JOB SUMMARY

As a robotic welder, you will be responsible for setting-up, operating and performing work in a robotic welding cell using industrial welding robots to fabricate numerous metal parts and components according to customer specifications and pre-programmed machine control instructions.  You might be required on occasion to do spot MIG or TIG welding as well. The Robotic Welding Operator will review drawings and specifications to accurately weld parts and metal components.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Plan and weld work from drawings or specifications using knowledge of robotic machine capabilities, base metals and weld processes to analyze the parts to be joined most effectively (plan, lay-out , tack, weld and fit-up parts and components according to specifications).
