Fanuc Robot Programming Engineer

About the Role

Fanuc Robot Programming Engineer

Fanuc TP programming

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 Responsibilities

• Develop, 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 & Qualifications

• 3+ 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 Skills

• Knowledge 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 Background

• Bachelor’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 Integration

Objective:

Part 1 – Fanuc Logic (Text or Screenshot)

Fanuc TP or KAREL code snippet

• 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 Communication

Python program

• 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 Offer

• Competitive 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.
