Develop, program, and optimize robotic MIG/MAG welding systems for mild steel heavy fabrication, including robot paths, weld schedules, touch sensing, seam tracking, torch angles, travel speeds, shielding gas, wire selection, and process parameters.
Troubleshoot robotic weld issues related to programming, weld controls, fixturing, part fit-up, consumables, equipment condition, weld quality, and process variation. Lead root cause analysis and implement short- and long-term corrective actions.
Maintain welding systems to ensure manufacturing activities remain within specifications, including applicable WPS requirements, quality standards, process controls, KOM-MICs, and internal production requirements.
Support and monitor weld technicians by assisting with daily priorities, troubleshooting, training, and development from a MIG/MAG welding and robotic process perspective.
Partner with maintenance and production to support corrective maintenance activities, PM scheduling, spare parts readiness, robotic weld cell uptime, equipment reliability, and responsible equipment ownership.
Support new product introduction, engineering changes, tooling changes, and process launches by reviewing weld access, fixture repeatability, robot reach, cycle time, safety, manufacturability, and process documentation.
Collect, track, and analyze downtime, weld defect, rework, and process performance data. Recommend process improvements, automation updates, tooling improvements, and capital projects that improve safety, quality, delivery, or cost.
Support internal and external audits by providing welding process information, documentation, and evidence related to ISO 9001, customer standards, and company procedures as applicable.
