Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced FANUC Robot Programmer / Developer with strong KAREL programming experience to support the development, integration, and installation of advanced robotic automation systems.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex automation challenges, developing custom robot functionality, and working alongside controls engineers, PLC programmers, and manufacturing teams.


Responsibilities

  • Develop and modify FANUC robot programs using both Teach Pendant (TP) and KAREL programming.

  • Design and implement custom KAREL applications to extend robot functionality beyond standard TP capabilities.

  • Travel to customer sites for installation and production support.


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.

  • Ability to develop robot applications from the ground up rather than modifying existing code.

  • Experience integrating robots with PLC-controlled manufacturing systems.

  • 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.
