Industrial Robotics Engineer (Mexico Programs) — Remote Full-Time
Design, program, and support industrial robot cells tied to Mexico manufacturing initiatives while working remotely from the US through Rex.zone. You will translate production requirements into robotic cell architectures, integrate PLC and HMI/SCADA controls, validate motion paths and cycle times, and drive reliability improvements.
Key Responsibilities
Develop and maintain robot programs for handling, welding, palletizing, assembly, and machine tending
Integrate robots with PLCs, safety PLCs, sensors, and industrial networks (EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, DeviceNet)
Implement and validate safety circuits and compliance practices (risk assessments, interlocks, E-stops, guarding)
Support commissioning, FAT/SAT test plans, and production ramp with structured troubleshooting and documentation
Improve cycle time, path planning, and cell utilization using simulation, offline programming, and motion tuning
Build standards for versioning, backup/restore, change control, and maintenance procedures across sites
Collaborate with vision teams to deploy inspection and guidance solutions (2D/3D cameras, lighting, calibration)
Required Qualifications
4+ years in industrial automation or robotics engineering with hands-on robot programming
Strong PLC fundamentals (ladder logic/structured text) and robot controller integration
Experience with at least one major robot OEM (FANUC, ABB, KUKA, Yaskawa/Motoman)
Working knowledge of industrial safety principles, guarding, lockout/tagout, and risk reduction
Work Environment
Remote role; periodic coordination with Mexico-based stakeholders may be required. Apply on Rex.zone to be considered for Mexico-focused industrial robotics engineering programs.
