What does the day look like?
A standard work week runs 40 to 50 hours. Only 10% of the day involves physical robot interaction or testing gripper prototypes. The core 50% is spent on high-level system architecture, writing technical specifications, reviewing safety schematics, and simulating cell cycle times. Another 25% covers commercial and vendor management, including analyzing integrator tenders, ROI, and CAPEX cases, while 15% goes to physical plant floor safety audits and commissioning. Architects work with tools such as Siemens (TIA Portal, S7-1500), Rockwell Automation (Studio 5000), Beckhoff (TwinCAT 3), Fanuc, KUKA, ABB, PROFINET, OPC UA, Siemens Process Simulate, and Ignition.
Design phases follow standard weekday office schedules. However, during line commissioning, launches, and annual model changeover shutdowns, hours escalate to 60 hours per week, including night shifts and weekend interventions. Travel to machine builders and production plants takes up 25% to 40% of the annual working schedule.
