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)

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.
