Job description

Job Description & Skill Requirement:

A strong background in mechanical engineering principles combined with elite-level programming and system analysis capabilities to bridge the gap between physical design and complex control logic.

Core Responsibilities:

• System Design & Analysis: Lead the mechanical design of custom automation cells and end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) ensuring adherence to ASME Y14.5 standards.
• Feasibility & Validation: Conduct rigorous Robot Reachability studies and Payload Analysis (accounting for joint torque, center of gravity, and moment of inertia) to validate system performance before physical execution.
• Simulation experience using Process Simulate / QIROX Robo Plan software is compulsory.
• Safety & Compliance: Perform comprehensive Risk Assessments and Safety Analyses in accordance with ANSI/RIA R15.06 and ISO 10218. Integrate safety PLCs, light curtains, and fail-safe mechanisms to ensure a zero-harm environment.
• Robotics & Programming: Design and program complex robotic work cells. Act as the subject matter expert for high-level robot logic and motion profile optimization.
• Online Robot programming experience on CLOOS robots is must.
• Experience on MIG welding application is must.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or a related engineering field.
  Robotics & Vision: Expert-level experience in programming 6-axis robots. Integrated vision platforms (e.g., Cognex, Keyence) will be added advantage.
  Safety Standards: Demonstrated experience in accordance with ANSI/RIA R15.06 and ISO 10218 and risk assessment methodologies

Education:

Bachelor's degree in engineering.
