A robotics engineer designs and often builds robots from their plans and ensures the correct processes are in place for the robot to run properly. They work with their clients to determine costs and design specifications, then they design software systems to control robotic systems; build, configure, and test robots; and automate processes to increase production and precision. Once the robotic system is in place, the robotics engineer helps troubleshoot any problems the clients have with the system.
| Aspect | Robotics Engineer | Mechanical Engineer |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | Bachelor's in Robotics, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering or related field; certifications in robotics or automation | Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering; Professional Engineer (PE) license optional |
| Work Environment | Designing, testing, and programming robotic systems in labs or manufacturing settings | Designing and analyzing mechanical systems in various industries, including manufacturing, automotive, aerospace |
| Industry Usage | Robotics companies, automation firms, manufacturing | Manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, product design |
Robotics Engineers focus on designing and developing robotic systems, combining knowledge of mechanical, electrical, and software engineering. Mechanical Engineers have a broader scope, working on mechanical systems across multiple industries. While both roles require engineering degrees, Robotics Engineers often need specialized skills in programming and automation. The choice depends on your interest in robotics and automation versus general mechanical system design.

Position Summary:
We are seeking a highly skilled Robotics Engineer to support the design, programming, integration, and optimization of robotic and automated manufacturing systems for the aerospace and defense industries. The ideal candidate will possess extensive hands-on experience with industrial robot programming, automation controls, and system troubleshooting in high-precision manufacturing environments. This role collaborates closely with Manufacturing Engineering, Production, Quality, and Maintenance teams to enhance automation performance, improve equipment reliability, and increase production efficiency.
Program, troubleshoot, and optimize industrial robotic systems used in aerospace and defense manufacturing operations.
Develop, test, and maintain robotic programs, automation sequences, and control logic to improve productivity, repeatability, and product quality.
Integrate robotic systems with welding cells, machine tending equipment, material handling systems, vision systems, and automated assembly processes.
Diagnose and resolve electrical, controls, PLC, communication, and robotic system issues to minimize downtime and maximize equipment uptime.
Partner with Manufacturing Engineering, Production, Quality, and Maintenance teams to support automated manufacturing processes and continuous improvement initiatives.
Interpret electrical schematics, control drawings, PLC ladder logic, wiring diagrams, and technical documentation.
Assist with equipment commissioning, factory acceptance testing (FAT), site acceptance testing (SAT), system startups, and process validation.
Support New Product Introduction (NPI) activities, including process development, fixture design reviews, tooling integration, and automation planning.
Create and maintain technical documentation such as robotic backups, work instructions, troubleshooting guides, and preventive maintenance procedures.
Participate in root cause analysis and corrective action efforts to improve robotic and automation system performance.
Minimum of 5 years of experience programming and supporting industrial robotic systems in a manufacturing environment.
Strong hands-on experience with FANUC robotic systems, including teach pendant programming, troubleshooting, and system integration.
Solid understanding of industrial automation technologies, including PLCs, HMIs, sensors, servo systems, motion controls, and industrial communication protocols.
Experience with robotic welding, automated assembly, machine tending, and material handling applications.
Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, control diagrams, and technical drawings.
Excellent troubleshooting, analytical, and problem-solving skills in automated manufacturing environments.
Experience in aerospace, defense, automotive, or other highly regulated manufacturing industries is preferred.
Proven ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced production environment.
Bachelor's degree from an ABET-accredited university in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, Software Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Robotics Engineering, or a related field.
FANUC robotics certifications, PLC programming certifications, or other automation-related technical certifications are strongly preferred.
Experience with industrial automation software, machine vision systems, and advanced robotics integration is a plus.
