• Create simulation studies using Process Simulate on Teamcenter (Tecnomatix) for robotic work centers
• Program and troubleshoot industrial six-axis robots (KUKA, ABB, FANUC, Yaskawa) to perform assembly and processing tasks
• Generate optimal assembly sequences, perform reach/access studies, and validate interference-free robot motions
• Maintain kinematic libraries and manufacturing data for automated work centers
• Analyze system data to identify process improvements and recommend solutions
• Document automation systems and train team members on equipment operation and maintenance

What they're looking for

• Robotic simulation and off-line programming
• Industrial robot programming (KUKA, ABB, FANUC, Yaskawa)
• CAD proficiency (preferably NX)
• Process Simulate/Teamcenter expertise
• Assembly sequence optimization
• Mechanical engineering principles and metrology
• Troubleshooting and root cause analysis
• Communication and cross-functional collaboration
