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 recent 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 solid 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
