Robot Welder Operator - Weekend Shift

• Load, position, and secure components into specialized fixtures; initiate and monitor automated weld cycles using control panels or teach pendants.
• Select, validate, and run predetermined robotic weld programs; make authorized adjustments to welding parameters (voltage, wire feed speed, travel speed) to optimize cycle performance.
• Interpret blueprints, weld symbols, and technical drawings to verify correct part fit-up and alignment; perform visual and dimensional inspections on finished components using precision measuring tools.
• Identify automated weld anomalies (e.g., porosity, undercut, or misaligned seams); execute manual touch-ups, rework, or metal finishing on parts when necessary.
• Conduct routine maintenance on robotic arms, nozzles, and sensors (such as tip changes or nozzle cleaning) to prevent downtime.
• Partner with Welding Engineering, Quality Control, and Maintenance teams to troubleshoot program glitches and improve workflow efficiency.

Requirements

• Basic understanding of traditional welding processes (GMAW/MIG preferred) to evaluate weld pool aesthetics and penetration.
• Prior experience operating CNC machinery, industrial cobots, or robotic welding interfaces (e.g., Fanuc, Yaskawa, ABB, or IGM) is highly desirable.
• Strong capability to interpret complex manufacturing drawings and geometric tolerances.
• Excellent mechanical troubleshooting abilities to diagnose if a defect stems from a program error, a fixture displacement, or a material variance.
• Ability to safely lift manufacturing components and work comfortably alongside automated industrial cells.
