Job's mission
We are seeking a motivated Systems Engineer I to support software-driven automation tools for semiconductor equipment and field-service workflows. This role is ideal for an early-career engineer with strong software fundamentals who is comfortable working close to hardware, robotics, cameras, HMIs, measurement tools, databases, and production/service environments.
The engineer will help develop and maintain local applications, diagnostic tools, HMI workflows, data pipelines, automation tools, and supporting software used by engineering, manufacturing, field service, and cleanroom/cleanhouse partners. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with Python and/or C/C++, user interface development, basic networking, data handling, and troubleshooting systems in lab or deployed environments.
This role requires curiosity, attention to detail, clear communication, and the ability to take ownership of assigned technical tasks while learning in a cross-functional engineering environment.
What you will be working on
- Develop and maintain software applications, diagnostic tools, and HMI interfaces for semiconductor equipment, lab fixtures, robotic tools, and field-service workflows.
- Build operator-facing workflows that are reliable, readable, and easy to use on PCs, HMIs, tablets, or other equipment-connected interfaces.
- Develop frontend/UI and backend logic using Python GUI frameworks, web UI tools, JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML/CSS, APIs/local services, configuration files, logging, and error handling.
- Integrate software with robots, cameras, sensors, measurement devices, motion systems, and industrial equipment.
- Support basic equipment networking, including setting device IP addresses, understanding subnets, and connecting PCs/HMIs to robots, cameras, and controllers.
- Build responsive application workflows using threading, synchronization, asynchronous execution, or queue-based updates so long-running robot, camera, measurement, or communication tasks do not freeze the HMI/operator interface.
- Support databases and data pipelines for measurement results, equipment records, part data, reports, analytics, model inputs/outputs, and traceability.
- Support data-driven and AI/ML workflows where applicable, including feature extraction, model integration, similarity scoring, quality/health checks, prediction outputs, and engineering analytics.
- Create and maintain scripts, tools, installers, documentation, validation notes, and test procedures needed to support applications in lab, production, or customer-adjacent environments.
What we are looking for
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, Systems Engineering, or a related technical field.
- Proficiency in Python for application development, automation, scripting, debugging, data handling, or equipment integration.
- Experience with C/C++ or other lower-level programming languages is helpful for debugging, device integration, or performance-critical workflows.
- Experience developing user interfaces, dashboards, diagnostic tools, HMIs, or local software applications.
- Familiarity with JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML, CSS, Python UI frameworks, or similar frontend/HMI technologies.
- Familiarity with backend application logic, APIs/local services, configuration files, logging, error handling, and software testing.
- Familiarity with databases or structured data using SQL, SQLite, JSON, Excel/CSV, NoSQL, or similar tools.
- Basic understanding of networking concepts such as IP addresses, subnets, ports, and local equipment connectivity.
- Exposure to robotics, cameras, sensors, motion systems, measurement devices, machine vision, or industrial equipment is preferred.
- Exposure to AI/ML or data science tools such as scikit-learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow, NumPy, pandas, or similar frameworks is preferred.
- Experience with threading, synchronization, asynchronous programming, event loops, or queue-based UI updates is preferred.
- Experience with software packaging and deployment tools such as PyInstaller, NSIS, virtual environments, PowerShell, Git, GitLab, CI/CD pipelines, or Microsoft Azure is a plus.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, especially when debugging systems that combine software, hardware, data, and operator workflows.
- Ability to communicate technical information clearly and work effectively in a cross-functional engineering environment.

Robotics Engineer Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a robotics engineer in Arizona?
Most Arizona employers require a bachelor's degree in robotics engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or computer science as the foundation. Arizona does not have a state-issued robotics engineer license, but many employers value Professional Engineer registration through the Arizona State Board of Technical Registration for senior roles. Building a portfolio of automation or controls projects, earning certifications in ROS or FANUC robotics, and targeting degree programs at Arizona State University or the University of Arizona strengthens a candidate's standing considerably.
How much do robotics engineers make in Arizona?
Robotics engineers in Arizona earn a median of about $100,270 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $71,030 for the lowest 10% to over $159,040 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire robotics engineers in Arizona?
Employers hiring robotics engineers in Arizona right now include ASM, Gatik, and onsemi, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Arizona's concentration of aerospace, semiconductor, and large-scale fulfillment operations means robotics engineers here tend to work on defense systems, chip fabrication automation, and warehouse robotics rather than consumer product development.
Which Arizona cities have the most robotics engineer jobs?
Phoenix and Scottsdale are the Arizona cities with the most robotics engineer openings. Phoenix drives the bulk of demand through its aerospace primes, major distribution centers, and semiconductor fabs, while Tucson's defense corridor and the expanding Chandler and Mesa chip-manufacturing campuses account for a significant share of the remaining openings.
Are there remote robotics engineer jobs in Arizona?
Yes, but they're rare. Robotics engineering is inherently hands-on, with most roles requiring physical access to equipment, test cells, or manufacturing floors. About 33% of robotics engineer openings tied to Arizona are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions tend to be in simulation modeling, software architecture, or systems documentation rather than hardware integration or commissioning work.
How can I get hired as a robotics engineer in Arizona with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an engineering internship or co-op with an Arizona aerospace or semiconductor manufacturer, where Raytheon Technologies and Intel both run structured programs for new graduates. Entry-level roles such as automation technician, controls associate, or manufacturing test engineer at companies across the Phoenix metro often serve as a first step, and candidates who earn a ROS certification or build a documented GitHub portfolio of robotics projects stand out. Arizona State University's Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering also connects students directly to local industry partners through capstone and research programs.
Where can I find and apply to robotics engineer jobs in Arizona?
You can find and apply to robotics engineer jobs in Arizona on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Find roles that fit your experience and specialization, then apply directly to the employer without any extra steps.
