Robot Simulation information

What is the difference between Robot Simulation vs Robot Programmer?

AspectRobot SimulationRobot Programmer
Required CredentialsEngineering degree, CAD/Simulation software skillsEngineering or computer science degree, programming skills
Work EnvironmentDesign labs, simulation software environmentsManufacturing floors, robotics labs, programming environments
Industry UsageTesting, designing, and validating robot behaviors virtuallyWriting, testing, and deploying robot control code
Common Search IntentUnderstanding virtual robot testing and designLearning robot programming and control development

Robot Simulation focuses on creating virtual models and testing robot behaviors using simulation software, while Robot Programmer involves writing and implementing code to control physical robots. Both roles require technical skills but differ in their focus—virtual testing versus real-world programming.

Is robotics a high paying career?

Robotics is generally considered a high-paying career, especially for roles such as robot simulation engineers or automation specialists, with salaries often exceeding the national average for engineering jobs. Advanced skills in programming, control systems, and experience with simulation tools like ROS or MATLAB can lead to higher compensation, particularly in industries like manufacturing, aerospace, and research. However, salaries vary based on experience, education, location, and industry demand.

Job description

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 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
