Overview

Job Title: 529227 - Robotics Engineer

Location: Little Rock, AR

Experience Level: 3-5 years

Job Description & Skill Requirement: 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.

Skills: Knowledge in Solid Work 2020, AutoCAD. Online robot programming, problem solving, and good analytical skills.

• System Design & Analysis:
  Lead the mechanical design of custom automation cells and end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) using Solid Works, 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.
• 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 workcells. Act as the subject matter expert for high-level robot logic and motion profile optimization.
• Control Systems:
  Develop robust PLC programs (utilizing both Digital and Analog I/O) and intuitive HMI interfaces.
• Electrical Engineering:
  Create, interpret, and troubleshoot detailed electrical schematics and industrial prints.
• Vision Integration:
  Program and calibrate advanced Machine Vision systems for high‑precision inspection, part location, and robotic guidance.
• Lean Manufacturing:
  Apply Lean principles (5S, Kaizen, Value Stream Mapping) to eliminate waste and maximize throughput in automated lines.

• Mechanical Expertise:
  Expert proficiency in Solid Works.
• Controls & Electrical:
  Advanced knowledge of PLC/HMI programming and electrical schematic design.
• Robotics & Vision:
  Expert-level experience in programming 6-axis robots (e.g., Fanuc, ABB, Kuka) and integrated vision platforms (e.g., Cognex, Keyence).
• Safety Standards:
  Demonstrated experience with ISO 13849 or ANSI B11.19 safety standards and risk assessment methodologies.

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering field.
