The all-in-one, most intuitive, most affordable industrial robots. Backed by General Catalyst.
About the role
The Senior Applications Engineer is one of the rarest profiles in industrial automation -- and one of the most important roles at Standard Bots. You're not a mechanical engineer. You're not an electrical engineer. You're not a software engineer. You're all three, and you know how to make them talk to each other. You can look at a customer's production line, understand what's broken or slow or manual, and figure out how to fix it with a robot. Then you build the proof of concept, get on a plane, and go install it.
What they're looking for
- - A genuine trifecta: you're comfortable with mechanical systems, electrical systems, and software -- not just one of the three
- - 6+ years of hands-on experience with industrial automation fundamentals: PLC programming and ladder logic, pneumatics, DC power systems (you know the difference between NPN and PNP), robot programming (any platform), and Python scripting
- - Proficiency with CAD -- SolidWorks preferred, but we care more that you can design and think in 3D than which tool you use
- - Customer-facing experience -- you can explain a technical integration to an engineer, a plant manager, and an ops director in the same conversation and land differently with each one
- - A genuine bias for getting things done in the field, not just in theory -- you'd rather build it than write about it
- - Comfort with up to 50% domestic travel, this role is hands-on and on-site by nature
More about this role
Standard Bots is building the next generation of industrial robots -- hardware that's powerful, affordable, and designed to scale. We're the largest U.S. industrial robotics company by robots shipped, and our robots are showing up on factory floors everywhere from independent machine shops to NASA and Lockheed Martin.
Note: This role is technically remote, but you must live on the west coast (preference for California). This job is customer-facing and requires up to 50% domestic travel, Monday through Friday. If that makes you nervous, this probably isn't the right fit. If that sounds like a perk, read on.
Also note: This is not a software engineering role. If you're looking for a job where you sit at a desk and write application code, this is the wrong job description. If you want to actually build things, wire things up, and watch them run -- keep reading.
