Automation & Robotics Engineer
Industrial Automation Australia (part of the AMM Engineering Group) | Eagle Farm, Brisbane | Full-time
Iron Man had Jarvis. You'll be building the real thing.
This isn't your standard "maintenance tech" role. We're after a different breed: someone who gets a rush from writing code, watching a simulation come alive, and then standing on the factory floor seeing it run shift after shift.
Most engineers can follow a manual. Very few can create something new. But you? You're obsessed with making machines move — through code, wiring, and problem-solving. That's exactly who thrives at Industrial Automation Australia.
We design and deliver the systems that keep Aussie industry competitive — robots that weld, cut, pack, and handle. From simulation in the office to sparks on the workshop floor, this is hands-on robotics.
What you'll be doing
* Program KUKA, ABB, Fanuc, and UR robots to weld, cut, pack, and handle
* Simulate and optimise before stepping on site (RobotStudio, KUKA.Sim, RoboGuide, RobotDK)
* Integrate conveyors, sensors, PLCs, HMIs, and safety systems
* Wire and commission panels, drives, and networks
* Run FATs/SATs, documenting and resolving issues
* Train operators and techs to run systems safely
* Prepare project documentation and manage version control
* Support clients with aftercare and continuous improvements
What we're looking for
* 3+ years' experience programming industrial robots
* Fluent in at least one robot language (KUKA KRL, ABB RAPID, Fanuc TP, UR Polyscope)
* Real-world commissioning experience in factory environments
* Strong understanding of PLCs, HMIs, and wiring
* Detail-obsessed — because one missed line of code = one broken cycle
* Excited by building automation that changes how factories run
What's in it for you
* Real projects with real ownership
* Diverse automation: welding, packaging, handling, custom cells
* Career paths into senior engineer, technical lead, or specialisations like vision and AI robotics
* A collaborative crew of engineers, electricians, and fabricators
* Competitive pay + travel allowances
* Bragging rights: "Yeah, I program robots that run factories."
How to apply
Send us your CV — but don't stop there. Show us what you've actually built:
- A robot cell you programmed
- A panel you wired
- A simulation you created
- A system you commissioned on-site
A screenshot, photo, or short video is enough. We're engineers — we'll know what we're looking at. Think of it as your chance to say: "This is mine. I built this. I made this machine run."
