What you would own
- Fine-tune robotic travel speeds, torch angles, wire feed rates, weave patterns, and arc voltages to maximize cycle efficiency and achieve 100% full-penetration welds.
- Serve as the primary floor SME to resolve multi-axis robot motion faults, seam-tracking/touch-sensing errors, and hardware communication issues.
- Verify Weld Quality & AWS Compliance: Inspect finished weldments using visual and non-destructive methods to ensure full compliance with engineering blueprints, AWS structural codes, and tight tolerances.
- Train & Mentor Cell Operators: Support production operators by refining fixture loading sequences, standardizing setup procedures, and transferring basic pendant operation knowledge.
- Oversee routine maintenance schedules on robotic arms, torch liners, contact tips, wire feeder drives, and anti-spatter reamer stations.
What they are looking for
- Practical proficiency with offline simulation packages (Robotmaster, MotoSim, or equivalent CAD-to-path software) for virtual path generation.
- Strong foundation in heavy-plate MIG welding and blueprint reading, including complete weld symbol literacy (must be able to pass an on-site practical weld test).
- Fixture & Tooling Literacy: Analytical capability to review part geometry, evaluate fixture clearance, and establish efficient weld sequences from scratch.
- Consistent work history demonstrating multi-year tenure, strong daily attendance, and team accountability.
