Job description

Can you turn a solid model into a flawless welded assembly?If you can read a blueprint, program a TRUMPF cell, and bring a Motoman YRC1000 back online after a fault, we’d love to talk. This role is the hub for automated and manual operations—cutting, sorting, stacking, bending (forming), punching, and robotic welding—so production starts on time and stays on target.What problems will you solve?How do we hit takt? You’ll manage KPIs—on-time delivery, quality, takt management, and machine utilization—adjusting parameters and programs to keep flow steady.How do we fix fit-up? You’ll lead troubleshooting for part sensing, clamping, and weld sequence issues, partnering with Maintenance or vendors when needed.How do we scale new work? You’ll program and validate new products and prototypes, performing parts analysis and time studies to lock in quality and repeatability.Core responsibilitiesProgram, operate, and perform routine maintenance on assigned equipment; set up machining centers and navigate HMI controls.Assist with loading parts/assemblies; restart equipment after malfunctions; execute minor repairs; log activities and maintain a clean, safe cell.Conduct in-process quality checks; monitor processes and suggest improvements; support the production schedule.Inspect machinery, troubleshoot minor errors, and report breakdowns promptly.Train new employees and run training sessions for the team; facilitate operator preventive maintenance and communicate findings to Management and Maintenance.Collaborate across Design Engineering, R&D, Supply Chain, Operations, and production supervision; communicate status to Line Lead and Production Supervisor; escalate technical issues to Technicians/Engineers.Follow all company policies, procedures, and industry regulations; perform additional duties as assigned.Tech you’ll touchTRUMPF: Programming, operational, planning software solutions and equipmentMotoman YRC 1000 robot controllerMicrosoft Office Suite and HMI interactionWhat you bringEducation: High school diploma; Associate’s in a focused technology preferred.Certifications: Robotics/programming desirable; Welding desirable; Crane certification.Experience: TRUMPF or similar machine tools; CAD and production programming; lasers, bend cells, robotics, automation, robotic weld cells, mechatronics.Strengths: PLC troubleshooting and programming; equipment troubleshooting; HMI navigation; reading solid models/blueprints.Know-how: Manufacturing technologies and production software; intermediate computer skills; basic math and measurement.Systems: Intermediate understanding of electrical/hydraulics desirable; welding and assembly/parts fit-up; cutting (laser), forming, and parts fit-up.Tools: Hand tools and measuring devices; tape measure reading; machine setups for production runs; overhead/jib crane with hoists.Working style: Safety-first, strong communicator, team player who can lead.Training & growthTRUMPF UniversityAdvanced Robotic Programming with Arc WeldingOrientationPhysical & environmentStand for the shift; lift and maneuver up to 50 lbs.Manufacturing environment with required PPE.Overtime as needed.ProficienciesPLC Troubleshooting SkillsEquipment TroubleshootingTroubleshooting SkillsPLC Programming ExperienceTape Measure ReadingMachine Setups for Production RunsMachines & technologiesLaser Punch Press (TRUMPF)Laser WelderNote on accommodationsAbove is a list of the most important responsibilities and functions, which are essential to the position.
