You start your morning reviewing customer-provided robot logic and I/O databases, shaping them into robust control configurations and a clean robot network architecture. By midday, you’re iterating on control sequences, validating a new motion routine, and refining an HMI screen so operators have a clear, intuitive interface. In the afternoon, you’re debugging a tricky fault, documenting your findings, and running a hands-on training session to help a customer’s team get the most from their system. Along the way, you design, test, and improve—always with reliability and safety in mind.
- Transform customer robot logic and I/O databases into production-ready robot control configurations and network architectures
- Create and modify controls designs aligned to project goals, addressing issues proactively
- Research, prototype, and refine robot controls techniques and engineering methods
- Verify and validate designs through testing, simulation, and on-equipment checks
- Design graphical user interfaces/HMIs that are clear, responsive, and maintainable
- Configure and program software across PLCs, robots, and supporting devices
- Develop and implement control sequences for automated cells and equipment
- Produce complete system documentation, from schematics to user guides
- Deliver customer training and provide post-deployment support
- Test and debug hardware and software to resolve issues efficiently
- Take on additional responsibilities as assigned by management
