- Train and mentor warehouse associates on new workflows and processes.
- Maintain the barcode-based floor navigation system used by the AGVs, ensuring all floor codes remain clean, intact, and readable to the vehicles at all times.
- Maintain detailed, individual service records documenting issues and repairs for each robot.
- Manage and organize inventory of spare parts, keeping accurate records of available stock.
- Maintain and organize all tools required for troubleshooting and maintenance, ensuring they are accounted for and in working condition.
Experience
- Hands-on experience working with industrial robotic systems, particularly Fanuc or similar brands.
- Proficiency in robotics programming, including ladder logic (LD), PLC programming, and HMI configuration.
- Strong knowledge of industrial electrical systems, schematics reading, and troubleshooting PLC systems installation and repair.
Qualifications & Skills

- Strong mechanical aptitude and technical problem-solving skills.
- Must have a valid driver’s license and a clean driving record.
