Job description

Step into a day working side-by-side with a cobot.

Imagine clocking in, greeting your collaborative robot partner, and loading the first set of parts. A few taps on a touchscreen launches the cycle. While the cell runs, you keep an eye on indicators, swap in fresh materials, verify assemblies, and flag anything unusual to a teammate. You finish the shift with a clean, organized workstation and the satisfaction of meeting production goals. If you've built, fixed, or assembled things before—or if game controllers and on-screen menus feel natural—you'll feel right at home here.
