Create fixture designs and manufacturing drawings using SolidWorks
Develop and optimize welding processes for fabricated assemblies
Perform offline robotic welding programming
Support setup, programming, troubleshooting, and optimization of robotic welding systems
Work directly with welders, production supervisors, engineering, and quality personnel to improve manufacturability
Evaluate new and existing jobs for welding efficiency, cycle-time reduction, fixture requirements, and automation opportunities
Troubleshoot weld quality, distortion, fit-up, and production issues
Assist with process development for new product introductions and first-article builds
Recommend improvements to welding methods, tooling, equipment, and workflow
Help establish repeatable processes that improve weld quality, throughput, and operator efficiency
Support continuous improvement initiatives throughout fabrication and welding operations
Qualifications
5-10 years of welding and/or weld engineering experience in a manufacturing or metal fabrication environment
Strong practical knowledge of welding processes and fabricated assemblies
Demonstrated experience designing weld fixtures and tooling
Proficiency with SolidWorks
Experience with robotic welding systems and offline robot programming
Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, weld symbols, GD&T, and manufacturing specifications
Strong understanding of weld sequencing, distortion control, joint design, tolerances, and fixture requirements
Ability to work effectively with both engineering personnel and shop-floor production teams
Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills
Preferred Qualifications
Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) certification preferred
Experience programming and supporting industrial welding robots
Experience with robotic/cobot welding cells in a production fabrication environment
Background in lean manufacturing, process improvement, or industrial engineering
Experience developing welding processes for low- to mid-volume fabricated products
Compensation
Pay is dependent upon experience, technical capabilities, and qualifications.
