Required Qualifications

  • 5+ years of FANUC robot programming experience in industrial automation.

  • Strong experience programming with FANUC KAREL.

  • Experience with FANUC Teach Pendant (TP) programming.

  • Strong understanding of industrial networking and communications.

  • Experience troubleshooting robotic cells during startup and production.

  • Ability to read electrical drawings and robot layouts.

  • Willingness to travel and work onsite in South Carolina and Texas.
