Essential Duties and Responsibilities
- Programming & Optimization: Create, modify, and optimize robotic welding programs using both teach pendants and offline programming software. Adjust paths, weld parameters, and cycle times to ensure maximum efficiency and part consistency.
- Mechanical Support & Repair: Act as the first line of defense for robotic cell downtime. Perform mechanical repairs and troubleshooting on robotic arms, controllers, and welding peripherals.
- Preventative Maintenance: Develop and execute routine maintenance schedules for all robotic equipment, including torch maintenance, cable harness inspections, and axis lubrication.
- Production Support: Assist weld departments with cell setups, fixture adjustments, and part changeovers to ensure seamless transitions between production runs.
- Weld Quality Oversight: Monitor robotic weld quality and adjust parameters—such as wire feed speed, voltage, and travel speed—to meet Standard Iron’s rigorous quality standards.
- Inventory Management: Maintain a critical spare parts inventory to minimize emergency downtime.
- Training & Mentorship: Provide technical guidance and training to robotic operators and technicians on best practices for cell operation and minor troubleshooting.
Qualification Requirements
- Technical Expertise: 3–5 years of experience in robotic programming and maintenance within a metal manufacturing environment.
- Hands-on Skills: Proficiency in troubleshooting mechanical, electrical, and programming faults in a fast-paced production setting.
- Software Proficiency: Experience with offline programming and simulation tools (e.g., ABB RobotStudio or Fanuc ROBOGUIDE).
- Blueprint Literacy: Ability to read and interpret complex engineering drawings and welding symbols.
- Safety Mindset: Deep understanding of industrial safety protocols, including LOTO (Lockout/Tagout) and robot cell safety standards.
