Job Description

Manufacturing Robotics Jobs Córdoba

In this remote, full-time role, you will deploy and improve industrial automation systems—robot arms, PLC-controlled cells, machine vision inspection, and safety interlocks—to increase throughput, reduce defects, and stabilize production. You will translate factory requirements into robust robot/PLC programs, run simulation and commissioning workflows, and troubleshoot production issues collaboratively with on-site technicians.

Key Responsibilities

Define automation requirements, cell specifications, and acceptance criteria
Develop robot programs, tool frames, and trajectories to improve cycle time
Integrate PLC logic, safety I/O, guarding interlocks, and sensor feedback loops
Configure machine vision inspection and support calibration fundamentals
Perform simulation, dry-runs, FAT/SAT, commissioning, and validation
Create SOPs, maintenance guides, and troubleshooting playbooks for change control
Analyze downtime/scrap data and drive continuous improvement initiatives
Coordinate with vendors on end effector design, safety validation, and guarding
Implement version control, backups, and change tracking for robot and PLC code
Ensure compliance with safety practices (risk assessment, LOTO, safety-rated devices)

Required Qualifications

Mid-Senior experience in industrial automation or manufacturing robotics
Hands-on robot programming and debugging in production environments
Strong controls engineering fundamentals, motion control, and troubleshooting skills
Experience integrating robots with PLCs, sensors, and safety systems
Ability to produce clear commissioning documentation, test protocols, and change requests

Preferred Qualifications

Machine vision inspection experience (camera/lighting basics and calibration)
Familiarity with ROS or modern robotics software stacks
Lean/OEE improvement and root-cause analysis (5 Whys, fishbone)
Exposure to cobots, force/torque sensing, or adaptive motion
Experience supporting multi-site deployments and standardized templates

FAQ

Is this role remote? Yes—this is explicitly Remote; on-site teams handle physical interventions as needed.
What systems are covered? Pick-and-place, palletizing, welding, machine tending, PLC cells, vision inspection, safety guarding/interlocks, and sensor-driven motion control.
