About this opportunity
Exotec lists this Field Commissioning Engineer - Warehouse Robotics & Automation opportunity in dallas, Texas. Review the employer’s description below for duties, qualifications and application requirements.
Job description
Exotec designs and delivers advanced automation solutions that help global brands optimize warehouse performance while supporting warehouse teams across at every level. Our organization combines elegant mechanical design, resilient software and a deep understanding of logistics operations to solve our clients’ most complex challenges.
Working at Exotec means contributing to the systems used daily in warehouses. You’ll collaborate with passionate colleagues who share knowledge, challenge ideas and work in a respectful environment that values the diversity of more than 1,000 ExoPeople around the world.
Here, your work moves from concept to production and into the hands of clients who rely on it each day. You’ll join a company where collaboration, excellence, and meaningful impact guide what’s built next.
Role Summary
As a Field Commissioning Engineer, you’ll be the boots on the ground bringing Exotec’s robotics and automation systems to life at our client warehouse locations. It’s a high-travel position (our engineers are on-site generally 3 weeks out of each month), but an ideal role for individuals who love solving real engineering challenges in real-world environments.
Working hands-on with robotics, hardware, software, programming tools, and third‑party industrial equipment, you’ll gain broad technical experience quickly. Unlike other “engineering” roles in the industry, this is a true engineering position where you help design and refine test plans—not just execute them. The work is varied, collaborative, and directly tied to the success of each system launch.
Responsibilities
Manage the integration of Exotec products and third‑party systems on customer warehouse, distribution, and fulfillment sites
Actively participate in the commissioning process to ensure system functionality and reliability
Plan, coordinate, and execute system validation tests—including defining and refining test plans
Measure, improve, and maintain the reliability of the full solution throughout deployment phases
Coordinate and implement software configurations and improvements to deployed systems
Troubleshoot across software, mechanical, electrical, and networking layers
Communicate directly with customers to assess and fulfill their needs and requirements
Provide clear updates and documentation through Exotec’s internal tools, including coordination with the Atlanta‑based team
Support on-site interactions with clients, including de-escalating challenging or time‑sensitive situations
Inform operational teams on project progress and risks
We strongly encourage applications from candidates of all genders to help us build a truly inclusive environment. If you don’t meet every requirement listed below, don’t worry—your skills and experiences may still make you a great fit
At least 1 year of commissioning robotic systems and/or equipment, ideally in industrial automation, material handling, warehousing, or logistics

Clear, professional communication skills, including the ability to manage on‑site client interactions and de‑escalate as needed
