Job Description

As an Experienced Robot Programmer, you will play a key role in the development of advanced automation solutions for industrial facilities. You will be responsible for creating efficient, safe, and reliable robot applications that meet customer needs. The role is technically challenging and varied, with tasks spanning the entire project lifecycle. 

Your main responsibilities: 

• System design and programming of robot applications for various industrial processes 
• Integration with PLC, HMI, and SCADA systems to ensure a complete automation solution 
• Commissioning and optimization of robot cells and associated control systems 
• Troubleshooting and problem-solving for technical challenges, both during the project phase and in customer support 
• Ensuring that solutions meet high standards for functionality, quality, and safety 

Examples of tasks during a typical week: 

• Participate in bidding processes by developing technical solutions and cost estimates for customer facilities 
• Work in project teams at the office on the design, programming, and testing of robot applications 
• Perform troubleshooting at the customer site to quickly resolve operational issues and minimize production downtime 
• Be seconded to a customer to strengthen their organization and contribute your expertise 

The role offers the freedom to develop based on your interests. You can become a versatile resource who supports colleagues and customers, or choose to specialize in a narrower field and become an expert in, for example, advanced robotics, vision systems, or safety solutions.

You’ll be part of a dedicated team with a strong sense of collaboration where everyone helps each other. The work environment is flexible, with the option to combine office work and remote work as needed. 

Qualifications

Collaboration is crucial—you’ll work closely with colleagues, suppliers, and subcontractors to achieve common goals. Communication is equally important; you express yourself clearly and simply, share relevant information, and actively seek it out when needed. You need to have high stress tolerance, which means you think logically and exude calm and confidence even in high-pressure situations. Finally, you are driven and ambitious – you take the initiative and step into the role of lead programmer on your own when required. 

Requirements 

• At least 5 years of experience programming robot applications 
• Documented experience in simulation, programming, and commissioning of robots from ABB, KUKA, Yaskawa, or Fanuc
• Relevant technical education in automation, mechatronics, or equivalent
• Knowledge of simulation, programming, and commissioning of robots
• Swedish, both spoken and written
• Class B driver’s license

Desirable 

• Experience in programming PLC, HMI, and SCADA systems 
• Knowledge of PLC and SCADA systems such as ABB, Siemens, Allen Bradley, Intouch, Citect, Ignition
• Specialization in robotics or industrial automation
• English, both spoken and written
