  • Field troubleshooting - Diagnose and resolve mechanical, electrical, and controls issues on robotic systems. Travel to client sites in North America (and occasionally internationally) on short notice.
  • Training and documentation - Train client maintenance and operations teams on safe operation, troubleshooting, and PM. Document configurations, parameters, backups, and recovery procedures.

Requirements:
  • 5+ years of hands-on robotics field service or integration experience
  • Programming and troubleshooting on FANUC, ABB, Yaskawa, KUKA, or Universal Robots
  • Strong electrical, pneumatic, and mechanical diagnostic skills
  • Comfort working independently at customer sites
  • Willingness to travel 50-80%
  • Associate's or Bachelor's degree in a technical field, or equivalent military / trade experience
  • OEM-issued robotics certifications, vision system integration (Cognex, Keyence), and functional safety familiarity preferred
