Description

About ASI At ASI, we are revolutionizing industries with state-of-the-art autonomous robotics solutions. We deliver technologies that enhance safety, productivity, and efficiency. Guided by our core values-Simplicity, Safety, Transparency, Humility, Attention to Detail, and Growth-we are shaping the future of automation in dynamic, real-world environments. Position Overview As a Robotic Arm Engineer II, you will own the engineering, programming, and system integration of FANUC robotic arms deployed on ASI's autonomous yard truck platforms. This role extends beyond programming-requiring full lifecycle ownership from concept through deployment, including tooling design collaboration, system validation, and real-world performance optimization. You will play a critical role in delivering a highly reliable robotic solution that enables autonomous connection and disconnection of air and electrical systems between trucks and trailers. This is a hands-on engineering role that blends robotics, controls, and applied systems thinking in complex, field-deployed environments. Key Responsibilities Own the design, programming, and optimization of FANUC robotic arm systems across development and production environments. Lead robotic system integration efforts, including coordination with mechanical, electrical, and software engineering teams. Partner with design teams to define and refine end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) and interface mechanisms for robust truck-to-trailer connections. Develop and deploy reliable motion strategies, error handling, and recovery routines for real-world, variable conditions. Integrate and optimize FANUC vision systems (2D/3D iRVision) to support precision alignment and adaptability. Drive testing, validation, and performance benchmarking, ensuring systems meet reliability, safety, and uptime requirements. Troubleshoot complex field issues, applying structured problem-solving and root cause analysis to drive permanent solutions. Support onsite deployments and collaborate directly with customers and internal teams to ensure successful system performance. Contribute to engineering standards, documentation, and continuous improvement of robotic systems and processes. Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership within the robotics team. Required Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field. 3+ years of experience designing, programming, and deploying FANUC robotic systems or similar robotic arm technologies in industrial environments. Strong experience with FANUC programming (TP/KAREL) and system configuration. Experience with FANUC iRVision (2D and/or 3D) integration and calibration. Proven ability to work across hardware/software boundaries, including sensors, PLCs, and system interfaces. Demonstrated experience in system integration and field deployment, not just isolated cell programming. Strong troubleshooting skills with the ability to diagnose issues across mechanical, electrical, and software domains. Ability to operate independently in fast-paced, ambiguous environments. Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across cross-functional teams. Preferred Qualifications Experience with autonomous systems, mobile robotics, or outdoor/industrial automation environments. Familiarity with PLC integration, fieldbus communication (EtherNet/IP, ProfiNet, etc.), and controls systems. Experience designing or collaborating on EOAT/tooling solutions. Exposure to safety-rated robotic systems and risk mitigation practices. Prior experience mentoring engineers or leading small technical initiatives. At Autonomous Solutions, Inc. (ASI), we are committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace where all employees and applicants have equal opportunities. We prohibit discrimination and harassment of any kind based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other legally protected characteristic. ASI complies with all applicable federal, state, and local laws regarding non-discrimination in employment and is dedicated to providing reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities throughout the hiring process.

Responsibilities

The engineer will own the full lifecycle of FANUC robotic arm systems, from design and programming to system integration and field deployment. They will also lead testing, validation, and performance optimization while collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure reliable autonomous operations.
