hands-on welding experience with robotic programming, path planning, and

troubleshooting skills across multiple industrial robotic control platforms.

Key Responsibilities

? Operate and program robotic welding systems utilizing:

o FANUC Teach Pendant programming (TP programming language)

o Collaborative robot control interfaces (URScript, CRX, or other Cobot

platforms)

o Multi-axis industrial robot programming (general 6-axis control

experience, regardless of brand)

? Perform routine maintenance, calibrations, and troubleshooting on robotic

welding equipment.

? Conduct tool center point (TCP) calibrations, torch angle adjustments, and wire

feed maintenance.

? Manage consumables inventory (wire, gas, contact tips, torch parts, liners) and

replace as needed.

? Optimize robot paths, weld sequences, and work cell layouts for welding large

structural steel panels.

? Read and interpret welding blueprints, symbols, joint configurations, and panel

assembly drawings.

? Collaborate with engineering, quality assurance, and production teams to ensure

high weld integrity, productivity, and adherence to production time constraints.

? Maintain compliance with safety regulations and promote a safe working

environment.

Required Qualifications

? Minimum 2 years of welding experience (FCAW, GMAW preferred).

? At least 1 year robotic welding experience (programming, path teaching, or

operation).

? Hands-on experience with at least one industrial robot programming interface

(e.g., FANUC TP, ABB RAPID, Yaskawa INFORM, KUKA KRL, URScript, or

similar industrial robotic languages).

? Strong mechanical aptitude and troubleshooting skills.

? Ability to read blueprints, welding symbols, and layout plans.

Preferred AWS Certifications

? AWS Certified Robotic Arc Welding (CRAW) - Operator or Technician

? AWS Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) or Senior CWI (SCWI)

? AWS Certified Welding Supervisor (CWS)

? Additional endorsements in automation, robotics, or welding processes are a

plus.

Preferred Experience

? Multi-axis robotic welding (6-axis industrial or collaborative robots).

? Welding of large structural panels, flat plate assemblies, and shipbuilding or

heavy fabrication.
