Robot Programmers (Intermediate to Senior Roles)
Top Benefits
About the role
VOLCANIX AUTOMATION is seeking Robot Programmers to support a large-scale advanced energy manufacturing facility in the Northeastern United States. This is a hands-on programming role: you'll be on the floor writing, tuning, and optimizing robot programs across production lines. The work involves new cell integration, process refinement, and keeping robotic systems running at high utilization.
We're building a multi-person team spanning intermediate and senior programmers, and we're hiring at both levels at once. Experience with at least FANUC or ABB is required; knowing both is a strong plus.
Responsibilities Program, teach, and optimize industrial robots Develop and modify robot programs for material handling, assembly, dispensing, and process applications Support commissioning and debugging of robotic cells, from installation through production handoff Tune robot paths, speeds, and process parameters to meet cycle time and quality targets Integrate robotic systems with PLC-controlled equipment and safety devices Troubleshoot robot faults, communication issues, and process failures on-site Support production launches, startups, and ramp-up activities Perform backup management, program version control, and documentation Collaborate with controls engineers, mechanical teams, and production staff Participate in system validation, run-offs, and customer acceptance activities Follow client programming standards and documentation requirements
Experience Levels We're Hiring For Intermediate Robot Programmer 3+ years of hands-on robot programming experience Proficiency on one or more of: FANUC, ABB Familiarity with robot simulation tools (Roboguide, RobotStudio) Able to write new robot programs and modify existing code, with guidance from senior programmers on complex new-cell development Working familiarity with robot initialization and configuration: I/O configuration, safety zones, TCP & payload Solid path optimization and cycle time improvement skills Nice to have: vision-guided robotics, dispensing/sealing applications, palletizing or high-speed material handling, Siemens PLC or Ignition exposure
Senior Robot Programmer 7+ years of hands-on robot programming experience Strong proficiency on one or more of: FANUC, ABB Experience with robot simulation tools (Roboguide, RobotStudio) Proven ability to create programs from scratch, not just modify existing code Experience with robot initialization and configuration: I/O configuration, safety zones, TCP & payload Strong path optimization and cycle time improvement skills Nice to have: vision-guided robotics, dispensing/sealing applications, palletizing or high-speed material handling, Siemens PLC or Ignition exposure
Both levels: comfort working on-site in fast-paced production environments, a strong problem-solving mindset, and excellent communication and documentation skills are expected. Engineering or technical degree preferred.
Work Authorization We welcome candidates who are: Eligible for TN Visa Authorized to work and travel across North America
Additional Information Travel and work-related expenses will be covered by the company Work Location: On-site
