Job description

Day in the lifeYou start your day scanning downtime trends, then head to the floor to fine‑tune a FANUC cell’s user frames and TCP. A quick jog on the Teach Pendant, a simulation in RoboGuide, and a tweak to a PLC routine later, production is flowing again. By midday you’re leading a root cause review on scrap drivers, by afternoon you’re updating standard work and validating an automation upgrade for a capital project. Throughout it all, you’re the go‑to partner for Production, Quality, and Maintenance—keeping people safe, equipment reliable, and output on target.How you’ll make an impactDiagnose, maintain, and elevate performance of FANUC robotic cells and automated manufacturing equipment.Unblock production fast by resolving automation, process, and equipment issues in real time.Analyze performance to drive down downtime, scrap, and waste; implement sustainable improvements.Refine robot programs, tooling, and process parameters to boost throughput and consistency.Lead rigorous root cause investigations and lock in corrective and preventive actions.Strengthen preventive maintenance and reliability strategies for critical assets.Create and maintain process documentation, work instructions, and operational standards.Collaborate closely with Production, Quality, and Maintenance on continuous improvement.Contribute to automation upgrades, equipment modifications, and capital implementations.Champion compliance with safety, quality, and operating requirements.Your robotics toolkitHands‑on FANUC programming, troubleshooting, and ongoing support.Teach Pendant programming and RoboGuide for simulation and validation.Motion optimization, tool setup, user frames, and TCP calibration expertise.Deep troubleshooting across servo, mechanical, electrical, and controls domains.Commissioning, validation, and startup support for new and modified systems.Integration with peripherals, vision systems, and upstream/downstream equipment.Knowledge of industrial safety practices and robotic cell safety requirements.Controls & systems fluencyWorking knowledge of NI LabVIEW and PLCs (Allen‑Bradley, Siemens, or similar).Familiarity with machine controllers: Mazatrol (Smooth/Matrix/Nexus), Siemens, Heidenhain, MAPPS, Okuma OSP.Understanding of Ethernet/IP, ProfiNet, DeviceNet, and Modbus communications.Ability to read electrical schematics, control panel drawings, and automation documentation.CMM programming experience (PCDMIS preferred).Knowledge of HMIs, sensors, actuators, drives, and industrial networks.Track record supporting machine controls and automated production assets.Manufacturing engineering strengthsBackground in injection molding, heat treatment, and/or machining (turning and milling).Comfort with G‑code interpretation and/or CNC programming environments.Ability to produce 3D models and 2D drawings with commercial CAD tools.Process optimization and continuous improvement mindset.Root cause analysis using structured problem‑solving methodologies.Lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, and waste‑reduction techniques.Statistical analysis and process capability improvement.High‑volume production support experience.Creation of process documentation, standard work, and engineering procedures.Equipment utilization, capacity analysis, and workflow optimization.QualificationsBachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Manufacturing, Industrial, Automation, or a closely related engineering field.3+ years in manufacturing with hands‑on FANUC robot programming, troubleshooting, and automation support.FANUC Robot certification highly desired.PLC and Lean Six Sigma training/certifications preferred.Machines & technologies you’ll useFANUC Robotic AutomationsNI LabVIEWAllen‑Bradley PLC
