Senior Robotics Solutions Engineer

About PackageX PackageX is building the Physical Logistics Execution Platform for enterprise teams operating across manufacturing sites, distribution centers, warehouses, retail locations, and logistics-heavy environments. Our platform uses Vision AI, workflow automation, mobile execution, and integrations to help companies digitize, execute, and verify physical operations at the point of work, creating trusted evidence of what happened across their operations. Our operating model is simple: Execution. Verification. Evidence. Role Overview PackageX is extending its platform from perception into action. Our systems identify, classify and verify what is happening on a warehouse floor. We are now closing the loop, taking that output and driving the physical equipment that acts on it. We are hiring a Senior Robotics Solutions Engineer to lead that work in the field. You are the person who walks into an enterprise distribution center, understands their automation cell in depth, designs the integration between their robotics and our platform, and then builds it. This is a senior, customer facing engineering role. You will spend real time on customer floors alongside distribution directors, industrial engineers and IT leadership, trusted to represent PackageX technically without supervision. Between site visits, you build. We are starting with palletizing and pallet sorting applications in high volume distribution, and expanding from there into case and tote auditing, pick and pack validation, and material handling equipment Contract Details Term: Three months Location: Remote, United States. Reports to: Chief Technology & AI Officer. What You Will Own Field discovery: Lead technical discovery onsite. Establish the equipment and controls baseline for a cell: robot model, controller and firmware, I/O map, safety architecture, camera and sensor inventory, cycle times, throughput and physical envelope constraints. A great deal of what you need will not be written down anywhere. You get it by knowing what to ask, and who to ask. Robot control and motion: Design, build and commission control and motion logic for industrial palletizing and sortation cells. Motion sequencing, pick and place, stacking and pallet pattern logic, singulation, and recovery from partial or failed cycles. This includes taking ownership of systems already installed and running. Safety: Own the functional safety story end to end. Risk assessment, safeguarding, emergency stop and interlock integrity, safe speed and separation, and the documentation a customer engineering and EHS team will sign. Nothing we ship moves a machine without this. The control interface layer: Command and telemetry between PackageX and robot controllers, PLCs, fleet managers, conveyor and sortation control. Expect ROS 2, vendor SDKs and controller APIs, HTTPS and REST, MQTT, OPC UA, and industrial fieldbus where it turns up.: Vision to motion: Turn classification and inspection output from our vision models into safe, correct and timely machine action, including what happens when the model is uncertain and what happens when it is simply wrong. Failure modes: Dropped links, partial task completion, and reported state that disagrees with physical reality. You design for the floor at 3am, not for the demo. The operator surface: Enough front end capability to stand up the views that show robot driven work in progress and put exceptions in front of a human, without waiting on a designer. Handoff and enableent: Documentation, test coverage and internal training, so the work you deliver becomes durable PackageX capability rather than a one off. Ideal Background Robotics and Control Depth ▪ Production experience programming and commissioning industrial robotic arms. Yaskawa Motoman, Fanuc, ABB, KUKA or Universal Robots. Coursework and hobby platforms do not count here. ▪ Fluency in robot motion. Kinematics, frames and tool center points, path planning, singularities, payload and reach limits, collisi
