What you will do

• Act as the technical point of contact for partners and system integrators adapting robotic arms and piece-picking solutions to customer processes, layouts, and space constraints.
• Assess structural and mounting requirements for robotic equipment, including mezzanines, platforms, building structures, load conditions, and robot-cell safeguarding.
• Define product variations, integration guidelines, installation requirements, and partner-facing technical documentation with the Documentation team.
• Create CAD layouts, 3D models, engineering drawings, guarding solutions, and mounting designs; review partner proposals and provide actionable feedback.
• Support integration with conveyors, legacy material-handling equipment, PLC logic, safety I/O, and wiring interfaces.
• Manage multiple partner projects while supporting design, prototyping, verification testing, root-cause analysis, continuous improvement, and feedback to Product and Engineering.

Requirements

• 7+ years of mechanical engineering experience in robotics, automation, material handling, or machine integration, ideally in a customer- or partner-facing role.
• Familiarity with robotic work-cell safety technologies, including hard guarding, interlocked doors, light curtains, area scanners, safety mats, emergency stops, safety PLCs or relays, and software-based safety zones and speed/separation monitoring.
• Mechanical design experience with 3D CAD such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Creo, Inventor, NX, or similar for robot-cell layouts, guarding, mounting structures, and engineering drawings.
• Experience with conveyor systems and traditional material-handling equipment.
• Understanding of structural and mounting considerations, including load paths, anchoring, vibration, and mezzanine or platform interfaces.
• Ability to work with vendors, partners, system integrators, and other stakeholders across multiple organizational layers.
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously with strong organization and follow-through.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to write clear technical documentation.
• Bachelor's or master's degree in mechanical engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.

Nice to have

• Working knowledge of robot-cell and machine-safeguarding standards, including EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230, ISO 10218-1/-2, ISO 13849-1, ANSI/A3 R15.06, ANSI B11.19, and OSHA 29 CFR 1910.212.
• Ability to read PLC control logic, electrical schematics, and wiring diagrams and discuss them with controls engineers.
• Experience with AMRs/AGVs, put walls, palletizing and depalletizing, pouch or pocket sorters, shuttle systems, and other fulfillment technologies.
• Experience integrating robotic piece-picking or other AI- or vision-guided robotic systems.
• Experience with CE marking, technical files, third-party safety audits, or risk assessments.
• Hands-on commissioning or site-integration experience in warehouse or distribution-center environments.

Culture & Benefits
