Contract Yaskawa Robot Programmer – Michigan, USA – Immediate Start – 4–6 Weeks (Likely Extension)

We’re looking for an experienced Yaskawa Robot Programmer to support the commissioning of a high‑profile material handling automation project based in Michigan.

This is a hands‑on, short‑term contract with strong potential to extend into the installation phase later this year. If you’re confident commissioning robots in a live production environment and enjoy being part of a fast‑moving integration team, this is an excellent opportunity.

• Programming and commissioning Yaskawa robots within a multi‑robot material handling cell
• Supporting integration of collaborative robots and vision‑guided automation systems
• Debugging, optimising and ensuring reliable cycle performance
• Working closely with controls and mechanical teams to deliver a fully operational system
• Supporting final commissioning activities ahead of production handover

• Proven experience programming Yaskawa robots in an industrial environment
• Strong commissioning experience on automated manufacturing or material handling systems
• Ability to troubleshoot and resolve issues independently on the shop floor
• Comfortable working in a fast‑paced integration environment
• Availability for an immediate start

• Duration: 4–6 weeks initially, with strong likelihood of extension
• Hours:
  
  45–50 hours per week, Monday to Friday
• Start time flexibility (early start options available)
• No travel required for the initial contract phase
• Must have the right to work in the USA.

This is a great opportunity to get involved in a well‑structured automation project with a respected integration team and the potential to continue through installation and beyond.

If you’re a Yaskawa specialist available now or becoming available soon, we’d like to hear from you.
