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 current 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.
