Commissioning Engineer - Automation & Robotics

R3 Robotics

Luxembourg or Karlsruhe

Your Role

You take a mechanically and electrically completed machine and bring it to life — loading the prepared PLC (Beckhoff), robot (Kuka), and vision (Zivid/Keyence) software, then commissioning the machine through to a successful customer sign-off.

Your Responsibilities

• Load prepared PLC, robot, and vision software onto the machine and configure it for the specific site/customer;
• Perform input/output signal testing and resolve integration issues across PLC, robotics, and vision;
• Run the machine through dry-run, production, and induced-failure tests during commissioning;
• Support and execute Factory and Site Acceptance Testing (FAT/SAT), closing open items with the customer;
• Deliver operator and maintenance training as part of handover;
• Escalate unresolved technical issues to the Dev/Engineering on-call path, and document resolutions for the lessons-learned loop.

Your profile

• Background in automation, mechatronics, robotics, or a related engineering field — degree or equivalent hands-on experience;
• 5+ years of experience in commissioning automated/robotic systems;
• Practical knowledge of PLC programming/deployment, industrial robot systems, and machine vision — you don't need to develop this software, but you need to confidently install, configure, and troubleshoot it;
• Comfortable being the last line of defense on-site before customer sign-off;
• Willingness to travel to customer sites (~50%, per the team's build-up/site-work split);
• English working proficiency; German or French a plus.
