Job description

Field Commissioning Engineer - Warehouse Robotics & Automation

Role SummaryAs a Field Commissioning Engineer, you’ll be the boots on the ground bringing Exotec’s robotics and automation systems to life at our client warehouse locations. It's a high-travel position (our engineers are on-site generally 3 weeks out of each month), but an ideal role for individuals who love solving real engineering challenges in real-world environments.Working hands‑on with robotics, hardware, software, programming tools, and third‑party industrial equipment, you'll gain broad technical experience quickly. Unlike other "engineering" roles in the industry, this is a true engineering position where you help design and refine test plans—not just execute them. The work is varied, collaborative, and directly tied to the success of each system launch.

Responsibilities

• Manage the integration of Exotec products and third‑party systems on customer warehouse, distribution, and fulfillment sites
• Actively participate in the commissioning process to ensure system functionality and reliability
• Plan, coordinate, and execute system validation tests—including defining and refining test plans
• Measure, improve, and maintain the reliability of the full solution throughout deployment phases
• Coordinate and implement software configurations and improvements to deployed systems
• Troubleshoot across software, mechanical, electrical, and networking layers
• Communicate directly with customers to assess and fulfill their needs and requirements
• Provide clear updates and documentation through Exotec’s internal tools, including coordination with the Atlanta‑based team
• Support on‑site interactions with clients, including de‑escalating challenging or time‑sensitive situations
• Inform operational teams on project progress and risks

We strongly encourage applications from candidates of all genders to help us build a truly inclusive environment. If you don’t meet every requirement listed below, don’t worry—your skills and experiences may still make you a great fit

Requirements

• At least 1 year of commissioning robotic systems and/or equipment, ideally in industrial automation, material handling, warehousing, or logistics
• Demonstrated experience with frequent travel (e.g., field service, commissioning, consulting, construction, or similar roles)
• BS degree in mechatronics, robotics, mechanical, or electrical engineering (or related field)
• Broad working knowledge across software, mechanical, and electrical engineering, with the ability to perform both hands‑on troubleshooting and software configuration
• Clear, professional communication skills, including the ability to manage on‑site client interactions and de‑escalate as needed
• Ability to work within internal systems and tools for documentation, notes, coordination, collaborate with off‑site team members, etc.
• Comfort and openness with regular travel (up to 100% of working hours)
• Ability to meet the physical demands of the job:
• Use and manipulation of standard hand tools
• Occasional lifting up to 50 lbs
• Working from heights of up to 50 ft
• Use and operation of lifts with a manufacturer‑rated capacity of 250 lbs, including tools and equipment (approximately 30 lbs)
• Stooping, kneeling, crouching or crawling to access and repair equipment at ground level
• Working on overhead equipment, including extended reaching and manual dexterity

Preferred Skills & Competencies

• Working knowledge of AutoCAD (reading and minor edits)
• Familiarity with Python, Node‑RED, or Linux
• Experience with Git/GitHub
• Prior work on complex automation or robotics systems
• Experience contributing to the creation of test plans or validation procedures

Benefits

• Competitive compensation package, inclusive of salary and annual bonus
• Comprehensive medical, dental and vision coverage
• Generous vacation and time off policy
• 401(k) with company match up to 5%
• Eligibility to participate in Employee Share Program after 1 year of employment
• Continuous opportunities for training and development within a growing, international company
• Regular company-hosted teambuilding, training and social events
