7 open positions in the United States, newest first.

Installs, commissions, maintains, and repairs robotic systems at customer sites such as warehouses, factories, hospitals, or laboratories. The engineer is the vendor's hands on the ground: diagnosing mechanical, electrical, and software faults, replacing components, and getting a stopped system running again. The job also includes training the customer's operators and reporting recurring failures to engineering.

  • Reading electrical schematics and wiring diagrams
  • PLCs, servo drives, and industrial networking
  • Linux command line and basic scripting
  • Willingness to travel extensively
  • Valid driver's license

Doing this job remotely

The remote label here means home-based, with no fixed office. The engineer travels from home to customer sites across a region, often on short notice and sometimes overnight or on weekends when a system is down. Remote diagnostics handle some issues, but the core of the job is physical work on machines.

Where it comes from and where it leads

Many come from industrial maintenance, automation technician roles, military technical specialties, or mechatronics and engineering programs. The role leads to senior or lead field engineer, regional service management, or inside roles in technical support, applications, or reliability engineering.
