  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams—including mechanical design engineers, fellow controls engineers, and the production team—for seamless system integration
  • Conduct simulations and testing to validate control algorithms, mechanical design, manipulator suitability, and optimise performance to meet cycle time commitments
  • Troubleshoot and resolve control system issues remotely or on-site (including during on-call or night shift periods when scheduled)
  • Stay current with advancements in robotics controls across multiple vendor platforms, identifying opportunities for innovation and improvement
  • Document design processes, specifications, and prepare technical reports
Requirements
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
  • Strong background in robotics controls, with demonstrated experience developing control algorithms for robotic systems
  • Experience programming ABB robots is essential
  • Familiarity with robotic hardware platforms, PLC programming (Rockwell, Siemens, Omron, etc.), sensors, and actuators
  • Solid understanding of control theory (PID control, state-space control, adaptive control)
  • Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to troubleshoot complex control issues under time pressure
  • Strong communication skills to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams
  • Experience with industrial automation, machine vision, or motion planning is desirable

What's on Offer
