Industrial Automation Cell Programmer -- ABB RAPID & TwinCAT 3

Atlas Fibre

Job Description

Job Description

Industrial Automation Cell Programmer — ABB RAPID & TwinCAT 3 Is this you?

  • Do you enjoy writing ABB RAPID code and seeing robots execute precisely what you designed?
  • Can you craft clean Structured Text in TwinCAT 3 and integrate it with field devices over EtherCAT?
  • Are you at your best when commissioning cells on the manufacturing floor—hands on the teach pendant, laptop on the cart?
  • Do you thrive on diagnosing faults, validating interlocks, and restoring cells to production quickly?
What you'll take on
  • Program and commission ABB industrial robots end to end.
  • Develop Beckhoff PLC applications (TwinCAT 3) with Structured Text.
  • Integrate robots, PLCs, sensors, actuators, and auxiliary equipment into complete, production-ready cells.
  • Configure and troubleshoot EtherCAT networks and devices.
  • Lead projects from development through production commissioning, directly on the manufacturing floor.
  • Design robust sequences, interlocks, fault handling, and recovery routines.
  • Interpret electrical schematics to debug industrial control issues.
Who should apply

Engineers who love building and debugging automation. This is not a primarily project-management or pure electrical design role—it’s a robotics and controls engineering position that lives on the line.

Required experience
  • ABB robot programming and commissioning with strong RAPID proficiency.
  • Beckhoff controls and TwinCAT 3; PLC programming in Structured Text.
  • EtherCAT configuration and troubleshooting.
  • Systems integration across robots, PLCs, sensors, and actuators.
  • On-floor commissioning and troubleshooting of automation equipment.
  • Electrical schematic reading and industrial controls troubleshooting.
  • Automation sequencing, interlocks, fault handling, and recovery expertise.
  • Experience moving projects from development to production commissioning.
Preferred experience
  • ABB RobotStudio and SafeMove.
  • Beckhoff TwinSAFE; servo and motion control on Beckhoff platforms.
  • CNC machine-tool integration or robotic tending.
  • Machine vision (Cognex, Keyence, ABB Vision, or comparable).
  • OPC UA, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, MQTT, or similar industrial protocols.
  • Python, C#, C++, or comparable programming background.
  • Automated pallet/tool handling, CMMs, and inspection systems.
  • Multi-robot or multi-machine cell experience.
  • Digital twin/offline simulation tools.
Proficiencies we look for
  • PLC troubleshooting and programming
  • Industrial and manufacturing engineering
  • Industrial robot programming
  • Troubleshooting industrial automation equipment
  • Machine vision programming
  • Electrical/electronic systems
  • Industrial electrical experience and systems
  • Electrical schematic reading
Tech you’ll work with
  • Beckhoff PLCs
  • Vision systems
  • Servo motors
  • ABB industrial robots
