Are you passionate about programming robots to perform precise, automated tasks? Do you have the technical expertise to write, test, and optimize code that controls robotic movements, logic, and responses? If you're ready to be the mind behind intelligent, responsive machines, our client has the ideal role for you. We're looking for a Robot Programmer (aka The Code Conductor) to program and calibrate robots for diverse applications, from manufacturing and warehousing to autonomous navigation. As a Robot Programmer at our client , you'll work closely with robotic engineers and production teams to develop and refine code for robotic arms, autonomous vehicles, and other robotic systems. Your work will be crucial in ensuring robots operate smoothly, safely, and efficiently, helping the organization achieve automation goals. Key Responsibilities: Develop and Implement Robotic Programs: Write, test, and deploy code for various robotic platforms and applications, ensuring efficient and accurate operation. You'll program robots to execute precise movements, sequences, and logic. Optimize Motion and Path Planning: Design and refine algorithms for smooth motion control and optimized path planning. You'll minimize cycle times while maintaining precision, particularly in dynamic or confined spaces. Calibrate and Fine-Tune Robotic Systems: Calibrate robotic systems to ensure accuracy, repeatability, and safety. You'll adjust parameters, troubleshoot alignment issues, and ensure all system components work harmoniously. Collaborate on System Integration and Hardware Compatibility: Work with hardware, electrical, and software teams to ensure seamless integration of robotic code with system hardware. You'll verify compatibility across platforms and maintain efficient data flow. Conduct On-Site Testing and Troubleshooting: Perform on-site testing to validate code performance under real-world conditions. You'll troubleshoot issues, collect feedback, and adjust programs for optimal operation in various environments. Document Code and Programming Procedures: Maintain detailed documentation of code, programming processes, and calibration settings. You'll ensure that programs are accessible for future reference, updates, and maintenance. Stay Updated on Robotic Programming Tools and Languages: Continuously learn about advancements in programming tools, robotic languages (e.g., RAPID, KRL, FANUC TP), and methodologies. You'll bring new ideas to the table to enhance programming efficiency. Requirements Required Skills: Proficiency in Robot Programming Languages: Strong knowledge of robot programming languages, including RAPID (ABB), KRL (KUKA), FANUC TP, or similar, with experience in developing precise control scripts. Control Theory and Path Planning: Familiarity with control algorithms and path planning to enable smooth, efficient robot motion. Experience with PLCs and HMI Systems: Understanding of PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) and Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) for integrating robotic systems with broader control environments. Programming Skills in Python or C++: Experience in Python, C++, or other high-level languages used for robotic software development and customization. Analytical and Problem-Solving Skills: Ability to troubleshoot and optimize robotic code for real-world performance, including handling unexpected scenarios and dynamic environments. Educational Requirements: Bachelor's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field. Equivalent experience in robot programming may be considered. Certifications or specialized training in robotic programming or automation systems are advantageous. Experience Requirements: 3 years of experience in robotic programming, with a focus on manufacturing, automation, or industrial robotics. Experience with robotic systems such as ABB, FANUC, KUKA, or UR, and familiarity with their specific programming languages and operating environments. Familiarity with industrial safety standards and protocols for robotic systems is a plus. Benefits Health and Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance plans with low co-pays and premiums. Paid Time Off: Competitive vacation, sick leave, and 20 paid holidays per year. Work-Life Balance: Flexible work schedules and telecommuting options. Professional Development: Opportunities for training, certification reimbursement, and career advancement programs. Wellness Programs: Access to wellness programs, including gym memberships, health screenings, and mental health resources. Life and Disability Insurance: Life insurance and short-term/long-term disability coverage. Employee Assistance Program (EAP): Confidential counseling and support services for personal and professional challenges. Tuition Reimbursement: Financial assistance for continuing education and professional development. Community Engagement: Opportunities to participate in community service and volunteer activities. Recognition Programs: Employee recognition programs to celebrate achievements and milestones.
