Position Overview

We are seeking a skilled Robotic Welding Technician to join our aerospace and defense manufacturing operations in the West Point/Columbus, Mississippi area.

In this hands‑on role, you will operate, set up, troubleshoot, and optimize advanced robotic welding systems used to manufacture precision components for aerospace and defense applications.

We're looking for someone who understands more than just welding — someone who can work directly with Fanuc robotic welding cells, adjust welding programs, troubleshoot equipment, and consistently deliver high‑quality welds.

This is a fully onsite position in the Columbus, Mississippi area. Candidates outside the region must be willing to relocate.

What You'll Do

• Set up, operate, troubleshoot, and maintain robotic welding cells used in precision aerospace manufacturing.
• Work directly with Fanuc robotic systems, including teach pendant operation, program adjustments, and troubleshooting.
• Operate and support Fronius and Miller welding equipment to produce consistent, high‑quality welds.
• Perform MIG/GMAW welding operations and optimize weld parameters, sequencing, and cycle times.
• Read and interpret engineering drawings, welding symbols, GD&T, and technical specifications.
• Troubleshoot robot faults, torch alignment, wire feed issues, weld defects, and equipment downtime.
• Inspect weld fit‑up, verify setups, and perform in‑process quality checks.
• Support new product introductions (NPI), fixture validation, and robotic weld path optimization.
• Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, and Production teams to improve welding processes and manufacturing efficiency.
• Maintain strict safety, quality, and production standards.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of experience in robotic welding, automated welding, or a related manufacturing environment preferred.
• Hands‑on experience operating and troubleshooting Fanuc robotic welding systems strongly preferred.
• Experience using robotic teach pendants and making basic welding program adjustments.
• Working knowledge of MIG/GMAW welding, welding parameters, fixturing, and distortion control.
• Experience with Fronius and/or Miller welding equipment preferred.
• Ability to interpret blueprints, welding symbols, and technical work instructions.
• Experience welding aluminum, steel, or stainless steel components.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and practical equipment troubleshooting skills.
• Experience in aerospace, defense, automotive, heavy equipment, or precision manufacturing is valuable.

Education & Certifications

• High school diploma or GED required.
• Technical school or vocational training in welding, robotics, or manufacturing preferred.
• AWS welding certifications and Fanuc robotics training are a plus.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to stand for extended periods, including shifts of 10+ hours.
• Ability to lift and move materials weighing up to 50 pounds.
• Ability to bend, reach, stoop, and perform hands‑on manufacturing tasks.
• Ability to visually inspect weld quality and technical drawings.
• Ability to wear required PPE, including welding helmets, safety glasses, gloves, steel‑toe boots, and hearing protection.

Why Join Us?

You’ll have the opportunity to work with advanced robotic welding technology, support precision aerospace and defense manufacturing, and contribute directly to improving production quality and efficiency.

Location Reminder: This position requires working 100% onsite in the Columbus, Mississippi area. Candidates who do not live within commuting distance must be willing to relocate.
