Job Description

As an Experienced Robot Programmer, you will play a key role in developing 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 integration 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 during technical challenges, both in the project phase and during customer support
• Ensuring that solutions meet high requirements for functionality, quality, and safety

Examples of tasks during a typical week:

• Participate in tendering by developing technical solutions and calculations for customer facilities
• Work in project teams at the office with design, programming, and testing of robot applications
• Perform troubleshooting at customer sites to quickly resolve operational issues and minimize production downtime
• Be deployed to customers to strengthen their organization and contribute your expertise

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

You will become part of an engaged team with a strong sense of collaboration where everyone helps each other. The work environment is flexible, with the possibility to combine office work and remote work as needed.

Qualifications

Collaboration is crucial – you 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, meaning you think logically and exude calm and confidence even in pressured situations. Finally, you are driven and ambitious – you take initiative and step into the role of lead programmer when required.

Requirements

• At least 5 years of experience in programming robot applications
• Documented experience in simulation, programming, and commissioning of robots from manufacturers ABB, KUKA, Yaskawa, or Fanuc
• Relevant technical education in automation, mechatronics, or equivalent
• Knowledge in simulation, programming, and commissioning of robots
• Swedish, both oral and written
• Valid driver's license (Category B)

Merits

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