Industrial Robotics Integration Engineer (FANUC/PLC)

Is this you?

• Do you speak both robot and PLC—and enjoy getting them to play nicely on a fast‑moving line?
• When downtime hits, are you the first one on the Teach Pendant and the last one leaving after the fix is verified?
• Do you love turning data into lower scrap, faster cycles, and safer cells?

What you’ll do

• Troubleshoot, maintain, and optimize FANUC robots and automated equipment to keep production humming.
• Respond quickly to automation, process, and equipment issues to restore flow.
• Analyze performance and drive actions that reduce downtime, scrap, and inefficiency.
• Adjust and enhance robot programs, tooling, and process parameters for higher productivity and quality.
• Lead root cause problem solving and implement corrective/preventive measures that stick.
• Reinforce preventive maintenance and reliability initiatives for automated assets.
• Document processes, write clear work instructions, and maintain operating standards.
• Partner with Production, Quality, and Maintenance on continuous improvement.
• Support automation upgrades, equipment changes, and capital projects.
• Ensure adherence to safety, quality, and operational standards.

Robotics capabilities

• FANUC programming and support, including Teach Pendant and RoboGuide.
• Motion path tuning, tool setup, user frames, and TCP calibration.
• Cross‑discipline troubleshooting: servo, mechanical, electrical, and controls.
• Commissioning, validation, and startup of new/modified automation.
• Integration with peripherals, vision systems, and production machinery.
• Robotic cell safety and industrial safety systems knowledge.

Controls & systems know‑how

• Practical experience with NI LabVIEW; PLCs such as Allen‑Bradley and Siemens (or equivalent).
• Exposure to machine controllers: Mazatrol (Smooth/Matrix/Nexus), Siemens, Heidenhain, MAPPS, Okuma OSP.
• Comfort with Ethernet/IP, ProfiNet, DeviceNet, and Modbus.
• Can read/interpret electrical schematics, control panel drawings, and automation documents.
• CMM programming familiarity (PCDMIS preferred).
• Understanding of HMIs, sensors, actuators, drives, and industrial networks.
• Hands‑on support of machine controls and automated production equipment.

Manufacturing engineering background

• Knowledge of injection molding, heat treatment, and/or machining (turning, milling).
• Ability to read G‑code and/or program within a CNC environment.
• Experience creating 3D models and 2D prints with commercial CAD tools.
• Continuous improvement and process optimization orientation.
• Root cause analysis using structured methods.
• Lean, Six Sigma, and waste reduction practices.
• Statistical analysis and capability improvement.
• High‑volume production support experience.
• Development of process documentation, standard work, and engineering procedures.
• Equipment utilization, capacity analysis, and workflow optimization.

Credentials

• Bachelor’s in Mechanical, Electrical, Manufacturing, Industrial, Automation, or related engineering field.
• 3+ years in manufacturing with FANUC robot programming, troubleshooting, and automation support.
• FANUC Robot certification strongly preferred.
• PLC training and Lean Six Sigma certifications are a plus.
