About the role

This role sits at the intersection of mechanical systems, electrical systems, controls, industrial networking, machine safety, manufacturing handoff, and field execution.
We do not expect equal depth in every area.
Candidates may be considered at different levels based on experience, technical depth, and demonstrated ownership.

Contribute to the design, integration, and improvement of robotic pick cells and related industrial automation systems.
Design, integrate, and troubleshoot automation subsystems, including conveyors, motors, sensors, barcode scanners, IO-Link devices, load cells, scales, safety systems, PLCs, and related cell components.
Develop and support interfaces between Berkshire Grey automation systems and customer facility equipment, including conveyor systems and third-party controls.
Develop, modify, debug, or support PLC-based automation systems, including Siemens systems.
Support safety system design, validation, troubleshooting, field verification, and related documentation.
Support domestic and international installations, commissioning, acceptance testing, and field troubleshooting.
Create and maintain technical documentation for system designs, test procedures, commissioning steps, field issues, corrective actions, and manufacturing handoff.
Support manufacturing handoff by documenting build requirements, assembly and test expectations, known issues, and production readiness feedback.
For more experienced candidates: lead larger cell design or integration efforts, mentor other engineers, drive technical decisions across disciplines, and help establish scalable engineering standards.
