Robotics Engineer, Body Shop

What to Expect

You’ll own robot programming, commissioning, and
process optimization on Tesla Body-in-White lines—raising efficiency, quality,
and safety with process, controls, production, and maintenance. This is a
hands-on role: path and process issues on the floor, then durable fixes in the
cell.

What You’ll Do

• Program
  and commission KUKA (KRL / Work Visual) and FANUC (TP / Roboguide) robots
  on BIW lines

• Adjust
  robot paths, tools, bases, and reference frames

• Set up
  and validate robot safety, including DCS, Safe Operation, and related
  systems

• Configure
  and optimize gluing, bolting, riveting, welding, and material-handling
  sequences

• Integrate
  robot I/O with PLCs and prove out robot-to-peripheral communication

• Configure
  and integrate vision (Mech-Mind, iRVision, Perceptron, Coherix /
  Vision Tech)

• Troubleshoot
  live issues; maintain backups and documentation; coordinate with process,
  controls, and maintenance

What You’ll Bring

• Hands-on
  KUKA (KRL / Work Visual) and FANUC (TP / Roboguide) programming and
  commissioning, ideally in Body-in-White or similar high-volume assembly

• Experience
  adjusting paths, tools, bases, and frames, and commissioning DCS /
  Safe Operation (or equivalent)

• Practical
  knowledge of joining and handling processes (glue, bolt, rivet, weld) and
  of PLC signal integration

• Experience
  integrating industrial vision (Mech-Mind, FANUC iRVision, Perceptron,
  Coherix, or similar)

• Comfortable
  debugging on the line, keeping backups and documentation current, and
  working across process, controls, and maintenance

• Bias for
  action in a changing production environment, with close attention to
  safety and quality

• Prior
  launch / install / buyoff on BIW or other high-volume automated lines

• Familiarity
  with Tesla or similar OEM body-shop standards, cycle-time recovery, and
  production support
