Job Description

Tired of doing the same automation projects over and over?

n

Come and work on the ones that haven't been solved yet.

n

At Intelligent Robotics (IR), we're developing advanced robotic and automation systems for some of the most challenging applications in industry.

n

We're looking for an experienced Senior Automation & Robotics Engineer who loves solving difficult engineering problems and wants to work at the intersection of robotics, automation, machine vision, motion control and AI.

n

This isn't a role where you'll spend your time making minor modifications to the same PLC program or commissioning another standard production line.

n

You'll be designing and delivering systems where r obots need to see, understand, decide and interact with complex real-world environments.

What will you work on? n

Our projects combine technologies including:

n

n
- Industrial robots and collaborative robots
n
- PLC and advanced automation systems
n
- 2D and 3D machine vision
n
- Servo and motion control
n
- AI and machine learning
n
- Advanced sensors and instrumentation
n
- Industrial networks and communications
n
- Machine safety
n
- Robotic end effectors and manipulation
n
- Simulation and digital twins
n
- Humanoid robotics and Physical AI
n

n

You'll work across the complete engineering lifecycle:

n

One day you might be developing the architecture for a new robotic production system.

n

The next you could be integrating a 3D vision system, optimising robot motion, solving a PLC sequencing problem, commissioning equipment at a customer site or helping turn an R&D; concept into a commercial product.

The role n

As a Senior Automation & Robotics Engineer, you'll take significant technical responsibility for the systems you work on.

n

You’ll:

n

n
- Design and develop complete robotic automation systems.
n
- Develop PLC, robot, motion and control system architectures.
n




- Program and integrate industrial robots and cooperative robots.
n
- Develop and commission PLC and HMI applications.
n
- Integrate machine vision, sensors and advanced sensing technologies.
n
- Develop servo and motion-control applications.
n
- Integrate robots, PLCs, vision, safety and mechanical systems.
n
- Participate in concept development and system architecture.
n
- Lead technical aspects of projects and mentor less experienced engineers.
n
- Troubleshoot complex multidisciplinary engineering problems.
n
- Participate in FAT, installation and site commissioning.
n
- Work directly with customers to understand and solve production challenges.
n
- Contribute to IR's R&D; and new technology development programs.
n
- Help turn successful prototypes into robust, repeatable industrial products.
n

n

Most importantly, you'll have the opportunity to actually engineer.

Who are we looking for? n

We're looking for an experienced automation or robotics engineer who enjoys being challenged.

n

You don't need to be an expert in every technology we use.

n

But you should have strong experience in industrial automation and enough breadth to understand how the complete system fits together.

n

Ideally, you'll bring experience across several of the following:

n

n
- PLC programming
n
- Servo and motion control
n
- Machine vision
n
- Safety PLCs and machine safety
n
- Industrial communications
n
- Sensors and instrumentation
n
- System integration
n

n

Experience with technologies from B&R;, Omron,



Stäubli, ABB, KUKA, Universal Robots, Cognex, Photoneo, SICK, or similar platforms would be valuable.

n

But we're much more interested in how you think and solve problems than whether you've used a particular brand of PLC or robot.

What makes someone successful at IR? n

You enjoy getting to the bottom of difficult problems.

n

You're comfortable starting with a blank sheet of paper rather than waiting for someone else to give you the solution.

n

You can look beyond your own engineering discipline and understand the whole machine.

n

You can move between software, robots, PLCs, sensors, mechanical systems and production processes.

n

You take pride in building equipment that doesn't just work during FAT- it works reliably when the customer needs to run production every day.

n

And when something doesn't work?

n

You're the type of engineer who wants to know why .

n

Because we're automating the things that are difficult to automate.

n

Our engineers work on projects involving advanced robotics, machine vision, AI, intelligent automation, humanoids and Physical AI.

n

We're applying these technologies to real industrial problems across advanced manufacturing, food processing, biomedical/life sciences and other industries.

n

You'll work alongside engineers who enjoy technology, experimentation and solving hard problems.

n

You'll also have the opportunity to influence how systems are designed- not simply implement someone else's specification.

n

As IR grows, there will be opportunities for strong engineers to develop into technical leadership, engineering management and specialist technology roles.

n

If you like difficult engineering problems, we'd like to hear from you.

n

Only Australian residents, or temporary residents with full work rights need apply.
