Robotics Simulation information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Robotics Simulation Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Robotics Simulation Engineer, you need a strong background in robotics, computer science, and mathematics, often supported by a relevant degree such as electrical engineering or mechanical engineering. Familiarity with simulation tools like Gazebo, ROS (Robot Operating System), MATLAB/Simulink, and programming languages such as Python or C++ is essential. Problem-solving, attention to detail, and effective teamwork are key soft skills that help in designing and refining complex simulation models. These abilities are crucial for creating accurate simulations that accelerate development, testing, and deployment of robotic systems.

What are some typical challenges faced when working in robotics simulation, and how can they be addressed?

Professionals in robotics simulation often encounter challenges such as accurately modeling real-world physics, ensuring simulation fidelity, and integrating with hardware or software systems. Addressing these requires a strong understanding of both robotics and simulation tools, as well as effective collaboration with engineers, software developers, and testers. Staying updated with advancements in simulation platforms and maintaining clear documentation are key strategies to overcome these challenges and ensure the simulations provide meaningful insights for development and testing.

What is robotics simulation?

Robotics simulation is the use of computer software to model and test the behavior of robots in a virtual environment. This allows engineers and researchers to design, program, and optimize robots without needing physical prototypes, saving time and resources. Simulations can replicate real-world conditions, enabling the analysis of robot movement, sensor data, and task performance before implementation. Robotics simulation is commonly used in developing autonomous systems, industrial automation, and research applications.

What is the difference between Robotics Simulation vs Robotics Software Engineer?

AspectRobotics SimulationRobotics Software Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's in Robotics, Computer Science, or related; experience with simulation toolsBachelor's or higher in Computer Science, Robotics, or related; programming skills
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, simulation platforms, development teamsSoftware development teams, robotics companies, tech firms
Industry UsageTesting algorithms, virtual prototyping, system validationDeveloping robot control software, algorithms, and integration
Common Search/ComparisonYesYes

Robotics Simulation focuses on creating virtual environments to test and validate robotic systems, while Robotics Software Engineers develop the actual software that controls robots. Both roles often collaborate but serve different stages of robotics development, with simulation emphasizing testing and validation, and software engineering focusing on implementation and coding.

Job description

Who You Are

As ourRobotics Engineer,you will serve as a technical leader supporting integrators and end users throughout the FANUC America Midwest region. Although the role covers a multistate territory-including Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, and Colorado-the primary focus is the Twin Cities area.

You will support the sales, applications, and execution departments of the FAC Midwest Regional Office through product demonstrations, training directives, and other technology-focused activities consistent with the objectives and strategies of the FAC Midwest Regional Office and the General Industrial Division (GID).

How It's Done

  • Direct and support the application of intelligent robots by the Midwest Office executing group, regional ASI network, and regional end users
  • Build and strengthen relationships with regional ASI network and regional end users to improve robot sales through training, technology transfer, and application assistance
  • Provide generalized and customized training to all regional executing groups (FAC, ASI, end users) both in-house and on-site
  • Assist internal and external customers by providing product and system expertise, in areas such as robot hardware and software, machine vision, and system safety
  • Provide direction for the resolution of technical product issues
  • Accompany district managers on sales calls needing a high level of technical support
  • Assist district managers on following up with targeted sales leads
  • Manage internal resources to maintain demo cells at the Midwest Office as well as to complete custom demonstrations to support robot unit and system sales
  • Use SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and FANUC simulation software to assist internal and external customers in the application of robotic automation solutions
  • Support for (mostly) local trade show displays, both MDW and others
  • Travel to our customers and integrators to offer solutions with product applications with flexibility to travel 1-6 days, overnight per month or as business requires

What You Need

  • Bachelors degree in electrical or mechanical engineering or related field, or equivalent relevant experience
  • 5+ years experience in the engineering and integration of industrial robotics automation systems
  • FANUC robot programming and industrial automation experience
  • Experience with FANUC ROBOGUIDE software suite (e.g., HandlingPRO, PalletPRO, OlpcPRO)
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD and 2D industry-standard drawing practices
  • Experience with SolidWorks and 3D modeling standards
  • Must have or be able to obtain a valid driver's license
  • Must be able to drive throughout a regional area for business

What Would Be Even Better

  • Familiarity with FANUC robot machine vision systems, specifically iRVision and its application in robotic processes
  • Background in arc welding, spot welding, CNC machining, or paint processes

It's Your Move

At FANUC America, we are driven by a deep respect for our people and a commitment to building a workplace dedicated to integrity and excellence. We believe that great careers are built through opportunity, growth, and collaboration-and we're excited to invite talented individuals like you to explore what's possible with us.
