Equipment Production Simulation Engineer

About the Role

This is an entry-level position to support the team in performing Offline Programming (OLP) utilizing simulation software and robotics knowledge to reduce new model introduction time. The role aims to minimize negative impacts on current model production while reducing online robot programming time for new model activities. Primary tools include robotic simulation, cycle time estimations, and validating tooling design in a 3D Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Engineering environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute new model offline simulation for individual process and tooling clearance checks, cycle time validation, and robot program download, under the assistance of a mentor.
• Communicate with Engineering, Mechanical Design, and Electrical Design on necessary changes for successful Off Line Programming installation.
• Validate current production cycle time and troubleshoot countermeasures for improvement.
• Support the online teach team (internal and contract resources) at a process level for Off Line Programming implementation and cycle time verification.
• Support overall unit initiatives and group-level business plan goals.
• Create deliverables for Off Line Programming installation or handover to suppliers.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Off-line programming experience or experience with Fanuc and/or Yaskawa Motoman robotic programming.
• Robotic/Automated equipment deployment experience.
• Strong communication skills, both verbal and written.

Qualifications

• Bachelor of Engineering degree in Robotics/Mechanical/Electrical/Manufacturing/Welding/or Engineering Technology or an associate's degree or equivalent work experience.
• 0-6 years of experience in robot simulation and/or robot programming, based on education.

Working Conditions

• Combination of office and plant floor. Must be willing to work hands-on.
• Willingness to work shifted work weeks, weekends, and overtime when necessary.
• 20 to 25% travel, both domestic and international.
