Industrial Robotics Engineer (Mexico City) — Remote

Rex.zone is hiring for industrial robotics jobs in Mexico City focused on building and supporting real-world automation systems. In this remote, full-time role, you will design, program, and support industrial robotic systems for automated production cells, integrating PLCs, safety systems, EOAT, and machine vision using disciplined documentation and collaboration.

Key Responsibilities

• Program and optimize industrial robots for pick-and-place, palletizing, welding, assembly, and material handling applications.
• Integrate robots with PLCs, HMI/SCADA, sensors, conveyors, and machine vision (camera calibration, pose estimation, inspection triggers).
• Develop and maintain safety architectures (safety I/O, interlocks, safe zones, E-stops) aligned with plant standards.
• Support commissioning and production ramp: cycle-time tuning, repeatability verification, error-proofing, and recovery routines.
• Create and enforce engineering documentation: wiring diagrams, IO lists, robot backups, change logs, and SOPs.
• Troubleshoot field issues using logs, alarms, and root-cause analysis; propose countermeasures and preventive improvements.
• Collaborate cross-functionally on EOAT design constraints, tolerances, and poka-yoke strategies.
• Implement basic telemetry/diagnostics for predictive maintenance (fault trends, motor load, downtime categorization).
  
  

Required Qualifications

• Mid-Senior experience delivering industrial robotics or automation projects in manufacturing environments.
• Hands-on robot programming experience with platforms such as FANUC, ABB, KUKA, or Yaskawa (or equivalent).
• Strong understanding of PLC integration, industrial networking, and I/O (e.g., EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, discrete I/O).
• Experience with industrial safety concepts and safety components (safety relays/PLCs, light curtains, door interlocks).
• Ability to troubleshoot across mechanical, electrical, and software boundaries.
• Comfort working remotely with disciplined documentation and change control.
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Offline programming/simulation (e.g., RoboGuide, RobotStudio, Process Simulate).
• Machine vision integration for guidance and inspection (lighting, calibration, trigger design).
• EOAT exposure (grippers, vacuum, tool changers) and basic force/torque considerations.
• Familiarity with ROS/ROS2 for prototyping or advanced integrations.
  
  

Compensation

Competitive hourly rate: $30–$50/hr (USD).

Pay period: HOURLY.
