Industrial System Integrator Lead
Workr is building the largest industrial robotic workforce on Earth to revitalize American manufacturing. As the Industrial System Integrator Lead, you will be responsible for integrating the AI platform with industrial hardware and designing the architecture to ensure the deployment of intelligent robots in manufacturing environments.
Responsibilities
Lead the end-to-end integration of the Workr AI platform with industrial robot arms (ABB, Fanuc, Kawasaki, etc.) and peripheral hardware
Design and implement communication protocols between our edge compute and factory-floor infrastructure (EtherNet/IP, Profinet, Modbus)
Architect safety-rated control systems, ensuring all deployments meet RIA/ISO standards while maintaining high performance
Lead on-site commissioning and deployments, managing everything from electrical panel integration to final sensor calibration
Develop 'Sim-to-Real' pipelines in collaboration with Simulation Engineers to ensure physical deployments match virtual models
Troubleshoot complex 'ghost in the machine' issues—hardware timing jitter, network latency at the edge, and EMI in harsh environments
Build the integration playbook: Create the standards and documentation that will allow us to scale from one site to one thousand
Qualification
Required
4+ years of experience in industrial automation and robotic systems integration
Education: Bachelor's degree or trade certification in Mechatronics, Electrical or Mechanical Engineering, or related experience in the field
Extensive experience with industrial robot programming and the integration of End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT)
Deep expertise in PLC programming, control systems, safety control and industrial networking
You are as comfortable red-lining an electrical schematic as you are leading a technical review with customer stakeholders
You are comfortable in a terminal and can navigate a modern software stack to bridge the gap between IT and OT
Familiarity with industrial safety standards (OSHA, NFPA 70E/Arc Flash, Lockout/Tagout, ANSI/RIA)
You thrive in the challenge of the factory floor and are ready for significant travel to ensure our robotic workforce is successfully deployed
Have full work authorization in the US. We are not able to provide visa sponsorships (e.g. HB1) or hire candidates on current F1 visas
Ability to work in active industrial environments, including lifting up to 50 lbs, and working around heavy machinery
Preferred
Certifications such as OSHA 10/30 are a plus
