Senior Robot Programmer – FANUC / Welding Automation

Senior Robot Programmer – FANUC / Welding Automation

Location: KWC Area, Ontario | On-Site
Employment Type: Full-Time | Permanent
Compensation: $45–$52/hour
Schedule: Flexible 4-Day Compressed Work Week

Take the Lead on Complex Robotic Automation

We’re partnering confidentially with a growing custom automation and systems integration organization seeking an experienced Robot Programmer to take technical ownership of sophisticated robotic systems used in advanced manufacturing.

This is a senior, hands-on role for someone with deep FANUC programming experience who enjoys solving complex automation problems, commissioning equipment and seeing a robotic cell through from programming to production.

You’ll work primarily across robotic welding and material-handling applications , while also helping develop junior programmers and improve programming standards across future projects.

What You’ll Own

- Program and commission FANUC robotic systems
- Develop robot paths, program structures and offline programs
- Configure robot I/O, weld interfaces and PLC communications
- Support servo resistance, arc and spot welding applications
- Program material-handling applications
- Troubleshoot complex robotic and automation issues
- Configure communications and network architecture between automation devices
- Support installation, startup and commissioning at customer facilities
- Read and interpret electrical schematics and mechanical drawings
- Support development of robot templates and programming architecture
- Mentor junior Robot Programmers and provide technical guidance
- Work closely with Controls, Mechanical, Electrical and Project teams throughout delivery

What We’re Looking For

Required

- 7+ years of hands-on robot programming experience
- Strong FANUC programming expertise
- Significant experience within custom automation
- Hands-on robotic welding and/or material-handling experience
- Strong understanding of robotic coordinate systems and program flow
- Experience commissioning robotic cells
- Strong troubleshooting capability
- Familiarity with offline robot programming/simulation
- Working knowledge of industrial communications such as Ethernet/IP
- Ability to interpret electrical schematics and technical drawings
- Valid driver's license and passport
- Ability to travel to customer facilities across North America

Highly Valued

- KUKA, Yaskawa or ABB experience
- Servo resistance welding
- Spot welding
- Arc welding
- Automotive automation
- Robot safety systems and standards
- PLC/HMI exposure
- Technical leadership or mentorship experience

Who Will Thrive Here?

You’re the programmer people turn to when a robotic cell isn't behaving the way it should.

You can move comfortably between offline programming, robot setup, welding applications, troubleshooting and commissioning , and you understand the realities of getting custom automation running successfully on a production floor.

You also enjoy sharing what you know and helping less experienced programmers become stronger technically.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

- $45–$52/hour , based on experience
- 4-day compressed work week
- Profit sharing
- Group RRSP matching
- Extended health and vision coverage
- Health and wellness spending account
- Professional development funding
- Safety boot and tool allowance
- Technical mentorship and continued training
- Opportunity to work on challenging, custom-built automation rather than repetitive equipment

The source confirms the compensation, compressed work week, profit sharing and broader benefits package.
