Weld Cell Automation Engineer – Production Scale

Fluidstack; Seattle, New York, San Francisco, Austin (WA, NY, CA, TX); On-site; USD 85,000 - 130,000; Full time

Job summary

Fluidstack seeks a skilled robotic welder to own and optimize production weld cells, programming, fixturing interfaces, and ensuring weld quality at rate. You will develop weld programs for structural steel assemblies, manage parameters and sequencing to minimize distortion, and commission new cells with integrators.

Responsibilities include driving first-pass yield improvements through data analysis, partnering with quality on inspections, and contributing to WPS documentation.

Qualifications

• You've programmed and run robotic welding in production, not just in a lab.
• You know GMAW deeply: parameters, transfer modes, and what the arc is telling you.
• You've solved distortion and penetration problems on heavy weldments.
• You work to WPS discipline and can write one.
• You partner with quality on inspections and the fixes they drive.
• Bonus: AWS D1.1 familiarity. Fanuc, ABB, or Yaskawa arc packages. Offline programming.

Responsibilities

• Own the robotic weld cells: programming, fixturing interface, and weld quality at production rate.
• Develop weld programs for structural steel assemblies: procedures, parameters, and sequencing that hold distortion.
• Commission new cells with integrators and take them from acceptance to rate.
• Drive first-pass yield up with data: rework cut at the parameter level.
