Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # AI Applications Engineer (Glen Cove, NY) - **Company:** The Standard - **Location:** Glen Cove, NY, United States - **Salary:** $120,000.0 - $150,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, Middleware, Python (Programming Language), Machine Learning, Object Detection, Visual Systems, Convolutional Neural Networks, Build Management, Fanuc, Bots, Kuka, Virtual Agents - **Published:** August 4, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=f0ea557e92521a2c ## About the Role Core Skills (Must have all or most) - Robot programming proficiency or adjacent software experience - if you can write Python without an AI agent, you can probably program a robot having never touched one before - Prior robotics knowledge - anything from high school robotics to professional manipulation experience; we care that you've actually worked with robots, not just read about them - Surface-level fluency in ML models and techniques - you can have a real conversation about convolutional neural networks, object detection, and visual language models without Googling the definitions mid-sentence - Technical proficiency in an engineering environment - you write documentation, manage your own projects, work well with a team, and don't need someone watching over your shoulder - Willingness to travel - up to 50% domestically right now; that number will come down as we grow Specializations (Must have at least one) - Mechanical Design - pneumatics, camera mounts, end-of-arm tooling for manipulators; bonus points if you've designed a gripper - Electrical Design - custom board fabrication, general electrical knowledge for wiring relays and solenoids in automation environments - Machine Vision - you know which cameras and lenses to use for a given application and why; you've actually deployed a vision system, not just selected one on paper Nice to Have * Experience with collaborative robots (UR, Fanuc, KUKA, ABB, or similar) * Hands-on work with vision systems in a production or lab environment (Cognex, Basler, FLIR, or similar) * Familiarity with ROS or other robotics middleware * Background in a manufacturing or industrial automation environment - Experience at a startup - you know what it means to build something from scratch with limited resources ## Description The AI Applications Engineer sits at the intersection of robotics, AI, and hands-on field work. You're not a pure software engineer and you're not a pure hardware engineer - you're the person who can look at a manufacturing challenge, figure out how computer vision or a language model makes the robot smarter, and then actually build and deploy the solution. You'll work closely with the sales, software and applications engineering teams to scope AI-enabled solutions, build proofs of concept in our shop, and travel to customer sites to install and commission them. You'll own your projects end-to-end - from initial design through field deployment and customer training. This is a builder's role. Tinkerers and people who get bored at a desk are strongly encouraged to apply. What You'll Do AI Solution Design & POC Development - Work with customers and the sales team to identify where AI - computer vision, object detection, visual language models - creates real leverage in their production process * Design and build proofs of concept that validate the solution before anyone signs anything * Develop documentation, sample code, and integration guides that help customers and internal teams replicate and scale what you've built Field Deployment & Integration * Travel to customer sites to install, configure, and commission AI-enabled robotic cells * Own the full integration: camera placement and calibration, model deployment, I/O configuration, testing, and sign-off - Troubleshoot on-site when things don't go as planned - you stay until it works Customer Training & Support * Train customer operators and engineers on the AI capabilities of their Standard Bots deployment * Be a trusted technical resource post-install as customers push the system into new applications * Feed real-world deployment learnings back to our engineering and product teams Internal Collaboration * Work with the broader applications and engineering teams on new feature testing, peripheral integrations, and platform expansion - Help build the internal knowledge base on AI-enabled applications - what works, what doesn't, and why ## Related Videos - [Robots are coming into the wild!
