Fronius Jobs in Michigan (NOW HIRING)

You arrive on the floor with the day’s production targets in hand. Your first move is to load, refine, and validate programs for robotic welders handling GMAW (MIG), GTAW (TIG), and spot applications, then pivot to the CNC machine tending cells to update paths and logic for smooth part flow. You calibrate robotic arms and sensors, verify weld controllers (OTC Daihen, Fronius, Lincoln) are dialed in, and run a quick cut-and-etch to confirm penetration and weld dimensions. Using calipers and gauges, you document results, adjust as needed, and lock in parameters to meet quality standards.

As production ramps, you troubleshoot robot or controller alarms, tune settings, and minimize downtime. Between cycles, you perform preventive and predictive maintenance, assist the team with setups and tool changes, and jump into problem-solving huddles to keep throughput on track. Throughout the shift, you wear required PPE, follow MIOSHA and environmental guidelines, and keep the cell organized and audit-ready.
