About the role

Role Scope

  • Engineer controls for robotics in the data center: motion, safety, and integration with facility systems.
  • Own the robot control stack integration: fleet management, task dispatch, and telemetry into the platform.
  • Design the safety architecture: zones, interlocks, and functional safety for robots working among people and plant.
  • Commission robotic systems at sites and hold them to availability targets.

Requirements

  • Engineered controls for robotic or automated systems in production.
  • Implemented functional safety around robots: risk assessments and safety PLCs.
  • Integrated robot fleets with external systems.
  • Commission on-site and debug across mechanical, electrical, and software.
  • Hold availability numbers, not demos.

Nice-to-Haves

  • ROS or fleet managers.
  • AMR platforms.
  • Robot safety standards (ISO 10218, ISO 3691-4).
  • Data center environments.
