Salary Range: $108,000.00 To $141,800.00 AnnuallyAre you looking to join an industry leader and pioneer in the world of robotics and AI?Novarc Technologies is a Vancouver-based full-stack robotics and AI company specializing in the design and commercialization of cobots and AI systems for robotic welding applications. As a Canadian pioneer in the field of cooperative robotics, Novarc has a dedicated team of engineers and scientists eager to solve challenging industrial automation problems. Novarc’s flagship product Spool Welding Robot (SWR) is the world’s first welding cobot.Novarc’s SWR has already won multiple industry awards, been featured in top publications, and generated significant revenue). Our diverse team consists of engineers, developers, technicians, welders, scientists who are designing and building the welding industry’s most advanced automation solutions with the passion of helping our customers win.About the Role: Our never-before-seen welding cobots require customization and R&D.; We are looking for a Robotic Programmer to join our growing team and support the development and growth of our cobots.As a Robotic Programmer, reporting to the Director of Robotics, you will be responsible for developing amazing new features (from classic motion control all the way to artificial‑intelligence‑driven features) and troubleshooting the off‑the‑shelf robots (like Yaskawa) integrated with our welding intelligence package (known as NovAI).



You are a critical link in the team and your creativity and knowledge will enable the continued success of our robots!Duties and Responsibilities:Design and implement robot programs via text‑based robotic softwares such as INFORM or MotoPlus for real‑time control of Yaskawa robot controllers (e.G. YRC1000, DX200, DX100)Develop robot programs by teaching points and adjusting parameters, coordinates, movement types ensuring precision, efficiency, and compliance with industry standardsCell design and reach analysis by using robotic CAD softwareHardware selection, testing, and integration of components such as sensors, analog devices, for interlocks of robotic cellsTroubleshooting and thorough debugging of robotic programs, diagnosing and resolving software or hardware issues to improve system performance and reliabilityWork with controls, electrical, mechanical engineers, and also welders to integrate robotic systems with sensors, vision systems, and other automation equipmentDebug and commission control systems at our facility, during the system integration stage, and then at the customer’s site during installationGet to the root of one‑time and repeating Customer Service issues and implement long‑term, sustainable solutions.Create and maintain programming documentation, control narratives,



and user manuals for robotic systemsConduct in‑house demos for on site and/or remote customersTravel as required to customer and supplier sites to perform installation, commissioning, and training dutiesOther responsibilities as assignedMinimum Required Qualifications and Experience:Bachelor's degree or diploma in Electrical or welding or similar disciplinesMinimum 1 years experience with robot programming languages especially “Inform” and CIO ladder logicMinimum 2 years experience with robotic CAD such as MotosimMinimum 3 years of experience with C and/or C++ programmingMinimum 4 years of experience with robotic SDKs such as MotoPlusExperience integrating a robot with a third party PC/PLCFamiliarity with Robot Operating Systems (ROS) and/or other robotics middleware frameworksFamiliarity with trajectory memorization and toolpath optimization for minimal mechanical stress, energy efficiency, and time.Algorithmic thinking and the ability to devise and implement control techniques inside robot programsStrong communication and documentation skillsStrong organizational and time management skillsStrategic, critical thinking, and analytical skills for structured problem‑solving rather than band‑aid fixes.Preferred Additional Qualifications:Experience in commissioning and installationFamiliarity with weldingSchedule: Core hours: Monday to Friday, 8am-5pm (PST)Flexibility to work outside of 8-5 when needed to support remote installs in North America or outside North America in other time zones#J-18808-Ljbffr
