Job summary

Blue Chip Talent, in partnership with an automotive manufacturing organization, seeks a skilled Robotics Engineer to program, integrate, commission, and optimize robotic MIG welding systems within a Bodyshop environment. The role emphasizes weld quality, dimensional integrity, process repeatability, and production readiness.

The candidate will program MIG welding trajectories on FANUC and NACHI platforms, optimize weld schedules, and ensure robust TCP verification and robot safety systems.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Automation, Welding, Electromechanical Engineering, or related field.
• Hands-on NACHI robot programming and integration experience.
• Hands-on FANUC robot programming experience, including ArcTool.
• Automotive BIW or Bodyshop robotic welding experience.
• MIG/MAG welding process knowledge and optimization.

Responsibilities

• Program and refine robotic MIG welding trajectories using FANUC and NACHI platforms.
• Configure and optimize weld schedules, torch angles, electrode stick-out, travel speeds, and welding parameters.
• Integrate and commission robotic arc welding systems from setup through production start-up.
• Diagnose and correct weld defects including porosity, lack of fusion, undercut, burn-through, and spatter.
• Implement and maintain automatic TCP check and calibration routines.
• Integrate welding peripherals such as torch cleaning stations, reamers, wire cutters, neck aligners, and TCP calibration units.
• Establish and maintain robot programming standards, backups, and version histories.
• Troubleshoot robotic hardware, software, safety, and welding-process faults during commissioning and high-volume production.
