Role overview
Job description
Execute commissioning procedures on assembled robots per defined work instructions, including device configuration, calibration, and functional validation
Load production software and customer-specific configurations onto units per established procedures
Carry out Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) procedures and record results accurately
Flag test failures, calibration issues, or unexpected results with enough detail for senior engineers to act on
Keep test and commissioning records complete, accurate, and current
Learn and follow safety protocols, especially around electrical systems, robotic motion, and emergency stop validation
Work alongside senior Test Engineers and Manufacturing Engineering to understand the “why” behind each test step, not just the “how”
What You'll Bring
Bachelor’s or Associate’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a related field — or equivalent hands-on experience
Comfortable working with test equipment, basic electrical measurement tools, and following detailed technical procedures
Strong attention to detail — this role is as much about catching when something doesn’t look right as it is about executing steps correctly
Clear and methodical written and verbal communication, especially for documenting test results and escalating issues
Foundational knowledge of command-line interfaces (CLI) and text editors
Willingness to learn the breadth of robotics-specific systems (networking, firmware, pneumatics) on the job — prior robotics experience is a plus, not a requirement
Aptitude for hands-on technical work with complex electro-mechanical systems
Inclination towards proactive process improvements
Frequent standing, walking, bending, and kneeling required; occasional lifting of equipment weighing up to 40 pounds
Comfortable in a fast-paced, hands-on manufacturing environment
Scripting experience to automate commissioning steps preferred
