Set up, program/teach, and operate robotic welding cells to produce high-quality welds on production components. Ensure safety, quality, and throughput while troubleshooting equipment and improving processes.
Load/unload parts, clamp in fixtures, select/call correct robot program, and run production cycles.
Teach/modify robot paths, torch angles, and weave schedules; set TCP/tool & user frames (programmer track).
Set and verify weld parameters (voltage, WFS, travel speed, gas flow) per WPS; perform first-article and in-process checks.
Read blueprints and weld symbols; verify dimensions and weld size using gauges, calipers, and visual standards (AWS/CWB).
Changeover tooling/fixtures; perform torch maintenance (tip/nozzle/liner), wire changes, and basic PM.
Diagnose and correct faults (arc start, burnback, collision, porosity, spatter) and escalate as needed.
Maintain 5S, follow LOTO and guarding procedures, and complete production/quality documentation.
Contribute to CI initiatives targeting cycle time, FPY, scrap, and OEE.
3+ years on robotic GMAW cells (Fanuc/ABB/Yaskawa/KUKA). TIG or spot welding experience is an asset.
Proficient with teach pendants (e.g., Fanuc TP, ABB RAPID, Yaskawa INFORM, KUKA KRL); offline programming (RoboGuide/RobotStudio/DTPS) is a plus.
Strong understanding of weld processes, metallurgy basics, fixtures, and heat input/distortion control.
Able to interpret blueprints, GD&T basics, and WPS requirements.
Comfortable with basic PLC/HMI interactions for cell operation and fault recovery.
Solid troubleshooting, attention to detail, and documentation habits; able to work independently or in a team.
