Robotic Welding Engineer

Job Description - Robotic Welding Engineer



About the Role



We manufacture welded stainless steel exhaust assemblies. We're looking for a Robotic Welding Engineer who works hands-on at the cell and also drives process development. You'll program robots, develop and optimize MIG and TIG weld parameters, and own the robotic welding process from new-part launch through stable production.

 

Key Responsibilities


  • Program, touch up, and optimize robotic weld paths on our OTC Daihen robots, and support future robot and welding cobot deployments

  • Develop, document, and optimize MIG (GMAW) and TIG (GTAW) parameters for thin-wall stainless steel tubing and assemblies

  • Develop weld processes for Inconel and other nickel alloys, including filler selection and heat input control

  • Solve weld quality problems: burn-through, porosity, lack of fusion, distortion, and oxidation/sugaring

  • Design and improve weld fixtures, tooling, and positioner setups for repeatability and cycle time

  • Implement and tune seam tracking and touch sensing

  • Create and maintain WPS/PQR documentation and weld inspection criteria, including cut-and-etch/macro testing

  • Lead robotic welding work on new product launches, from feasibility and quoting input through production release

  • Improve cycle time, first-pass yield, and consumable cost through data-driven process changes

  • Evaluate and specify new robotic and cobot welding cells, and work with integrators and OEMs on installation and buy-off

  • Train operators and technicians on robot operation, basic touch-ups, and weld quality standards

  • Support PFMEA, control plans, and root cause analysis (8D, 5-Why) for weld-related issues


Required Qualifications


  • Bachelor's degree in Welding, Mechanical, or Manufacturing Engineering, or 5+ years of equivalent hands-on robotic welding experience

  • Hands-on programming experience with at least one major industrial robot brand (FANUC, OTC Daihen, Yaskawa Motoman, ABB, or similar)

  • Strong working knowledge of MIG and TIG processes, including independent parameter development

  • Experience welding stainless steel, preferably thin-wall tube or sheet

  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, and AWS weld symbols

  • Comfortable working on the production floor and splitting time between the cell and the desk


Preferred Qualifications


  • OTC Daihen robot experience

  • Experience with multiple robot platforms and offline programming/simulation software

  • Welding cobot experience (e.g., Universal Robots-based welding packages or similar)

  • Inconel or other nickel alloy welding experience

  • Exhaust, automotive, or tube fabrication industry background

  • AWS Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) or Certified Robotic Arc Welding (CRAW) certification

  • Familiarity with IATF 16949, PPAP, and APQP

  • Spanish language skills
