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

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.

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

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

KUKA, Yaskawa or ABB experience

Servo resistance welding

Spot welding

Arc welding

Technical leadership or mentorship experience

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.

$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.
