Full Job Description
đź“‹ Description
- • The Senior Applications Engineer is a rare and important role at Standard Bots, requiring a unique combination of mechanical, electrical, and software expertise.
- • The ideal candidate is comfortable with industrial automation fundamentals, including PLC programming, ladder logic, pneumatics, DC power systems, robot programming, and Python scripting.
- • Proficiency with CAD software, such as SolidWorks, is also required.
- • The role involves working closely with the sales team to design and build proof of concept solutions, as well as installing and integrating robotic cells at customer sites.
- • The Senior Applications Engineer will also be responsible for training customer operators and technicians, supporting customers post-install, and representing Standard Bots at industry events and trade shows.
- • This is a hands-on role that requires up to 50% domestic travel and a genuine bias for getting things done in the field.
- • The ideal candidate will have a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, or a related engineering discipline, or equivalent hands-on experience.
- • Nice to have skills include prior experience with collaborative robots, familiarity with machine tending, palletizing, welding, or assembly automation applications, and experience with vision systems, force/torque sensing, or custom end-of-arm tooling.
🎯 Requirements
- • A genuine trifecta: you're comfortable with mechanical systems, electrical systems, and software -- not just one of the three
- • 6+ years of hands-on experience with industrial automation fundamentals: PLC programming and ladder logic, pneumatics, DC power systems (you know the difference between NPN and PNP), robot programming (any platform), and Python scripting
- • Proficiency with CAD -- SolidWorks preferred, but we care more that you can design and think in 3D than which tool you use
- • Customer-facing experience -- you can explain a technical integration to an engineer, a plant manager, and an ops director in the same conversation and land differently with each one
- • A genuine bias for getting things done in the field, not just in theory -- you'd rather build it than write about it
- • Comfort with up to 50% domestic travel; this role is hands-on and on-site by nature
- • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, or a related engineering discipline -- or equivalent hands-on experience that tells the same story
🏖️ Benefits
- • The salary range for this role is $150,000 to $200,000, depending on experience
- • All Full-Time Employees are eligible for Employee Stock Options
- • We also offer a package of benefits including paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, and 401(k) to regular full-time employees
