Fanuc Robot Programming Engineer

About the RoleWe are looking for a Fanuc Robot Programming Engineer with a passion for industrial automation and hands-on experience in Fanuc industrial robots (R-series, M-series) and Fanuc CRX collaborative robots. The ideal candidate will be proficient in Fanuc TP programming, KAREL scripting, PLC communication (EtherNet/IP or Modbus), and Python-based automation for robot-cell integration and data handling.You’ll be joining a high-performance engineering team building next-generation sanding, polishing, and material-handling robotic systems. The work involves integrating robots with PLCs, sensors, cameras, and AI-based Python applications.Key ResponsibilitiesDevelop, debug, and optimize Fanuc robot programs (CRX & Industrial models).Write TP and KAREL code for motion control, I/O, safety logic, and peripheral communication.Configure and integrate PLC systems (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Omron) with Fanuc controllers.Use Python for automation scripts, data logging, and REST or socket communication between robot and PC.Calibrate and optimize robot trajectories using vision or coordinate-based systems.Troubleshoot robot-cell integration issues involving cameras, conveyors, sensors, or safety PLCs.Collaborate with the mechanical and electrical teams to deploy robotic systems in production.Required Skills & Qualifications3+ years of experience programming and deploying Fanuc robots in industrial or manufacturing settings.Strong understanding of Fanuc TP language and KAREL scripting.Proficiency in Python for scripting and API integration.Experience with PLC programming (EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, etc.).Familiarity with Fanuc CRX cobots, industrial safety standards, and vision systems (optional but valuable).Strong problem-solving skills and hands-on debugging ability.Comfortable working with electrical schematics and control panel layouts.Preferred SkillsKnowledge of Socket Messaging (TCP/IP) and RESTful communication between robot and PC.Experience with Fanuc ROBOGUIDE simulation.Experience integrating robots into custom Python automation frameworks.Exposure to field commissioning, cycle-time optimization, and robot maintenance.Educational BackgroundBachelor’s or Diploma in Electrical / Mechatronics / Automation Engineering or equivalent hands-on industrial robotics experience.Technical Assignment (Must Be Submitted via Email)To evaluate your real-world coding and integration skills, please complete the following assignment:Assignment: Robot–Python IntegrationObjective: Demonstrate both Fanuc and Python programming understanding.Part 1 – Fanuc Logic (Text or Screenshot)Write (or outline) a Fanuc TP or KAREL code snippet that:Moves the robot between Point A → Point B → Point C with blending.Uses a register variable for speed control.Triggers a DO[1] (digital output) when reaching Point C. (Pseudocode or screenshot from RoboGuide is acceptable.)Part 2 – Python Socket CommunicationWrite a short Python program that:Connects to the Fanuc robot over TCP/IP.Sends a simple JSON command like: {"command": "move", "target": "P1", "speed": 100}Waits for a reply message such as "ACK: move complete" and prints it.(You can simulate the robot with localhost socket communication if you don’t have access to hardware.)Submission:Combine both parts (Fanuc + Python) in one PDF or text file.Include your name, contact, and any relevant project links (GitHub, portfolio, etc.).Email to nipung@vancouverautomation.com with the subject: “Application – Fanuc Robot Programming Engineer – [Your Name]”What We OfferCompetitive compensation and project-based bonuses.Exposure to cutting-edge robotics and AI automation systems.Opportunity to work on live industrial deployments.Growth into senior robotics engineer or system integrator roles.
