Robotic Programmer
for headings. Use - for lists. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details from each section.
Let's extract content:
ABOUT THE COMPANY: paragraph about JOST history etc.
POSITION OVERVIEW: paragraph about Robotic Programmer responsibilities.
AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY: bullet list (starting with "Include, but are not limited to:" then many items). We'll turn each item into
- .
Qualifications & Experience: paragraph about degree and experience.
Required Qualifications: bullet list.
Preferred Qualifications: bullet list.
Requirements: Actually there is a section titled "Requirements" after Preferred Qualifications? In the text: "Requirements REQUIRED SKILLS: ..." Wait there is a heading "Requirements" then "REQUIRED SKILLS:" then list. Then "Physical Requirements". Then "Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)". Then E-Verify etc.
So we need to map:
- Requirements heading: maybe we treat as "Requirements" section containing the REQUIRED SKILLS list and maybe also Physical Requirements and KPIs? But we have separate headings for Skills and Requirements. The instruction list includes Skills as a possible heading. So we can put REQUIRED SKILLS under Skills heading. Then Requirements heading can contain Physical Requirements and KPIs.
Thus:
About the role
(contains About the company? Actually About the role should be position overview. But we also have company info. Could we include company info under About the role? Might be okay but maybe better to have About the role include position overview only, and we could add a separate section for About the company? Not allowed headings. So we need to fit company info somewhere. Could we put it under About the role as a preamble? The heading "About the role" could include both company and position overview. That seems acceptable.
Thus About the role
then containing company description and position overview.
Then
Responsibilities
with list of responsibilities.
Then Qualifications
with maybe sub-sections? We can just put paragraphs for Qualifications & Experience, then for Required Qualifications, then for Preferred Qualifications.
Then Skills
with list of REQUIRED SKILLS.
Then Requirements
with for Physical Requirements and maybe
for KPIs? KPIs are bullet list? In text: "Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) Robot uptime and equipment availability.Reduction in production downtime.Cycle time improvements.Successful launch of automation projects.Quality and scrap reduction metrics.Safety compliance and incident prevention." It's a sentence with periods separating items. We can turn into list.
We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like E-Verify and Equal Opportunity Employer.
Now we need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract each piece.
Company description:
"For more than 70 years, JOST has been shaping the future of transportation with innovation, safety, and customer focus at its core. Founded in 1952 in Germany with the development of the first cast-steel fifth wheel, JOST has grown into a global leader supplying the commercial vehicle and agricultural industries with trusted, high-quality solutions. With its portfolio of leading brands — JOST, ROCKINGER, TRIDEC, Quicke, and Hyva — the company today is a Tier 1 supplier recognized worldwide for excellence in fifth wheels, landing gear, towing hitches, steering systems, front loaders, and hydraulic solutions. The 2025 acquisition of Hyva marked a significant milestone, expanding JOST’s reach into hydraulic cylinders, tippers and components for transport and waste handling, and strengthening its position across both On-Highway and Off-Highway applications. Headquartered in Germany with operations on five continents, JOST continues to drive industry standards through engineering expertise, a commitment to quality, and strong partnerships with OEMs and fleets around the world."
Position overview:
"The Robotic Programmer is responsible for programming, troubleshooting, optimizing, and maintaining industrial robots used in manufacturing processes. This role supports production by developing automated solutions that improve safety, quality, productivity, and efficiency. The Robotic Programmer works closely with engineering, maintenance, quality, and production teams to implement and sustain robotic automation systems. This position reports to the Industrial Engineering Manager. It is solely accountable for the fulfillment of all assigned duties and has authority delegated commensurate with assigned responsibilities."
We'll combine these two paragraphs maybe separated by a blank line but within same ? Could be two
elements under the heading. The instruction: use
for prose. So we can have multiple
under heading.
Now Responsibilities list:
Items:
- Program, configure, and troubleshoot industrial robots such as FANUC, ABB, Yaskawa/Motoman, KUKA, or Universal Robots.
- Develop robot paths, motion sequences, and process parameters for manufacturing applications.
- Support robotic systems used in welding, material handling, assembly, painting, palletizing, machine tending, and inspection processes.
- Perform robot setup, commissioning, testing, and validation for new equipment and production launches.
- Diagnose and resolve robotic, electrical, and mechanical issues to minimize downtime.
- Optimize robot cycle times and improve equipment performance.
- Collaborate with engineering teams to design and implement automation improvements.
- Maintain robot programs, backups, and technical documentation.
- Ensure robotic systems comply with safety standards and company policies.
- Train operators, technicians, and maintenance personnel on robotic equipment operation and basic troubleshooting.
- Participate in continuous improvement activities focused on quality, productivity, and cost reduction.
- Support preventive and predictive maintenance programs for automated systems.
- Assist with installation and integration of robots, vision systems, PLCs, and other automation equipment.
- Assist with any assigned 5S & LEAN housekeeping initiatives.
- Any additional duties that have not been specifically stated, but which may be assigned and those that are logically and properly inherent to this position.
We'll put each as
