JOB REQUIREMENTS: SCOPE OF ROLE The Robotic Welding Programmer is
responsible for creating and maintaining robotic welding programs. Their
duties include program creation/support/improvement, part selection and
development, design improvement recommendations, and robotic/automation
operations training. The requirements listed below are representative of
the knowledge, skill, competency and/or ability required to fulfill
These Duties. Other Duties As Assigned. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Robotic
Welding Programmer I Focus: Execution under guidance, Support, and
learning Creates and edits basic robotic & automation programs using
established standards. Reads and interprets drawings and work
instructions to support program creation. Assists with tooling and
fixture setup and basic testing. Makes minor mechanical or program
adjustments under guidance. Verifies engineering information and flags
discrepancies to manager. Notifies manager of quality concerns, delays,
or equipment issues. Collaborates with team members to support daily
production needs. Follows all safety guidelines and standard operating
procedures. Remains flexible and shifts tasks based on manufacturing
needs. Works within assigned deadlines to support production timelines.
Participates in continuous improvement discussions. Performs other
duties as assigned. Robotic Welding Programmer II Focus: Ownership of
processes and independent problem-solving Independently creates,
maintains, and improves robotic & automation programs. Analyzes
drawings, work instructions, and engineering data to optimize programs.
Designs, tests, and implements tooling and fixtures to support
production and quality. Makes mechanical and program adjustments to meet
quantity and quality requirements. Collaborates with maintenance to
ensure proper and timely equipment upkeep. Identifies process issues and
implements corrective actions. Suggests design improvements or
alternative automation methods. Guides part selection and supports
transition from manual to robotic operations. Communicates effectively
with cross-functional teams regarding issues and solutions. Contributes
ideas for continuous workflow and process improvement. Supports training
of operators and technicians on robotic cell operation. Ensures work
meets safety, quality, and production standards. Robotic Welding
Programmer III Focus: Strategy, leadership, creation, and complex
problem-solving Leads development, optimization, and standardization of
robotic & automation programs. Provides technical direction for complex
automation and integration challenges. Drives design improvements and
alternative methods in collaboration with engineering. Leads tooling and
fixture design strategy to improve efficiency, quality, and uptime.
Oversees transition of processes from manual to robotic operation.
Partners closely with maintenance and engineering to improve equipment
reliability. Identifies systemic issues and leads root-cause analysis
and long-term corrective actions. Mentors and trains technicians across
the facility in robotic cell operation and best practices. Reviews and
validates engineering information for manufacturability. Sets priorities
and adjusts work to meet changing manufacturing demands. Champions
safety, continuous improvement, and best-in-class automation practices.
Serves as escalation point for production, quality, and automation
issues \*\*\*\*\* OTHER EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS: Minimum
