Welder - Second Shift

As a Welder, your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

• Layout, fit up and all welding and related fabrication processes on low complexity aluminum and/or steel/stainless steel weldments/parts
• Receives tacked medium complexity aluminum or steel/stainless steel weldments from senior welders to complete full weld-out and straightening operations to tight tolerances and in accordance with manufacturing instructions
• Cleans and prepares parts for welding by wire brushing, abrasive shot blast, and aqueous or solvent cleaning
• Completes straightening operations on parts and assemblies other than weldments
• Collaborative Welding Robot operation including:
• Loads fixture tooling with subassembly components for tack-up and full weld-out
• Verifies accurate Tool Center Point (TCP) and calibration utilizing both laser TCP tool and manual methods prior to production operations
• Runs pre-programmed welding operations verifying parameters are producing good bead profile and fusion in accordance with inspection criteria
• Communicates problems/errors during operation to engineering/supervision for the purpose of corrective action
• Checks/corrects sub-assemblies for flatness/straightness following Cobot operations
• Grinding, straightening, and metal finishing to meet final product finish requirements
• Utilizes jigs, fixtures, table setups, clamps and angle plates precisely as specified by work instructions and/or group leader/supervision direction to produce the correct shapes and dimensions
• Sets up, qualifies and runs spot welding equipment in accordance with specified procedures
• Interprets CAD data, prints and sketches with regard to fabrication and follows written and/or verbal instructions
• Sets up and maintains welding equipment
• Follows welding sequences precisely as specified by work instructions and/or group leader/supervision to minimize heat distortion and straightening requirements
• Maintains workstation/cell in organized manner and in compliance with any applicable safety standards
• Works in time-critical situations in a dynamic, team-oriented environment where programs, setups, and tooling are constantly changing and interacts effectively with associates & management as priorities shift
• Receives and provides cross-training for other tasks related to department functions and procedures
• Recommends and executes changes to achieve process improvements and/or cycle time reductions
• Uses precision measuring tools such as vernier caliper, micrometers, and various welding inspection tools
• Other job-related duties as required by management
• Physical condition allowing:
• Standing, sitting, bending, walking, 10+ hours per day
• Personal protective equipment including steel-toed shoes, safety glasses, hearing protection, and wearing a respirator when required
• Works with others and cross-shift with others on the same work
• Employs various hand tools such as hammers, chisels, squares, and straight edges
• Wash, mask, shot/abrasive blast, and apply metal flame spray to parts and weldments per established manufacturing instructions
• Adheres to safety guidelines and the correct procedures for performing tasks to prevent personal injury or damage to product and/or equipment
