Robot Programmer - Vision Systems

Since 1983 HTI Cybernetics has provided intelligent manufacturing solutions that support and enhance production including automation systems material handling solutions assembly tooling and collaborative robotics.

The Robot Programmer with Vision Systems experience is responsible for developing programming and supporting robotic automation in a manufacturing environment. This role emphasizes implementing vision-guided robotic applications for material handling welding assembly and quality inspection. The position ensures production efficiency consistency and reliability by integrating robots and vision systems into automated work cells.

Primary Responsibilities:

Provide training and support for operators maintenance and production staff on robotic and vision systems.

Identify opportunities for automation improvements and implement cost-saving solutions.

Programming & Integration

Develop test and optimize robot programs for industrial robots (e.g. FANUC ABB Yaskawa Universal Robots).

Configure and integrate vision systems (e.g. Cognex Keyence FANUC iRVision SICK) for part detection orientation and quality inspection.

Program vision-guided robotics for pick-and-place welding seam tracking and automated inspection tasks.

Develop and implement error-proofing part verification and traceability systems using vision tools.

System Development & Deployment

Collaborate with mechanical controls and process engineers to design and deploy robotic work cells in production lines.
Create and maintain documentation for programs processes and troubleshooting guides.
Participate in cell simulation and offline programming (ROBOGUIDE RobotStudio Process Simulate or similar).
Support commissioning installation and validation of robotic systems at plant sites.

Troubleshooting & Continuous Improvement

Diagnose and resolve programming integration and cycle-time issues.
Perform ongoing optimization of robot motion paths cycle times and vision algorithms to maximize throughput and reliability.

Requirements

Education/Skills Required:

Associates or Bachelors degree in Robotics Electrical Engineering Mechanical Engineering Automation Technology or related field (or equivalent experience).
35 years of experience programming industrial robots in a manufacturing environment.
Hands-on experience integrating and troubleshooting vision-guided robotic applications.

Technical Skills

Proficiency with at least one major robot platform (FANUC ABB Yaskawa Universal Robots).
Strong knowledge of industrial vision systems (Cognex. Matrox Keyence FANUC iRVisionor similar).
Familiarity with welding automation material handling assembly or inspection processes.
Experience with PLCs HMIs and industrial communication protocols (Ethernet/IP Profinet).
Ability to read and interpret electrical and mechanical schematics.

Other Skills

Strong problem-solving and root-cause analysis abilities.
Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
Ability to work in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and adapt to changing priorities.
Willingness to travel occasionally for system installation and support.
