Brisbane, Queensland, Australia AMM Engineering Pty Ltd Full time $90,000 - $120,000 per year

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."
