What does the day look like?
Roughly 25% of your working time involves 3D simulation and programming. You perform reachability analysis using Siemens Process Simulate, Dassault Systèmes DELMIA, or KUKA.Sim, and program robot arms in vendor languages like KUKA KRL, ABB RAPID, FANUC Karel and TP, or Yaskawa Inform. Technical safety documentation and risk assessments take another 25%, while customer-acceptance testing and operator training make up 15%.
The largest portion—about 35%—is hands-on physical troubleshooting on factory floors, tracing cable harnesses, and establishing PLC communication using Siemens TIA Portal or Rockwell Studio 5000 over PROFINET or EtherNet/IP. Working for a system integrator involves 40% to 70% travel. Commissioning takes place during factory shutdowns, requiring 10-hour to 12-hour shifts, night work, and weekend interventions in noisy industrial plants while wearing steel-toe boots, hard hats, and high-visibility vests.
