Robotics Engineer / Robot Programmer (Industrial Automation)

Project overview

Contract role in Sanand for a 6–8 years robotics/industrial automation professional to program and commission multi-vendor industrial robots (KUKA/FANUC/Stäubli; ABB mentioned) and deliver offline simulation/OLP, PLC-to-robot integration over industrial networks (Profinet, Ethernet/IP, OPC UA/fieldbus), vision integration (Cognex/Keyence), and safety implementation (Safe Operation/DCS/Safe Move, ISO 10218).

Work includes commissioning, IO mapping, sequence validation, cycle-time optimization, troubleshooting during FAT/SAT and production prove-out, and documentation (IO lists, safety docs, FAT/SAT reports) for applications like pick & place, palletizing, welding/gluing, and battery line assembly/material handling.

Responsibilities

• Robot Programming: ABB / KUKA / Fanuc
• Offline Simulation: Process Simulate / Robot Studio
• PLC-to-robot communication (via OPC UA / fieldbus)
• Integration with Cognex / Keyence (for inspection use cases)
• Battery Line Use Cases
• Pick & place, module assembly, material handling
• Program and develop robots in multi-vendor environments: KUKA (KRC4/KRC5), FANUC (30iB Plus), Stäubli (CS9), Perform robot setup from initial installation to production prove-out
• Design robotic systems including Robot PLC integration and Scada integration, safety zoning, and overall architecture
• Perform offline programming and simulation using tools such as: KUKA Sim, Work Visual, Robo Guide, Process Simulate
• Generate OLP (Offline Programs), perform reach studies, and validate cycle times
• Execute robot commissioning, IO mapping, and sequence validation
• Troubleshoot robot programs and integration issues during commissioning

Requirements

• Industrial robot programming (KUKA, FANUC, Stäubli; multi-vendor)
• Robot commissioning and integration (installation to production prove-out)
• Offline programming and simulation (e.g., Process Simulate, RobotStudio, KUKA Sim, WorkVisual, RoboGuide)
• PLC-to-robot communication and fieldbus integration (OPC UA, Profinet, Ethernet/IP)
• Robot safety systems and standards (ISO 10218; Safe Operation/DCS/Safe Move/Cubic-S, interlocks, safety zoning)
• IO mapping, sequence validation, and troubleshooting during commissioning
• Vision system integration for inspection/vision-guided operations (Cognex, Keyence)
• Servo systems, motion control, and robot motion/servo tuning
• Cycle time / throughput optimization and reach studies
• Documentation for automation delivery (robot specs, IO list, safety docs, FAT/SAT reports)
