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.
