As a Robotic Welder, you will be responsible for supporting robotic welding operations from setup through production while helping maintain consistent weld quality, repeatability, and equipment performance.

Responsibilities include:

• Operate, set up, troubleshoot, and maintain robotic welding cells.
• Assist with programming, editing, and optimizing FANUC robotic welding programs.
• Operate and support welding equipment including Fronius and Miller welding systems.
• Set and adjust welding parameters to maintain weld quality and production efficiency.
• Troubleshoot robot faults, torch alignment, wire-feed problems, welding parameters, and other robotic cell issues.
• Read and interpret engineering drawings, weld symbols, specifications, and work instructions.
• Perform fit‑up inspections, weld setup verification, and in‑process quality checks.
• Work with MIG/GMAW welding processes, fixturing, weld sequencing, and distortion-control techniques.
• Support new product introduction activities including fixture validation, process development, and robotic weld‑path optimization.
• Work closely with Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, and Production teams to resolve welding and automation issues.
• Work with aerospace‑grade materials including aluminum, steel, and stainless steel.
• Follow all required safety, welding, quality, and aerospace manufacturing procedures.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of experience in robotic welding, automated manufacturing, welding automation, or a related manufacturing environment preferred.
• Hands‑on experience working with FANUC robotic systems.
• Experience using a FANUC teach pendant, making basic program edits, and troubleshooting robot faults.
• Strong knowledge of MIG/GMAW welding.
• Experience with robotic welding fixtures, weld sequencing, and distortion control.
• Ability to read engineering drawings and weld symbols.
• Experience with Fronius and/or Miller welding equipment is strongly preferred.
• Ability to troubleshoot welding and robotic equipment problems.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and problem‑solving skills.
• Experience with GD&T is a plus.
• Aerospace, defense, automotive, heavy equipment, or other high-quality manufacturing experience is highly desirable.

Education & Certifications

• High school diploma or GED required.
• Technical school, trade school, or training in welding, robotics, automation, or manufacturing technology preferred.
• AWS welding certifications are a plus.
• FANUC robotics certifications are a plus.

Physical Requirements

Candidates must be able to:

• Stand for extended periods, including shifts of 10+ hours.
• Lift and move up to 50 pounds.
• Frequently bend, stoop, reach, and perform hands‑on manufacturing work.
• Inspect weld quality and accurately read technical drawings.
• Wear required PPE including welding hood, safety glasses, gloves, steel‑toe footwear, and hearing protection.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This position offers the opportunity to combine welding expertise with advanced robotic automation while producing precision components used in the aerospace and defense industry.
