Standard Bots is building the future of AI-integrated robotics, with a mission to lower the barrier to entry for real-world automation. The Applications Engineering team designs, installs, and supports innovative robotic solutions that bring automation to new industries and use cases. As an AI Applications Engineer, you will be a customer-facing problem-solver who architects and deploys robotic solutions. You'll work cross-functionally with sales, customers, and in-house engineering to design solutions around the Standard Bots RO1 for AI-enabled applications. This is a hands-on role where you'll go into the field to install, program, and verify solutions; develop proof-of-concept systems at the AI lab in Glen Cove, NY; and support customers as they discover innovative uses for the platform. You'll also create supporting materials such as sample code, white papers, application notes, and marketing collateral to help grow the customer base. You'll assist the in-house engineering team with design and testing of expanding AI functionality. This role requires up to 50% domestic travel (Monday–Friday) and a presence at the Glen Cove, NY office 4–5 days per week. You must be based in Texas and willing to travel extensively. This is not a desk-based software engineering role; it's for engineers who want to build, wire, and watch systems run in the real world. Standard Bots does not offer visa sponsorship for this position. REQUIREMENTS: - 5+ years of experience working in complex technical environments or relevant educational background in automation - Strong technical foundation including basic electrical knowledge (DC power, NPN/PNP understanding) - Proficiency in Python scripting - Familiarity with Solidworks or similar CAD software - Self-driven, optimistic, creative, and resourceful mindset - Excellent written and verbal communication skills - Ability to thrive in dynamic, ambitious environments - No robotics background required, but enthusiasm for the domain is valued - Must be willing to relocate to or be based in Texas and travel extensively
