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.
- Program and commission KUKA (KRL / WorkVisual) and FANUC (TP / Roboguide) robots on BIW lines
- Adjust robot paths, tools, bases, and reference frames
- Set up and validate robot safety, including DCS, SafeOperation, 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 / VisionTech)
- Troubleshoot live issues; maintain backups and documentation; coordinate with process, controls, and maintenance
- Hands-on KUKA (KRL / WorkVisual) 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 / SafeOperation (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
