Job description

Robot Programmer – Contract / Immediate Need

This is an immediate contract opportunity for a strong Robot Programmer to support automated robot cells across two manufacturing plants. The role will focus on maintaining, troubleshooting, programming, and optimizing production robotic systems, with the current robot mix consisting of approximately 60% FANUC robots, 30% KUKA robots, and 10% Universal Robots cobots.

The robot cells use a significant amount of FANUC iRVision, so hands-on experience with robotic vision systems is highly preferred. This contract could potentially turn into a longer-term role based on performance, business needs, or future direct-hire decisions.

Responsibilities

  • Program, troubleshoot, and optimize FANUC robots, KUKA robots, and Universal Robots cobots across multiple automated manufacturing cells.
  • Support robot cells between both plant locations to improve uptime, cycle time, quality, and overall equipment performance.
  • Diagnose and resolve issues related to robot programming, robot motion, teach pendant programming, path optimization, and production faults.
  • Work extensively with FANUC iRVision systems, including vision setup, calibration support, troubleshooting, and process adjustments.
  • Modify and improve existing robot programs to support production changes, quality improvements, and automation efficiency.
  • Support robotic cell commissioning, debugging, recovery, and continuous improvement activities.
  • Collaborate with maintenance, controls, engineering, and production teams to resolve automation issues quickly.
  • Assist with robotic process improvements involving end-of-arm tooling, part presentation, vision guidance, and robotic pick-and-place or material handling applications.
  • Document program changes, troubleshooting steps, and recommended improvements as needed.
  • Provide hands-on support in a fast-paced manufacturing environment with an immediate need for reliable robot programming expertise.

Qualifications

  • Hands-on experience as a Robot Programmer, Robotics Technician, Automation Technician, or similar role in a manufacturing environment.
  • Strong programming and troubleshooting experience with FANUC robots required.
  • Experience with FANUC iRVision strongly preferred.
  • Working knowledge of KUKA robot programming and troubleshooting highly desired.
  • Experience with Universal Robots cobots or collaborative robot systems preferred.
  • Ability to read, modify, and troubleshoot robot programs using a teach pendant.
  • Experience supporting automated robot cells, robotic work cells, or industrial automation equipment.
  • Strong understanding of robot safety, recovery procedures, motion programming, frames, tooling, and vision-guided robotics.
  • Ability to support multiple plant locations as needed.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently in an urgent production support environment.
  • Contract availability for an immediate start preferred.
