Welding Engineer

We are looking for a Welding Engineer to join our Applications team who has a strong understanding of what it takes to perform high quality welds through manual and robotic welding processes. But you want to deploy that knowledge to a new platform, the humanoid robot. In short, we need someone to own the welding aspects of our application development. Your Role: - Develop and refine motion paths for the welding humanoid robot. - Optimize weld parameters (voltage, amperage, shielding gas) to minimize thermal distortion and maximize penetration. - Collaborate with governing bodies to develop standards and certification processes for the humanoid robot. - Identify required sensors and tooling for performing welding tasks. - Translate welding domain knowledge into requirements for perception, manipulation, and controls teams. We’re Looking For: - M.S., B.S. in Welding Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or Manufacturing Engineering. - 5+ years of experience in a welding operations role in heavy equipment manufacturing. - Hands-on experience with MIG, GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding) and FCAW ( Flux-core Arc Welding) welding processes across a range of materials and welding positions. - Ability to thrive operating in a fast paced engineering environment with a lot of autonomy. - Strong ability to create documentation, welding processes, and reports to aid in certification and qualification. - Comfort with ambiguity and first-of-kind applications. This role requires building processes from scratch, not maintaining established ones. Preferred or Bonus Qualifications - Strong working knowledge of industry welding codes, standards, and the required documentation for certification and qualification. - Experience designing and implementing robotic welding algorithms such as touch sensing, through-the-arc seam tracking, and laser seam tracking. - Experience with verification testing of weld path accuracy and repeatability. - Operational experience in robotic welding or in demanding industrial environments. - Project management experience.
