Robotic Welding Engineer

American Boa, Inc.; Cumming (GA); Vor Ort; USD 80.000 - 120.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

American Boa, Inc. is seeking a Robotic Welding Engineer who works hands-on in the cell and drives process development from launch through stable production.

You will program robots, optimize MIG and TIG weld parameters, and own the robotic welding process across new-part launches and ongoing output. This role emphasizes data-driven improvements and cross-functional collaboration on fixtures and tooling.

Qualifikationen

• Bachelor's degree in Welding, Mechanical, or Manufacturing Engineering, or 5+ years of equivalent hands-on robotic welding experience.
• Hands-on programming experience with major industrial robot brands (FANUC, OTC Daihen, Yaskawa Motoman, ABB, or similar).
• Strong MIG and TIG processes knowledge with independent parameter development.
• Experience welding stainless steel, preferably thin-wall tubing or sheet.
• Ability to read and interpret drawings, GD&T, and AWS weld symbols.
• Able to work on the production floor and split time between cell and desk.

Aufgaben

• Program, touch up, and optimize robotic weld paths on OTC Daihen robots and support future deployments.
• Develop and optimize MIG (GMAW) and TIG (GTAW) parameters for thin-wall stainless steel tubing and assemblies.
• Develop weld processes for Inconel and nickel alloys, including filler selection and heat input control.
• Solve weld quality problems: burn-through, porosity, lack of fusion, distortion, and oxidation/sugaring.
• Design and improve weld fixtures, tooling, and positioner setups for repeatability and cycle time.
• Implement and tune seam tracking and touch sensing; create and maintain WPS/PQR documentation.

Jobbeschreibung

We manufacture welded stainless steel exhaust assemblies. We're looking for a Robotic Welding Engineer who works hands-on at the cell and also drives process development. You'll program robots, develop and optimize MIG and TIG weld parameters, and own the robotic welding process from new-part launch through stable production.

Key Responsibilities

• Program, touch up, and optimize robotic weld paths on our OTC Daihen robots, and support future robot and welding cobot deployments
• Develop, document, and optimize MIG (GMAW) and TIG (GTAW) parameters for thin-wall stainless steel tubing and assemblies
• Develop weld processes for Inconel and other nickel alloys, including filler selection and heat input control
• Solve weld quality problems: burn-through, porosity, lack of fusion, distortion, and oxidation/sugaring
• Design and improve weld fixtures, tooling, and positioner setups for repeatability and cycle time
• Implement and tune seam tracking and touch sensing
• Create and maintain WPS/PQR documentation and weld inspection criteria, including cut-and-etch/macro testing
• Lead robotic welding work on new product launches, from feasibility and quoting input through production release
• Improve cycle time, first-pass yield, and consumable cost through data-driven process changes
• Evaluate and specify new robotic and cobot welding cells, and work with integrators and OEMs on installation and buy-off
• Train operators and technicians on robot operation, basic touch-ups, and weld quality standards
• Support PFMEA, control plans, and root cause analysis (8D, 5-Why) for weld-related issues

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Welding, Mechanical, or Manufacturing Engineering, or 5+ years of equivalent hands-on robotic welding experience
• Hands-on programming experience with at least one major industrial robot brand (FANUC, OTC Daihen, Yaskawa Motoman, ABB, or similar)
• Strong working knowledge of MIG and TIG processes, including independent parameter development
• Experience welding stainless steel, preferably thin-wall tube or sheet
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, and AWS weld symbols
• Comfortable working on the production floor and splitting time between the cell and the desk

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with multiple robot platforms and offline programming/simulation software
• Welding cobot experience (e.g., Universal Robots-based welding packages or similar)
• Inconel or other nickel alloy welding experience
• Exhaust, automotive, or tube fabrication industry background
• AWS Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) or Certified Robotic Arc Welding (CRAW) certification
• Familiarity with IATF 16949, PPAP, and APQP
