You can look forward to these exciting tasks

• Work a 1st shift schedule with a start time of either 4:00 AM or 6:00 AM, providing dedicated robotics and controls support to manufacturing operations.
• Support, troubleshoot, and program industrial robotic and automated manufacturing systems, with a primary focus on ABB robots, Universal Robots (UR), and associated automated production equipment.
• Diagnose robot, controls, programming, and communication issues that require technical support beyond traditional mechanical maintenance troubleshooting.
• Make programming adjustments to robotic applications and automated systems, including mold release, priming, spraying, and other process-specific manufacturing applications.
• Support the integration and operation of robots with surrounding equipment, vision systems, sensors, PLCs, and other connected automation devices to ensure reliable system communication and performance.
• Troubleshoot industrial communication networks and protocols and perform preventive maintenance, system verification, and technical support to improve equipment reliability and uptime.
• Partner closely with Maintenance, Controls, Engineering, and Production teams, serving as an on-floor technical resource for robotic programming, automation, and controls-related issues.

This is what you bring to us

• Hands-on experience, technical coursework, certification, or training in industrial robotics, automation, controls, mechatronics, electrical technology, or a related technical field; a four-year degree is not required.
• Experience working with and programming industrial robots; ABB experience is strongly preferred, with Universal Robots or other industrial/collaborative robotic platforms also considered.
• Basic understanding of PLC-controlled manufacturing equipment; Siemens PLC experience is preferred, while Allen-Bradley or comparable PLC experience is also acceptable.
• Knowledge of industrial communication protocols and an understanding of how robots, PLCs, sensors, vision systems, and automation equipment communicate within an integrated manufacturing system.
• Exposure to machine vision or inspection technology, preferably Keyence vision systems, cameras, sensors, or similar automated inspection equipment.
• Ability to read and understand electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, technical documentation, and equipment drawings is strongly preferred.
• Strong hands-on troubleshooting and learning ability, with the willingness to work directly on the manufacturing floor and develop expertise in Webasto-specific equipment, processes, and automation systems.
