Robotics and Autonomy Solutions Engineer

Robotics and Autonomy Solutions Engineer

Velociti, LLC | Riverside, MO

Pay Range: $120,000 - $175,000  

Design and Deploy the Next Generation of Autonomous Solutions

Velociti is seeking a Robotics and Autonomy Solutions Engineer to help design, integrate, and deploy robotics and autonomous systems across customer environments. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys working across the full solution lifecycle—from concept and pilot through real-world deployment.

You will collaborate closely with Sales, Solutions Principals, and engineering teams to deliver automation solutions that improve safety, efficiency, and operational performance.

About the Role

The Robotics and Autonomy Solutions Engineer is responsible for the design, integration, testing, and support of robotics and autonomous systems used within Velociti’s customer environments. This role requires strong technical depth in robotics and industrial automation, along with the ability to work directly with customers during pilots and deployments.

This position reports to the SVP, Product & Solution Architecture and is based onsite in Riverside, MO, with travel required for customer sites, pilots, and deployments. While the role is not remote, occasional work-from-home flexibility is available with prior coordination and approval.
