Robotics Deployment Engineer

Our client is seeking a hands-on, technically versatile Robotics Application Integration (Deployment) Engineer to join their growing team. This is a full-time, on-site role ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of prototyping, deployment, and field testing. The selected candidate will own key systems that bridge development and real-world performance.

This opportunity serves as an elevated pathway for high-performing technical professionals with proven aptitude in mechatronics, system configuration, and cross-functional problem solving.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and maintain our client’s vehicle configuration library, ensuring reliable system operation across a wide range of vehicle makes, models, and trims.

• Validate and enhance configuration performance, incorporating version control and scalable update methods.

• Define and advocate for new features in tools and software to support scalability and fleet consistency.

• Document and lead troubleshooting procedures across robotic subsystems.

• Design and fabricate custom tools, fixtures, and hardware to improve safety, repeatability, and efficiency.

• Assist with mechanical prototyping using 3D printing, welding, machining, and COTS part selection.

• Collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, and software teams to resolve system interface and performance issues.

Lead End-to-End Robotic System Assembly

• Log engineering change orders (ECOs), document redlines, and recommend DFM/DFA improvements.

• Apply best practices in system builds, including cable management, harnessing, and enclosure design.

• Assemble and wire control panels, sensor arrays, and motion subassemblies.

• Support commissioning and go-live activities for deployed robotic systems at customer sites.

Field Diagnostics & Continuous Improvement

• Conduct field diagnostics and collect data to drive iterative improvements.

• Identify critical spare parts, consumables, and recurring failure modes.

• Support on-site pilot tests, customer demonstrations, and system deployments.

• Train and mentor technicians on build procedures, equipment operation, and safety standards.

Required Qualifications

• 8+ years of hands-on experience configuring electro-mechanical systems in real-world environments.

• Strong skills in electrical wiring, mechanical assembly, and root cause troubleshooting.

• Experience using CAD tools (preferably Onshape or SolidWorks) for design and documentation.

• Working knowledge of Linux environments and command-line utilities.

• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate cross-functionally.

• Demonstrated initiative, resourcefulness, and a positive, solutions-oriented mindset.

• Hands-on experience with automotive tire changes and wheel balancing.

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in a STEM discipline (Engineering Technology, IT, Mechatronics, etc.) or equivalent technical experience.

• Experience in manufacturing, automation, or hardware startup environments.

• Veteran or prior service experience, particularly with mechanical or vehicle systems.

• Proficiency in creating test scripts, documenting procedures, and training others.

• Familiarity with motion systems, sensors, and robotic subsystems.
