Job description

Robotics Technician (FANUC Preferred)


Location: Bartlett, IL
Pay: Up to $45/hour (Direct Hire)
Employment Type: Direct Hire or Contract-to-Hire


Join a Growing Custom Automation Company


We're partnering with a leading custom automation company that designs and builds automated systems for a variety of industries. They're looking for a Robotics Technician to support the installation, startup, troubleshooting, and commissioning of robotic automation systems throughout the Midwest and beyond.



What You'll Be Doing

When you're not traveling, you'll be based out of the Bartlett facility where you'll:

  • Support project planning and system readiness before equipment ships
  • Perform factory acceptance testing (FAT/SAT preparation)
  • Troubleshoot robotic systems and automation equipment
  • Assist engineering teams with system testing and project execution

When you're traveling (approximately 40%), you'll:

  • Commission robotic automation systems at customer facilities
  • Troubleshoot and edit existing robot programs (no programming from scratch required)
  • Support startups, installations, and customer acceptance testing (SAT)
  • Provide technical support while maintaining a professional, customer-focused attitude

Most travel is within Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and New York, typically lasting one to two weeks at a time. All travel expenses are reimbursed, and you'll have the option of using a personal or company credit card for travel.

What We're Looking For

  • 2+ years of experience working with industrial robots or automated manufacturing equipment
  • Experience troubleshooting and editing FANUC robots is highly preferred
  • Candidates with ABB, Universal Robots, Yaskawa, or similar robotic platforms are also encouraged to apply
  • Strong mechanical and electrical troubleshooting skills
  • Ability to read electrical schematics and mechanical drawings
  • Comfortable working directly with customers during equipment startups
  • Valid driver's license and ability to travel up to 40%

Nice to Have

  • Experience with Cognex or Keyence vision systems (training available if you don't have it)
  • Experience working in a manufacturing environment, OEM, or automation company
  • Fanuc programming

Why This Opportunity?


  • No robot programming from scratch required—focus on troubleshooting, editing, commissioning, and support
  • Opportunity to work on a wide variety of custom automation projects across multiple industries
  • Excellent career path with the opportunity to become FANUC Master Certified and advance into an Automation Engineer role within approximately 3-5 years
  • Consistent overtime available (typically 40-50 hours per week)
  • Stable, growing organization with exposure to cutting-edge automation technology

If you're looking for a hands-on robotics role where you'll work with customers, travel, and build your automation career, we'd love to hear from you.
