Robotics Technicians at the Angola NVH facility keep robotic welding, material-handling, and assembly cells safe, repeatable, and productive. This hands-on role combines robot programming and recovery with troubleshooting of tooling, PLC interfaces, machine safety, welding equipment, vision, sensors, motion, and cell sequencing. You will work with Maintenance, Engineering, Quality, and Production on breakdowns, chronic losses, launches, and continuous improvement.

Candidates are not expected to have experience with every platform. Strong robot fundamentals, safe teach-mode practices, and the ability to troubleshoot the entire cell matter more than a checklist of brand names.

• FANUC and Yaskawa/Motoman industrial robots.
• Servo tooling and positioners, end-of-arm tooling, grippers, fixtures, and pneumatic or hydraulic devices.
• Controls & HMI: Allen-Bradley Control Logix, Compact Logix, SLC and PLC-5 systems;
  Panel View and other HMIs.
• Motors & motion: VFDs, servo drives, motors, encoders, sensors, machine I/O, remote I/O, and industrial Ethernet.
• MIG and resistance welding systems, weld guns and torches, wire-feed equipment, and related interfaces.
• Keyence vision, laser measurement, and automated inspection systems.
• Conveyors, dial tables, walking-beam transfers, and automated material-handling or assembly equipment.
• Office environment: artificial lighting, computers, telephones, desks, and temperature-controlled conditions.
• Manufacturing environment: machine and equipment noise, welding exhaust, metal-working fluid mist, non-controlled temperatures, moving equipment, and required use of PPE.

• Provide technical support for robotic welding, material-handling, machine-tending, and automated assembly cells with safety, quality, and uptime as priorities.
• Provide shift wide troubleshooting of ladder logic.
• Assist in management of PLC related faults and diagnosis.
• Provide work around and improvement insight for any logix related downtime identified during your shift.
• Diagnose robot alarms and cell faults, safely recover equipment, and determine the root cause of repeated stops, collisions, lost positions, or sequence problems.
• Teach and modify robot positions, paths, speeds, zones, frames, tool-center-point data, registers, I/O logic, and routines in accordance with plant change-control practices.
• Maintain robot backups and support mastering, calibration, payload/tooling setup, battery replacement, and recovery after controller or mechanical work.
• Troubleshoot robot-to-PLC handshakes, networked or discrete I/O, industrial Ethernet, interlocks, and sequence logic with maintenance and controls personnel.
• Support robot and cell safety systems, including…
