About the role
Robotics & AI Systems Development Engineer II
Position Summary
The Robotics & AI Systems Development Engineer II plays a foundational role in advancing Niagara’ Bottling LLC’s autonomous manufacturing strategy through the deployment of quadruped and Humanoid robotics and intelligent AI systems across bottle manufacturing maintenance operations.
This position is responsible for designing, programming, and deploying robotic systems while simultaneously developing scalable fleet management platforms and AI-driven manufacturing intelligence solutions. The role extends beyond robotics control to include AI architecture design, intelligent agent development, predictive and prescriptive maintenance systems, and enterprise-level integration across manufacturing ecosystems.
This is a high-impact, cross-functional engineering role requiring strong technical depth, system-level thinking, and the ability to communicate complex solutions effectively to diverse audiences including operations (Manufacturing plants), IT, systems Engineering, and executive leadership.
Responsibilities
Key Responsibilities
1.
Robotics Software Development & Autonomous Systems
· Design, develop, and deploy control systems for quadruped robots operating in active manufacturing environments.
· Develop autonomous inspection routines, navigation logic, and mission orchestration.
· Integrate and optimize sensor systems including thermal imaging, acoustic sensors, vibration monitoring, LiDAR, and vision systems.
· Implement edge-based decision-making frameworks for real-time anomaly detection.
· Ensure operational robustness in industrial bottling environments (wet floors, dynamic obstacles, tight production spaces).
2.
Fleet Management Platform Development
· Architect and develop scalable fleet management software to manage multiple robotic assets across facilities.
· Design mission scheduling, battery optimization, health monitoring, and alerting systems.
· Develop cloud-edge synchronization frameworks for real-time data exchange.
· Integrate robotic data outputs into enterprise systems including CMMS, ticketing platforms (e.g., mCAPA), historians, and analytics platforms.
· Establish secure API-based integration models and microservices architecture where appropriate.
3.
AI Architecture & Intelligent Manufacturing Agents
· Design and deploy AI-driven agents supporting:
o Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM)
o Predictive Maintenance (PdM)
o Prescriptive Maintenance
o Intelligent Diagnostics and Root Cause Analysis
· Develop time-series anomaly detection models for manufacturing asset health monitoring.
· Build LLM-enabled operator assistants and decision-support systems tailored to manufacturing workflows.
· Implement MLOps practices including model lifecycle management, monitoring, retraining, and governance.
· Support digital twin and manufacturing intelligence initiatives.
4.
Industrial Systems Integration
· Integrate robotic and AI systems with PLC/SCADA platforms and industrial communication protocols (OPC-UA, MQTT, Modbus, TCP/IP).
· Design standardized data acquisition frameworks across diverse asset families (blowers, fillers, conveyors, utilities).
· Ensure system performance, reliability, cybersecurity, and scalability.
· Support pilot deployments and enterprise-scale rollouts.
5.
Technical Communication & Cross-Functional Leadership
· Prepare and deliver technical presentations tailored to varied audiences including plant operations, engineering teams, IT leadership, and executive stakeholders.
· Translate complex AI and robotics concepts into measurable business value and ROI narratives.
· Participate in design reviews and strategic roadmap discussions.
· Support change management initiatives during technology adoption.
