Job description

The Robotic Weld Programmer is tasked with developing, testing, and implementing programs for robotic welding systems to produce precise and consistent welds in a manufacturing environment. This role involves collaborating with engineers, production teams, and quality control to optimize welding processes, troubleshoot issues, and ensure compliance with safety and quality standards.
How you can help the team:
  • Programming and Setup:

    • Develop and write programs for robotic welding systems using software such as FANUC, ABB, Yaskawa, or other robotic platforms.
    • Set up robotic welding equipment, including configuring weld parameters, tooling, and fixtures.
    • Adjust robot paths, speeds, and weld settings to achieve optimal performance and meet project specifications.

  • Process Optimization:

    • Analyze welding processes to improve efficiency, reduce cycle times, and minimize defects.
    • Conduct test runs and simulations to validate programs and ensure weld quality.
    • Collaborate with engineering teams to design and implement welding fixtures and jigs.

  • Operation and Maintenance:

    • Operate robotic welding systems during production runs, monitoring performance and making real-time adjustments as needed.
    • Perform routine maintenance and troubleshooting on robotic systems to ensure operational reliability.
    • Diagnose and resolve issues related to weld imperfections, equipment malfunctions, or programming errors.

  • Quality Control:

    • Inspect welds to ensure they meet industry standards (e.g., AWS, ASME, ISO) and customer specifications.
    • Document programming changes, weld parameters, and inspection results for quality assurance.
    • Work with quality control teams to address non-conformities and implement corrective actions.

  • Safety and Compliance:

    • Adhere to workplace safety protocols and ensure robotic systems comply with OSHA and other regulatory standards.
    • Train production staff on safe operation and maintenance of robotic welding equipment.

  • Collaboration and Documentation:

    • Work closely with production managers, engineers, and other team members to meet project deadlines and production goals.
    • Maintain accurate records of programs, settings, and maintenance activities for future reference.

What you need to be successful:
  • Education: High school diploma or equivalent required; associate's or bachelor's degree in robotics, manufacturing, mechanical engineering, or a related field preferred.
  • Experience:

    • 2+ years of experience programming and operating robotic welding systems (e.g., FANUC, ABB, Motoman, or KUKA).
    • Knowledge of welding processes such as MIG, TIG, or arc welding.
    • Experience with CAD/CAM software or weld simulation tools is a plus.

  • Technical Skills:

    • Proficiency in robotic programming languages and software specific to welding robots.
    • Understanding of weld joint designs, metallurgy, and welding standards (e.g., AWS D1.1, ISO 3834).
    • Familiarity with PLC programming, HMI interfaces, and robotic system integration.

  • Soft Skills:

    • Strong problem-solving and analytical skills to troubleshoot complex issues.
    • Attention to detail to ensure precision in programming and weld quality.
    • Ability to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced environment.

  • Certifications: Certifications in robotic programming (e.g., FANUC or ABB certifications) or welding (e.g., CWI, CWE) are highly desirable.

WORKING CONDITIONS:
This is a safety sensitive position. This work consists of an equal distribution of time between an office setting, characterized by minimal to moderate noise stemming from computers, printers, and people, and a manufacturing setting where noise levels range from moderate to high due to machinery and equipment. There may be a slight inclination towards spending more time in the manufacturing setting. The temperature of the facility will vary based on outside weather conditions. The user of personal protective equipment for safety compliance may be required as deemed necessary by management.
