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

FANUC Robot Programmer / Developer (KAREL)

Location: South Carolina (Through November 2026) → Texas (December 2026 Installation)
Job Type: Contract | Travel Required

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 position will begin at our South Carolina facility through November, where the successful candidate will develop and test robotic applications before traveling to Texas in December for final installation, startup, and commissioning.

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.
  • Program complete robotic applications from concept through production startup.
  • Integrate robots with PLCs, HMIs, vision systems, barcode scanners, RFID readers, and other industrial peripherals.
  • Configure and troubleshoot robot communications using protocols such as:
    • EtherNet/IP
    • TCP/IP
    • PROFINET
    • Serial Communications
  • Support robot startup, commissioning, debugging, and production optimization.
  • Diagnose and resolve software, communication, and hardware issues during integration.
  • Collaborate with controls engineers, project managers, and customers throughout project execution.
  • Document programming changes, software revisions, and commissioning activities.
  • 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.
Preferred Experience
  • FANUC iRVision
  • Barcode scanner integration
  • RFID integration
  • SQL or database connectivity
  • Socket messaging
  • Background in automotive or high-volume manufacturing
  • Robot simulation experience (ROBOGUIDE or similar)
