Senior Robot Programmer - FANUC / Welding Automation

Senior Robot Programmer – FANUC / Welding Automation

Location: KWC Area, Ontario | On-Site
Employment Type: Full-Time | Permanent
Compensation: $45–$52/hour
Schedule: Flexible 4-Day Compressed Work Week

Take the Lead on Complex Robotic Automation

We’re partnering confidentially with a growing custom automation and systems integration organization seeking an experienced Robot Programmer to take technical ownership of sophisticated robotic systems used in advanced manufacturing.

This is a senior, hands-on role for someone with deep FANUC programming experience who enjoys solving complex automation problems, commissioning equipment and seeing a robotic cell through from programming to production.

You’ll work primarily across robotic welding and material-handling applications , while also helping develop junior programmers and improve programming standards across future projects.

What You’ll Own

• Program and commission FANUC robotic systems

• Develop robot paths, program structures and offline programs

• Configure robot I/O, weld interfaces and PLC communications

• Support servo resistance, arc and spot welding applications

• Program material-handling applications

• Troubleshoot complex robotic and automation issues

• Configure communications and network architecture between automation devices

• Support installation, startup and commissioning at customer facilities

• Read and interpret electrical schematics and mechanical drawings

• Support development of robot templates and programming architecture

• Mentor junior Robot Programmers and provide technical guidance

• Work closely with Controls, Mechanical, Electrical and Project teams throughout delivery

What We’re Looking For

Required

• 7+ years of hands-on robot programming experience

• Strong FANUC programming expertise

• Significant experience within custom automation

• Hands-on robotic welding and/or material-handling experience

• Strong understanding of robotic coordinate systems and program flow

• Experience commissioning robotic cells

• Strong troubleshooting capability

• Familiarity with offline robot programming/simulation

• Working knowledge of industrial communications such as Ethernet/IP

• Ability to interpret electrical schematics and technical drawings

• Valid driver's license and passport

• Ability to travel to customer facilities across North America

Highly Valued

• KUKA, Yaskawa or ABB experience

• Servo resistance welding

• Spot welding

• Arc welding

• Automotive automation

• Robot safety systems and standards

• PLC/HMI exposure

• Technical leadership or mentorship experience

Who Will Thrive Here?

You’re the programmer people turn to when a robotic cell isn't behaving the way it should.

You can move comfortably between offline programming, robot setup, welding applications, troubleshooting and commissioning , and you understand the realities of getting custom automation running successfully on a production floor.

You also enjoy sharing what you know and helping less experienced programmers become stronger technically.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• $45–$52/hour , based on experience

• 4-day compressed work week

• Profit sharing

• Group RRSP matching

• Extended health and vision coverage

• Health and wellness spending account

• Professional development funding

• Safety boot and tool allowance

• Technical mentorship and continued training

• Opportunity to work on challenging, custom-built automation rather than repetitive equipment

The source confirms the compensation, compressed work week, profit sharing and broader benefits package.
