Job description

Summary 

The Robotic Welder & Programmer sets up, programs, operates, and maintains robotic welding cells and also performs hands-on manual welding and fabrication on the shop floor. This position develops and refines weld programs, dials in fixtures and weld parameters, and runs production parts, while welding manually on work that is not suited to automation. Performs process evaluation, develops process work instructions, balances work flow, and helps design product build fixtures with the goal of improving quality, reducing costs, and increasing throughput.

 

Essential Duties and Responsibilities 

Employee must be able to perform these essential functions of the position satisfactorily and, if requested, reasonable accommodations may be made to enable employees with disabilities to perform the essential functions of the job, absent undue hardship.

  • Sets up, programs, and troubleshoots robotic welding cells using the teach pendant and/or offline programming software; creates, edits, and optimizes weld paths, sequences, and parameters (voltage, wire feed speed, travel speed, and weave). Subject Matter Expert for Robotic Welding operations.
  • Performs hands-on manual welding and fabrication on the shop floor – MIG (GMAW), on parts not suited to the robot and to support production demand.
  • Loads programs, dials in fixtures and part positioning, and runs first-article and production parts to confirm weld quality before and during a run.
  • Reads and interprets blueprints, weld symbols, and work instructions; fits, tacks, and assembles weldments to specification.
  • Diagnoses and corrects cell issues such as torch collisions, wire-feed faults, arc-start problems, and positioner or I/O errors; performs routine preventive maintenance, TCP calibration, and consumable changeover on robots and welding equipment.
  • Grinds, finishes, and prepares parts to meet quality and cosmetic requirements.
  • Develops and documents process work instructions, balances work flow, and designs or recommends product build fixtures to improve quality, cost, and throughput.
  • Performs in-process inspection and verifies welds against applicable standards (e.g., AWS D1.1); maintains accurate setup and production records.
  • Actively participates in the Company Safety Program with goal of ensuring a safe and suitable work environment for all employees and meeting the requirements mandated by the Occupational Safety and Health Standards.
