  Learn and execute FANUC robot programming, iRVision integration, Robo Guide simulation, PLC/HMI troubleshooting, and hands-on commissioning for custom industrial automation systems.
• Strict Requirements & Authorization:
  Requires foundational technical education or early-career hands-on robotics/programming experience (ideal for recent grads with drive toward AI and modern tech), US work authorization, and a local commute within 45 minutes of Oak Creek, WI.

If you are an ambitious junior-level engineer with a passion for robotics, AI, and cutting-edge automation technology, this is your ideal career springboard. Operating as a premier custom robotic system integrator in the Oak Creek area, our client designs and builds 5-8 unique, non-repetitive custom automation projects every year. Unlike massive corporations where you get stuck maintaining a single legacy cell, you will work across diverse systems, expanding your skill set daily.

Leadership is deeply committed to mentoring junior engineering talent who have a genuine drive toward technology and robotics. Backed by a stable, debt-free environment with zero history of layoffs, you will partner directly with senior engineering leadership, gaining exposure to PLC programming, HMI design, Robo Guide simulation, and advanced vision systems in an environment that values continuous professional growth.

• Learn & Execute Robot Programming:
  Support the programming, simulation, and optimization of FANUC industrial robots utilizing Robo Guide and hands-on teach pendants.
• Integrate Vision & Controls:
  Assist in setting up FANUC iRVision systems, configuring PLC I/O, and troubleshooting electrical/mechanical interfaces.
• Support System Commissioning:
  Participate in shop-floor assembly, system testing, and occasional domestic field installations/service calls (traveling roughly 25-30% as needed).
• Collaborate with Engineering Leaders:
  Work side-by-side with senior mechanical, electrical, and controls engineers on custom robotic cells, soaking up mentorship and advanced design principles.
• Engage with Emerging Tech:
  Explore and apply modern technical solutions, including AI-driven automation trends, vision tools, and advanced simulation software.

• Technical Foundation:
  Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Automation, or equivalent practical hands-on experience working with industrial robotic systems.
• FANUC & Automation Aptitude:
  Foundational exposure to or strong academic focus on FANUC robotics, programming logic, or automated cell integration.
