Robotic Welding Sales Engineer

The Robotic Welding Sales Engineer is a key sales role within our fast-growing automation division. In this position, you will serve as the subject matter expert on advanced welding processes and robotic integration. Rather than cold-calling, you will work consultatively alongside our regional sales team—evaluating manufacturing feasibility, designing custom application solutions, and delivering hands‑on equipment demonstrations to help close complex automation deals.

This is a highly stable, long‑term career path backed by a massive corporate investment in your professional development.

• Serve as the primary technical authority on automated MIG/TIG welding applications, qualifying opportunities brought forward by the territory sales team.
• Analyze customer weld prints, part geometry, joint details, and cycle time requirements to determine the viability of robotic automation.
• Join virtual and in-person meetings with client engineering teams to discuss manufacturing processes, labor challenges, and throughput goals.
• Program and operate robotic welding cells at our regional technology centers to showcase capabilities and prove out cycle‑time estimates.
• Partner with internal engineering and project management teams to design structurally sound, custom robotic weld packages.
• Help coordinate a smooth handoff from the initial technical sales cycle to the physical deployment and integration phase.
• Undergo intensive manufacturer‑certified training on leading industrial robotics platforms and advanced weld‑process software.

• Successful sales experience in a manufacturing environment
• Strong practical knowledge of industrial welding processes (MIG/TIG) with the ability to confidently discuss weld procedures, joints, and metallurgy.
• Proficient in interpreting complex engineering drawings, structural weld symbols, and part specifications.
• Willingness to travel up to 35% across a multi‑state regional territory for customer site visits and product demonstrations
• Exceptional interpersonal skills with the ability to translate complex automation concepts to both business executives and shop‑floor operators.

• Hands‑on experience programming or operating industrial 6‑axis robotic arms.
• Credentials such as a Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) or formal trade certifications in manufacturing technology.
• Familiarity with 3D CAD modeling software (e.g., Solid Works) for conceptualizing tooling and part orientation.
• Background working in or selling to high‑precision industries like automotive, heavy equipment, or contract metal fabrication.
• Base Salary: Highly competitive base salary ($100,000 - $120,000) structured to provide strong income stability during training, transitioning to a high‑earning commission structure (OTE of $300,000+).
• Company Tools: Fully paid company vehicle, corporate credit card for travel, laptop, and phone.
• Benefits: Robust corporate benefits package, including premium medical/dental/vision coverage, paid time off, and a company‑matched retirement plan.
