Industrial Robotics Welding Integrator

Job Description

Job Description

Is this you?

• Do you enjoy turning a weld spec into a repeatable robotic path for MIG, TIG, and spot welds?
• Can you integrate, program, and optimize robots for both welding and CNC machine tending?
• Will you own quality—running cut-and-etch, checking dimensions, and tuning parameters—until the welds are right?
• Are you the first to pop open a teach pendant, trace a fault, and get a cell back online?

Core responsibilities

• Develop and modify robot programs for welding operations and CNC tending cells.
• Install, configure, and adjust robotic weld equipment and controllers to meet production specifications.
• Commission CNC machine tending robots; troubleshoot issues to achieve production targets.
• Set up, calibrate, and validate robotic arms, end-of-arm tooling, and sensing devices.
• Perform preventive and predictive maintenance on robotic welding systems.
• Troubleshoot technical problems and system malfunctions to reduce downtime.
• Verify weld quality using cut-and-etch and dimensional checks; implement parameter changes as needed.
• Ensure all processes meet defined quality standards; use calipers/gauges and report any process or quality deviations.
• Support manufacturing with setups, tool changes, and real-time problem resolution to maintain smooth flow.
• Follow all safety protocols, wear required PPE, observe environmental guidelines, and keep the workspace clean and orderly.

Qualifications

• Mechanical aptitude with strong knowledge of GMAW (MIG), GTAW (TIG), and spot welding.
• Hands-on welding background combined with automation/robotics know-how.
• AWS Certified Robotic Arc Welder (or equivalent) and solid foundational welding knowledge.
• Associate degree or technical diploma in robotics, automation, or welding technology.
• Experience with FANUC, OTC Daihen, Nachi, and Yaskawa robotic systems.
• Familiarity with welding processes/materials and weld controllers such as OTC Daihen, Fronius, and Lincoln.
• Comfortable with programming logic, sensors, and PLCs; able to read blueprints, prints, and check sheets.
• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills; strong mechanical aptitude.
• Physically able to stand for extended periods; lift and carry up to 50 lbs; perform repetitive motions.
• Knowledge of safety procedures and manufacturing environments; firm understanding of MIOSHA and government safety regulations.
• Capable of training, assisting, leading, directing, instructing, and disciplining employees when required.
• Proficient with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
• Strong sense of time management and urgency; able to navigate unexpected challenges and quickly drive solutions.
