Our client is a highly respected manufacturer specializing in engineered metal products for demanding industrial applications. The operation requires strong welding, fabrication, automation, and manufacturing expertise to deliver high-quality products safely, efficiently, and consistently. As the business continues to invest in robotic welding and automated manufacturing capabilities, the team is focused on improving weld quality, increasing throughput, reducing variation, and creating more repeatable production processes.

Why join us? This is a strong opportunity for a hands-on Robotic Welding Programmer who wants to have a direct impact on production efficiency, weld quality, and automation performance. This role will support robotic weld cell programming, fixture setup, troubleshooting, process improvement, and operator training in a real manufacturing environment. It is a great fit for someone who enjoys working on the floor, solving technical problems, improving robotic welding processes, and helping transition work from manual operations into more automated, repeatable production.

Job Details The Robotic Welding Programmer is responsible for creating, maintaining, supporting, and improving robotic welding and automation programs. This role works closely with manufacturing, engineering, maintenance, quality, and production teams to ensure robotic weld cells are programmed correctly, fixtures are set up effectively, equipment is operating reliably, and production requirements are met safely and consistently. This individual will read and interpret drawings, work instructions, and engineering data to support program creation and optimization.

The role also includes part selection and development, tooling and fixture support, design improvement recommendations, robotic cell training, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement of workflow and automation processes. Depending on experience level, this role may focus on execution and support under guidance, independent ownership of robotic welding programs, or senior-level leadership of robotic weld programming standards, automation strategy, complex troubleshooting, and technician training.

Key Responsibilities Robotic Welding Programming & Program Support Create, edit, maintain, and improve robotic welding and automation programs using established standards. Independently develop and optimize robotic programs to meet production, quality, and efficiency requirements. Support program creation by reading and interpreting drawings, work instructions, engineering data, and production requirements. Analyze existing programs and identify opportunities to improve weld consistency, cycle time, uptime, quality, and repeatability.

Make mechanical and programming adjustments to meet quantity and quality standards. Troubleshoot program challenges and support corrective actions to reduce production delays, quality issues, and product inconsistencies. Robotic Weld Cell Operation & Automation Support Support daily robotic weld cell operation to ensure production needs are met safely and efficiently. Assist with tooling, fixture setup, testing, and basic mechanical adjustments. Provide flexible support across manufacturing needs and adjust priorities based on changing production demands.

Partner with maintenance and engineering to improve equipment reliability, robotic cell uptime, and automation performance. Serve as an escalation point for production, quality, and automation issues for more senior-level candidates. Tooling, Fixtures & Part Development Design, test, implement, and improve tooling and fixtures to support robotic welding production and quality. Lead or support fixture setup, fixture troubleshooting, and fixture improvement activity.

Guide part selection and support the transition of parts or processes from manual welding to robotic welding operations. Review and validate engineering information for manufacturability and flag discrepancies, gaps, or design concerns. Recommend design improvements or alternative automation methods that improve robotic weldability, quality, uptime, and production flow. Transition from Manual to Robotic Operations Support the movement of appropriate parts, weldments, and processes from manual welding into robotic operations.

Evaluate drawings, part geometry, fixtures, and process requirements to determine robotic welding feasibility. Partner with engineering and production teams to improve designs and processes for robotic welding success. Help standardize robotic welding methods to improve consistency across jobs, parts, and production cells. Troubleshooting, Root Cause & Continuous Improvement Identify process issues and implement corrective actions that improve safety, quality, production flow, and equipment performance.
