Original job description

About Ascension Automation Solutions

Established in 2013, Ascension Automation Solutions are experts in industrial robotics with a specialization in robotic manufacturing applications. We deliver end-to-end automation solutions, from system design and build to commissioning, integration, and ongoing service. Our team thrives on solving complex challenges across custom automation, machine retrofit, and advanced manufacturing environments.

We are currently seeking Senior Robot Programmers with strong commissioning expertise and experience supporting complex, integrated robotic systems.

Position Overview

The Senior Robot Programmer is responsible for the programming, commissioning, startup, and optimization of robotic automation systems ranging from single-robot cells to fully integrated, multi-robot production lines.

This role requires hands-on experience in full system commissioning, including debugging mechanical, electrical, and process interactions in real-world production environments. The ideal candidate brings a strong understanding of complex manufacturing processes, and the ability to independently drive systems from installation through successful production handoff.

Key Responsibilities

Program and configure robotic systems including Fanuc, ABB, and Yaskawa / Motoman platforms across industrial applications
Lead and execute full system commissioning, including system bring-up, IO validation, process tuning, and production readiness
Troubleshoot and resolve complex system-level issues involving robot logic, PLC interaction, tooling, and process variables
Work across advanced applications such as spot welding, MIG welding, dispensing/sealing, material handling, and integrated vision systems
Commission and optimize robot-integrated vision systems, ensuring accuracy and repeatability in production environments
Support new builds in Cambridge, and support installations at customers facilities
Support system startup at customer sites, including cycle time optimization, fault recovery, and production stabilization
Perform and support pre-shipment validation and quality inspections to ensure systems meet internal and customer specifications
Clearly communicate and document mechanical, electrical, and process-related issues, providing actionable feedback to engineering and build teams
Generate and maintain documentation to support quality and compliance requirements
Adhere to all internal and customer safety standards and safe work practices
Required Experience & Technical Qualifications
Extensive hands-on commissioning experience with industrial robotic systems in production environments
Proven ability to work with complex, multi-robot systems and integrated automation lines
Strong understanding of manufacturing processes such as welding, sealing, dispensing, or material handling, including process tuning and optimization
Experience troubleshooting across robot, PLC, tooling, and process layers
Proficiency with major robot platforms including ABB, Fanuc, and Yaskawa / Motoman (additional experience with KUKA or Nachi considered an asset)
Experience with robotic vision systems (e.g., Fanuc iRVision) preferred
Experience working with major OEM standards (e.g., automotive specifications such as GRS) is an asset

Education

Diploma or Bachelor’s degree in Automation, Electrical, or Mechanical Engineering Technology, or related field
Equivalent hands-on experience will be considered

Compensation

Base Rate: $36.00 – $50.00 CAD/hour, plus applicable overtime
Compensation aligned with experience and technical specialization
Highly experienced industry specialists may be eligible for rates above $50.00 CAD/hour based on project requirements

Travel & Work Environment

This will be a primarily in office position, with up to 20% travel almost exclusively within Canada
Work performed in a mix of shop, field, and customer production environments
Flexibility to work varied shifts, including days, nights, weekends, and extended hours during commissioning and startup phases

Job Types: Full-time, Permanent
