Robot Programmer

Join Matrix Design At Matrix Design, our promise is simple:
Developing Great People, Building a Great Company, and Delivering Great Results. We tackle complex automation challenges across industries, and we succeed because we put the right people in the right seats—people who love solving hard problems together.

A day in this role Picture your morning on a customer floor: you arrive to commission a new robotic cell. You connect with the project manager and controls engineer, verify I/O, load a FANUC program, and fine-tune path speeds. After lunch, you integrate the HMI with a safety PLC, calibrate a Cognex vision system for feature detection, and run test cycles.

You document changes, update schematics, and leave the site safer and more productive than you found it. The next day may bring ABB or Yaskawa programming back at our facility, preventative maintenance on a pick-and-place line, or a troubleshooting call that tests your ingenuity. That variety—and the impact you have on manufacturing performance—is the heart of this job.

What you’ll own Installation & Commissioning – Install, configure, and prove out robotic and automated systems to engineering specifications; support on-site startups at customer facilities.

System Support & Maintenance – Execute preventive maintenance, perform repairs, and diagnose issues spanning robots, PLCs, HMIs, and peripheral equipment.

Programming & Optimization – Assist with programming, calibration, cycle-time tuning, and continuous improvement of robotic cells and subsystems.

Documentation, Safety & Collaboration – Record maintenance and troubleshooting steps, update schematics and logs, uphold all safety standards, and partner closely with engineers and project managers.
