Industrial Robotics Engineer

Industrial Robotics Engineer (Remote, Full Time)

Rex.zone is hiring mid-senior Industrial Robotics Engineers to design, program, integrate, and commission industrial robot systems supporting smart-factory automation across the US. Work is primarily remote for programming support, documentation, simulation/offline programming, troubleshooting, and coordination; occasional on-site commissioning may be required per assignment.

What You Will Do

• Create, debug, and optimize robot programs, paths, and motion profiles to meet takt time, OEE, and quality targets
• Commission robotic cells and validate IO mapping, PLC handshakes, safety interlocks, and fault recovery sequences
• Configure vision-guided applications (calibration, localization) for pick-and-place, inspection, and machine tending
• Specify and validate EOAT (payloads, pneumatic/electric constraints) and support cell bring-up
• Perform cycle-time studies, throughput improvements, and production support to improve uptime
• Develop commissioning checklists, runbooks, operator documentation, and acceptance test evidence (FAT/SAT)
• Conduct remote troubleshooting and root-cause analysis across hardware, controls, and integration boundaries
  
  

Workflows & Technologies

• Robot programming fundamentals: frames, TCP setup, blending, singularity avoidance, collision checks
• Controls/integration: PLC integration, IO troubleshooting, industrial Ethernet/fieldbus basics, safety PLC and E-stops
• Safety and validation: risk assessment, PFMEA, lockout/tagout, safety validation practices
• Production processes: change control, versioning, commissioning documentation, and acceptance testing
  
  

Required Qualifications

• Mid-senior experience delivering industrial robot integrations and/or commissioning
• Strong robot programming and cell bring-up skills with measurable outcomes (downtime reduction, throughput improvements)
• Understanding of PLC interfaces, IO mapping, and industrial networking basics
• Working knowledge of industrial safety standards and risk assessment practices
• Ability to document procedures, test plans, and commissioning results clearly in distributed teams
  
  

Nice to Have

• Offline programming/simulation, digital twin exposure
• Advanced 2D/3D vision, calibration, inspection pipelines
• Experience with welding, palletizing, machine tending, or metrology/inspection cells
• Industry 4.0 telemetry and MES/SCADA touchpoints
  
  

Compensation

• Base pay: $30–$50 per hour (depending on experience and assignment scope)
