Automation Expert

We are seeking an experienced Robotics Engineer to lead and execute robotics projects focused on material logistics, assembly operations, testing, and quality control within switchgear and transformer manufacturing.

The ideal candidate will design, evaluate, and recommend robotic-based automation solutions tailored to the specific needs of switchgear and transformer production. This includes identifying processes that could benefit from automation, such as assembly, testing, or material handling.

The selected candidate will configure and optimize robotic systems for applications such as material handling grippers, tool changers, assembly fixtures, testing devices, and inspection tools. Select suitable robot models based on payload requirements, process needs, and cycle time objectives.

Key responsibilities include performing hands-on integration of robotic systems, end-of-arm tools (EOATs), and other machines to enhance automation and streamline processes. Collaborate with engineering and manufacturing teams to assess requirements and design automation tools tailored to specific manufacturing processes.

Lead the integration of robotic solutions into the manufacturing process, working closely with the engineering, production, and IT teams to ensure seamless deployment. Continuously monitor and optimize the performance of robotic systems, ensuring they meet key performance indicators (KPIs) such as quality, speed, and cost-efficiency.

Provide training and technical support to factory personnel on robotic systems and automation tools, ensuring smooth adoption and operation. Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in robotic technology, automation systems, and manufacturing trends to propose and implement cutting-edge solutions.

Evaluate and recommend industry-standard protocols and safety procedures to ensure compliance with regulations and maintain a safe working environment.

To be considered for this position, candidates must have:

• A bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, automation engineering, robotics, or a related field; a master's degree is a plus.
• Minimum 3-4 years of hands-on experience in switchgear and transformer manufacturing, with at least 10 years in robotics or automation integration within a manufacturing environment.
• Basic knowledge of programming skills such as XML, C#, J Script, VBA, Python, etc.
• Experience with industrial and collaborative robots such as FANUC or equivalent, proven track record of deploying and optimizing robotic systems in industrial settings.
• Experience with automation controls systems design & assembly, such as PLC/HMI interfaces.
• Skilled in robotic simulation using tools such as Visual Components, Roboguide, RoboDK, or equivalent.
• Good knowledge of manufacturing processes for switchgears and transformers, including assembly, testing, and quality control.
• Proven expertise in evaluating, implementing, and optimizing robotic automation solutions, preferably within electrical manufacturing industries.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to design customized automation solutions for complex manufacturing processes.
• Excellent communication and project management skills, with the ability to work effectively across multiple teams and departments.
• Certifications in industrial robotics programming (e.g., FANUC, ABB, KUKA, or similar) are a plus.

This role offers a unique opportunity to work with a diverse team of professionals and contribute to the development of cutting-edge automation solutions. The successful candidate will enjoy a competitive salary and benefits package, as well as opportunities for professional growth and development.

Please note that occasional travel (up to 10% or more) may be required to access manufacturing factories and collaborate with international teams.
