Welding Engineer — Robotic Systems — Up to $135,000 — Remote (U.S.)

Be the face of a leading robotic welding systems manufacturer’s technical expertise for customers across the United States and internationally, from a remote U.S. home base.

About the role

Our client, a leading manufacturer of robotic and automated welding systems for structural steel and heavy fabrication, headquartered in Canada, is hiring a Welding Engineer to own post-commissioning training, weld-quality diagnostics, and continuous improvement of robotic welding processes. From a remote U.S. home base, you will turn newly installed cells into reliable, high-throughput production assets. This is a hands-on, customer-facing role where your work directly drives customer ROI.

Responsibilities

• Own post-commissioning technical enablement: deliver advanced training in operation, programming, parameter optimization, preventive maintenance, and troubleshooting to ensure customer teams can run their cells without ongoing vendor dependence.
• Diagnose and resolve weld-quality issues at customer sites, isolating root cause and adjusting parameters, procedures, and databases to restore or improve quality and throughput.
• Build, optimize, and maintain welding databases and welding procedures tuned to each customer’s parts mix and quality requirements.
• Provide responsive remote and on-site technical support, owning issues through to resolution.
• Create and maintain training materials—manuals, guides, online resources, and technical documentation—kept current with product and process changes.
• Support the Sales team during technical reviews and assist commissioning and startup of new robotic welding cells as required.
• Coordinate with Sales, Engineering, Commissioning, and Service teams to deliver a seamless end-to-end customer experience.

Requirements

• Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience operating, programming, optimizing, and maintaining robotic or automated welding systems (manual-welding-only or inspection-only experience does not qualify).
• Strong working knowledge of welding processes (GMAW/FCAW) applied to structural steel and heavy fabrication.
• Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Welding Engineering Technology or a closely related field.
• Demonstrated experience delivering technical training or presentations to operators or customers in an industrial or manufacturing setting.
• Fluent English, spoken and written, sufficient to train customers and author technical documentation.
• Able and willing to travel 40–50% across the U.S., Canada, and internationally, with U.S. work authorization and U.S. residence within 1.5 hours of a regional airport.
