As an Implementation Engineer, you will own customer automation solutions end-to-end: translating requirements into full engineering designs, configuring and integrating robotic systems, and leading on-site installation and commissioning. Your impact will be measured by systems that work reliably on factory floors and deliver real productivity gains for our customers.

What You'll Do

• Automation System Design & Engineering: Develop full engineering designs for custom automation systems, including robot layouts, tooling concepts, safety considerations, and system integration plans.
• Translate Requirements Into Reality: Work closely with customers, applications engineers, and internal teams to turn manufacturing requirements into robust, deployable automation solutions.
• System Integration: Specify and integrate robots, end-of-arm tooling, sensors, conveyors, safety systems, and software into cohesive automation cells.
• On-Site Implementation & Deployment: Lead or directly execute on-site installation, commissioning, and validation of automation systems at customer facilities.
• Debug in the Real World: Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, and software issues during deployment, rapidly identifying root causes and implementing fixes under real-world constraints.
• Customer-Facing Execution: Serve as a technical point of contact during installs, working hands-on with customer teams to ensure smooth deployment and knowledge transfer.
• Continuous Improvement & Feedback Loop: Document system designs, installation procedures, and lessons learned to improve repeatability and scalability across deployments.
• Design for Manufacturability: Provide feedback to product, hardware, and software teams to improve standardization, reliability, and ease of installation across Standard Bots solutions.
• Field-Informed Engineering: Bring insights from the factory floor back into system design, helping evolve our automation offerings based on real customer usage.

Who You Are 5+ years of experience in automation engineering, robotics, systems integration, or industrial engineering, with direct exposure to deploying systems in production environments.

• Automation & Robotics Fundamentals: Hands-on experience with industrial robots, automation cells, or complex electromechanical systems. Familiarity with safety standards and manufacturing environments is a strong plus.
• Systems Thinking: Ability to design complete automation solutions that balance performance, reliability, safety, cost, and ease of deployment.
• On-Site Problem Solving: Strong troubleshooting skills across mechanical, electrical, and software domains, with the ability to remain effective in fast-paced, customer-facing environments.
• Clear Communication: Comfort working directly with customers, operators, and internal teams, clearly explaining technical concepts and installation decisions.
• Adaptability & Ownership: A self-driven mindset with the ability to take ownership of projects from early design through on-site execution and handoff.
