Lead and develop project and commissioning engineers, coordinating cross-functional delivery across Mechanical, Electrical, Controls, and Automation teams and establishing clear interfaces and ownership boundaries with Software and ML teams
Drive end-to-end integration from early design through FAT, SAT, commissioning, and customer acceptance
Work closely with Project Management to identify technical risks, protect project schedules, and ensure engineering milestones are met from pre-sales handoff through final deployment
Understand and assess the impact, priority, and feasibility of proposed improvements or changes
Lead system-level troubleshooting across mechanical, electrical, controls, and software boundaries, identifying the appropriate owner and driving resolution to closure
Analyze robot and system performance data (dashboards, logs, spreadsheets, basic SQL/analytics tools)
Act as a technical bridge between engineering teams, project management, and customer-facing roles
Support customer site visits and deployments as needed (up to ~40% peak travel)

What skills we’d like you to have:

7+ years of experience in robotics, industrial automation, systems engineering, project engineering, or related technical fields
Proven experience delivering end-to-end robotic or automation projects through commissioning and customer acceptance
