Controls Engineer III – Robotic Arm

As a Controls Engineer – Robotics, you will own the full lifecycle engineering of robotic arm systems deployed on ASI's autonomous yard truck platforms. This is an end-to-end integration position requiring you to own the problem from concept through field deployment and continuous performance improvement. You will be central to solving one of our most technically demanding challenges: enabling autonomous connection and disconnection of air and electrical systems between trucks and trailers in active outdoor yard environments. This requires deep expertise in both robotics integration and vision systems - and critically, the ability to adapt industrial vision technology to conditions that standard deployments never encounter. Our robots operate outside, where lighting shifts constantly throughout the day, direct sunlight reflects off trailer surfaces, and darkness or overcast skies can render standard vision configurations unreliable. Solving these vision challenges is core to this role, not peripheral to it. You will also guide and mentor junior robotics engineers, setting technical direction for the team.
