Job Description

Position Overview Our client, a leader in the plastic injection molding industry, is seeking a high-level Automation Technician with a specialization in robotics. This role is critical for the design, integration, and optimization of complex robotic systems used in "Total Solutions Molding". The ideal candidate is a technical expert capable of taking a robotic cell from concept and component specification to full programming and mechanical implementation.

• Robotic Programming: Perform advanced programming and troubleshooting for a diverse fleet of robots, including Engel, Yushin, Ranger, Fanuc, and ABB.
• Cell Design: Design and build new automation cells, specifically focusing on the integration of robotic arms with molding machinery.
• End-of-Arm Tooling: Design and fabricate custom EOATs (End of Arm Tooling) tailored for specific production parts.
• System Integration: Program and troubleshoot Servo drive controls, motors, and Avalon Vision systems used for robotic guidance and part inspection.
• Control Logic: Manage PLC controls (Rockwell, Siemens, etc.) and sensor integration (relay logic, TTL) to ensure seamless communication between robots and peripheral equipment.
• Lifecycle Management: Purchase and maintain spare parts for robotic units and perform specialized preventative maintenance to minimize downtime.

Required Qualifications

• Demonstrated expertise in programming multi-axis robots (Engel, Fanuc, or ABB preferred).
• Strong mechanical assembly and fabrication skills for building robotic cells and tooling.
• Proficiency in pneumatic systems, valves, and controls as they relate to robotic movement.
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision to diagnose complex robotic failures.

Preferred Qualifications

• Associate's Degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Industrial Engineering, or equivalent professional experience.
• Direct experience with robotics within a plastics/injection molding environment.
• Experience specifying and purchasing high-tech components for new automation builds.
