Senior Robotics Engineer – Powertrain

About the role

The Sr Robotics Engineer, Powertrain owns robotics standards, offline programming, reliability, and safety validation for AMP-2 Powertrain – covering both Drive Unit and HV Battery robotic populations. Joining a greenfield facility, this engineer sets FANUC, ABB, and KUKA standards from first commissioning through volume ramp‑up. The role is accountable for robot uptime, cycle time, and safety compliance for the entire Powertrain robot fleet.

Key responsibilities

• Define and enforce robotics standards across FANUC, ABB, and KUKA platforms, including naming, positioning, program, and safety‑configuration conventions.
• Lead offline programming using RoboGuide, RobotStudio and similar tools, performing reachability, collision and cycle‑time simulations for new cell designs and modifications.
• Manage robot reliability and uptime by establishing preventive‑maintenance strategies, conducting root‑cause analysis of breakdowns, and optimizing cycle times to meet takt requirements.
• Oversee robot safety validation, coordinating with EHS and automation teams on safety‑PLC integration, light curtains, interlocks, and maintaining audit‑ready records.
• Ensure high‑voltage (HV) safety compliance with LOTO, HVIL continuity, Saudi standards (SASO, MOL) and functional safety standards (ISO 13849, IEC 62061), and support emergency response procedures.
