About The Position

The Mechatronics Engineer — Robotics Integration & Delivery will be a key member of the Advanced Robotics & Data Orchestration Team, integrating and delivering the mechanical, electrical, and control systems that turn instruments and robots into reliable, reusable, push-button workflows for Alexion’s Product Development & Clinical Supply organization. You will work across engineering, orchestration, data, laboratory, and delivery teams to assemble, wire, bring up, troubleshoot, validate, and transition robotic systems into safe and usable operations.

Requirements

MS + 0 years, or BS + 4 years in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, or a related field (or equivalent hands-on experience)—including 2+ years integrating lab or industrial automation hardware (robots, conveyors, fixtures, sensors, controllers, and input/output).
Experience with hands-on robotic or automation integration, including mechanical assembly, electrical wiring, control panels or PLC hardware, I/O verification, sensor and actuator integration, and system bring-up.
Ability to interpret and update electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, I/O lists, bills of material, and commissioning or test documentation.
Ability to troubleshoot issues across mechanical, electrical, controls, and software interfaces and communicate technical status clearly to engineering, delivery, and operations stakeholders.
Working knowledge of PLC-based control systems, industrial I/O, relays, sensors, actuators, and control-system troubleshooting.
Collaborative mindset with orchestration/software, data engineers, and scientists/operators; clear, practical documentation.

Nice To Haves

Exposure to regulated lab practices and validation documentation or data-integrity expectations
Familiarity with barcode or RFID, basic vision, and material handling equipment.
Awareness of observability concepts (telemetry, alarms) and reliability basics.

Responsibilities

Integrate robotic and lab-automation hardware, including robot arms, fixtures, conveyors, end-of-arm tooling, enclosures, sensors, control panels, and safety devices.
Build and troubleshoot electrical and control-system interfaces, including PLC hardware, I/O, relays, sensors, actuators, networked devices, and associated wiring and schematics.
Perform system bring-up, including power and signal checks, I/O verification, sensor configuration, calibration, controlled first motion, dry-run testing, and readiness assessments.
Collaborate with Lab Orchestration, Data Engineering, Delivery, scientists, and operators to transition integrated systems into reliable workflows.
Support verification of instrument connectivity, including digital and analog I/O, serial/Ethernet interfaces, barcode or RFID devices, vision systems, and material-handling equipment.
Troubleshoot live integration issues, drive root-cause analysis, and implement corrective actions across mechanical, electrical, controls, and software boundaries.
Create and maintain practical delivery documentation, including drawings, wiring documentation, bills of material, commissioning checklists, test results, issue logs, operating procedures, and handoff materials.
Support operator enablement and day-two adoption, including demonstrations, checklists, training, workflow feedback, and early-life support after deployment.
