Steel Technologies Enterprises is looking to solve the problem of producing precise and consistent welds in a manufacturing environment by developing, testing, and implementing programs for robotic welding systems.
Requirements
- Proficiency in robotic programming languages and software specific to welding robots.
- Understanding of weld joint designs, metallurgy, and welding standards (e.g., AWS D1.1, ISO 3834).
- Familiarity with PLC programming, HMI interfaces, and robotic system integration.
- Knowledge of welding processes such as MIG, TIG, or arc welding.
- Experience with CAD/CAM software or weld simulation tools is a plus.
- Certifications in robotic programming (e.g., FANUC or ABB certifications) or welding (e.g., CWI, CWE) are highly desirable.
- 2+ years of experience programming and operating robotic welding systems (e.g., FANUC, ABB, Motoman, or KUKA).
Responsibilities
- Develop and write programs for robotic welding systems using software such as FANUC, ABB, Yaskawa, or other robotic platforms.
- Set up robotic welding equipment, including configuring weld parameters, tooling, and fixtures.
- Adjust robot paths, speeds, and weld settings to achieve optimal performance and meet project specifications.
- Analyze welding processes to improve efficiency, reduce cycle times, and minimize defects.
- Conduct test runs and simulations to validate programs and ensure weld quality.
- Operate robotic welding systems during production runs, monitoring performance and making real-time adjustments as needed.
- Perform routine maintenance and troubleshooting on robotic systems to ensure operational reliability.
Other
- High school diploma or equivalent required; associate’s or bachelor’s degree in robotics, manufacturing, mechanical engineering, or a related field preferred.
- Strong problem-solving and analytical skills to troubleshoot complex issues.
- Attention to detail to ensure precision in programming and weld quality.
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced environment.
- Must pass a 10-panel drug screening, including marijuana.
