Industrial Robotics Engineer (Remote – Buenos Aires)

About the role

Rex.zone is looking for a Mid‑Senior Industrial Robotics Engineer to join its remote team supporting automation programmes for robotic workcells and production lines. You will be responsible for robot programming, PLC coordination, commissioning, safety validation and reliability improvements across multiple deployments.

Key responsibilities

• Develop and maintain robot programs (motion paths, tool frames, work objects) and integrate them with PLC logic for interlocks and cycle control.
• Support robotic cell integration, including end‑of‑arm tooling, fixtures, sensors and machine‑vision alignment.
• Create and execute commissioning checklists, SAT/FAT plans and production‑readiness validations with clear acceptance criteria.
• Troubleshoot downtime using root‑cause analysis of alarms, I/O states, network diagnostics and safety trips, and implement corrective actions.
• Optimize cycle time, repeatability and quality through parameter tuning, path optimisation and robust error recovery.
• Ensure compliance with industrial safety standards, guarding, interlocks and risk assessments.
• Document wiring/I/O maps, network topology, robot backups, change‑control notes and maintenance hand‑over guides.
• Collaborate with mechanical, electrical and manufacturing teams to manage requirements, constraints and deployment timelines.

Required profile

• Mid‑senior experience in industrial robotics, automation or controls engineering.
• Hands‑on robot programming and debugging in production environments.
• Working knowledge of PLC concepts, I/O, sequencing and safety signals.
• Experience with industrial networks such as EtherNet/IP, Profinet or TCP/IP.
• Proven experience integrating EOAT, sensors, conveyors or machine‑vision systems.
• Strong troubleshooting skills with clear documentation and change‑management discipline.
• Ability to work effectively in a remote, asynchronous collaboration setting.

Required skills

• Robot controllers and teach pendants.
• PLC and HMI environments.
• Offline programming and simulation suites.
• Industrial network diagnostic tools and log capture.
• Issue‑tracking, versioning for backups and documentation systems.

What we offer

• Competitive hourly base pay ranging from $30 to $50 (USD).
• Full‑time remote position with flexible working hours.
