Robot Programmers (Intermediate To Senior Roles)

VOLCANIX AUTOMATION is seeking Robot Programmers to commissioning and support projects in North America. 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 ForIntermediate 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.
