Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced, hands-on Robotics Programmer / Welding Automation Technician to join our manufacturing team.

We are looking for someone with a background in FANUC robotic systems, MIG/TIG welding, and resistance spot welding who can independently program, troubleshoot, maintain, and optimize robotic welding cells. (Entry-level candidates are welcome to apply.)

The ideal candidate is a problem-solver who enjoys working directly on the manufacturing floor and has experience supporting both new robotic installations and existing production equipment.

Key Responsibilities

• Programming & Setup:
• Program, teach, and troubleshoot FANUC industrial robots.
• Set up and optimize robotic MIG, TIG, and resistance spot welding applications.
• Develop and modify robotic programs for new products and production changes.
• Assist with robotic cell integration, commissioning, and production launches.
• Maintenance & Troubleshooting:
• Diagnose and resolve robot faults, welding defects, and production downtime.
• Troubleshoot robotic controllers, sensors, I/O, and electrical and mechanical systems.
• Perform preventative maintenance and repairs on robotic welding cells.
• Process Optimization & Safety:
• Work with engineering, tooling, and production teams to develop new automated processes.
• Improve cycle times, weld quality, efficiency, and overall equipment performance.
• Ensure robotic systems operate safely and consistently.

Qualifications

• Required:
• Hands-on experience programming and troubleshooting FANUC robots.
• Experience with robotic MIG/TIG welding and/or resistance spot welding.
• Strong understanding of robotic welding equipment, fixtures, and weld parameters.
• Ability to troubleshoot electrical, mechanical, and automation-related issues.
• Ability to read mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, and weld specifications.
• Strong ability to work independently and solve problems directly on the manufacturing floor.
• Preferred:
• Experience with PLCs, robotic I/O, and industrial controls.
• Experience in automotive or industrial manufacturing environments.
