Key responsibilities

  • Execute ground-up cell setups, coordinate calibrations, and I/O communication network configurations on robotic platforms.

  • Program robot cell architecture to ensure seamless integration and coordination with master PLC controllers and equipment.

  • Integrate, configure, and program industrial vision hardware and software platforms for part guidance, inspection, and handling.


Job description

Senior Automation & Robotics Integration Specialist (Vision Systems & PLCs)

  • COMPENSATION: $40.00 to $50.00/Hour ($83,200 โ€“ $104,000 baseline annual target scaling with technical depth) + Premium Overtime + Full Benefits Package
  • WORK SCHEDULE: 1st Shift | High autonomy on ground-up custom automated cell builds
  • EDUCATION: 2-Year or 4-Year Engineering Degree required (Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics, or Software)
  • EXPERIENCE: 4 to 6 years of dedicated, hands-on experience executing robotic, PLC, and vision system integration tasks for custom industrial equipment
  • HARDWARE DEPTH: Current proficiency with Fanuc, Yaskawa, or ABB robotics platforms alongside master PLC troubleshooting capabilities
  • VISION SYSTEMS: Verifiable experience troubleshooting, positioning, and programming advanced industrial vision hardware/software platforms
  • TRAVEL PROFILE: 30% to 40% domestic and international travel for high-impact system commissioning and client site installations
  • REQUIREMENTS: Valid Driverโ€™s License and Passport capability; residing within a 45-minute daily commute of the Greater Milwaukee area (North Milwaukee / Brown Deer vicinity)

If you are an experienced robotics specialist looking to step away from repetitive field service or line maintenance and own high-complexity, ground-up custom automation projects, this senior-level seat is built for you. The employer is a premier, privately held automation leader with a century-long legacy of engineering excellence, designing complex turnkey automated systems deployed globally across automotive, consumer goods, and industrial sectors.

Operating with a supportive, non-bureaucratic culture that deeply respects engineering craftsmanship, this organization gives you total project ownership. You will lead robotic builds from initial cell design kickoff and physical in-house build, through shop-floor debug, and ultimately to high-impact commissioning on client factory floors worldwide.

What You Will Be Doing (Daily Responsibilities)
  • Initialize Robotic Platforms: Execute ground-up cell setups, coordinate calibrations, and I/O communication network configurations on Fanuc, ABB, or Yaskawa robotics.
  • Design Control Logic & Architecture: Program robot cell architecture to ensure seamless handshaking and logic coordination with master PLC controllers and standalone equipment.
  • Deploy Industrial Vision Systems: Integrate, configure, and program advanced industrial vision hardware and software platforms for precise part guidance, inspection, and handling.
  • Lead In-House Assembly & Debug: Partner with project engineering teams through full shop-floor assembly, control wiring verification, and end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) integration.
  • Execute Field Commissioning: Travel 30โ€“40% to oversee on-site deployment, mechanical/electrical startup, and final commissioning with global manufacturing partners.
  • Support Applications Engineering: Provide technical layout insights, cycle-time analyses, and feasibility data for prospective customer designs and quotes.
  • Provide Technical Leadership & Mentorship: Guide in-house assembly personnel and junior technicians to optimize build workflows and adhere to client specifications.
What We Are Looking For (Requirements & Qualifications)
  • Education: 2-Year or 4-Year Degree in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics, or Software Engineering).
  • 4 to 6 years of dedicated industrial robotics & PLC integration experience on custom manufacturing machinery.
  • Robotics & Controls Depth: Hands-on mastery of Fanuc, Yaskawa, or ABB robot platforms combined with advanced PLC troubleshooting skills.
  • Vision & Digital Tools: Hands-on proficiency with industrial vision systems, offline simulation tools, and CAD/SolidWorks software.
  • Multidisciplinary Troubleshooting: Expert ability to diagnose and debug complex automated machinery across robotic, electrical, fluid power, and mechanical domains.
  • Travel Willingness: Ability to travel 30% to 40% domestically and internationally (valid Driver's License and active Passport capability required).
  • Employment Reliability: A dependable, progressive career history demonstrating strong technical tenure and long-term commitment.
  • Local Proximity: Residing within a 45-minute commuting radius of the Greater Milwaukee, WI area.
