT, sensors, and peripheral equipment.
• Experience with robotic programming, motion planning, and process optimization.
• Familiarity with adaptive control, process variability management, and quality requirements.
• Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to collaborate effectively within cross-functional teams.
