Robotic Welding Applications Engineer

X-Series USA designs and builds advanced industrial machinery, including robotic welding automation. They are seeking a hands-on Applications Engineer to become a subject-matter expert on their BeamWELD robotic welding system, focusing on practical welding experience and customer-facing applications.

Responsibilities

• Develop a thorough understanding of the BeamWELD system, including its welding capabilities, safety features, basic programming, and daily operation
• Become a primary internal resource for running typical BeamWELD jobs and basic troubleshooting
• Set up and run weld trials on structural and fabricated components such as beams, columns, frames, brackets, stiffeners, and plate weldments
• Assist in developing and refining welding parameters to achieve consistent quality and productivity
• Support the creation and maintenance of Procedure Qualification Records (PQRs) and Welding Procedure Specifications (WPSs) under the guidance of senior staff
• Install and commission new BeamWELD systems at customer facilities, coordinating with the X-Series engineering and service teams as needed
• Perform and document system calibration, basic functional tests, and initial weld trials
• Work alongside senior engineers to help identify and resolve issues related to the welding process, basic machine hardware, safety devices, and configuration
• Provide remote support to customers by reviewing photos, videos, weld parameters, and error descriptions to help diagnose and resolve issues
• When needed, support on-site service visits for more complex problems, in coordination with the service and engineering teams
• Log, track, and follow up on customer issues to ensure they are resolved and that lessons learned are communicated internally
• Support training of customer welders and operators on machine operation, weld setup, and routine maintenance
• Assist with in-house and on-site demonstrations for prospects and customers
• Communicate observations from shop and field use back to engineering and management, including opportunities for product, process, and documentation improvements
• Contribute to internal guides, parameter charts, and troubleshooting documents as your expertise develops

Skills

• Hands-on welding experience using processes such as GMAW, FCAW, SMAW, or similar in any of the following environments: Job-shop or custom fabrication, Structural or industrial fabrication, Equipment repair or maintenance, Manufacturing / production welding
• You do not need to be a code-certified structural welder, but you must be comfortable striking an arc, adjusting basic parameters, and evaluating basic weld quality
• Ability to read and interpret fabrication drawings and weld symbols
• Experience tuning welding parameters and troubleshooting common weld defects
• Experience working with industrial machinery, fabrication equipment, or automated systems (e.g., CNC machines, robots, production lines, or similar)
• Comfort working in an industrial environment around machinery and production equipment
• Mechanical aptitude and basic diagnostic skills: Comfortable inspecting torches, wire feed systems, gas, coolant, and fixtures; Familiar with using hand tools and basic test equipment
• Tech-savvy and willing to learn: HMI-style interfaces, Offline programming/simulation tools, Calibration and diagnostic utilities
• Clear, professional communication skills and the ability to work effectively with welders, supervisors, engineers, and customers
• Experience with robotic welding or other robotic automation in a production environment
• Prior exposure to commissioning industrial machinery (machine vision systems, safety circuits, light curtains, etc.)
• Experience writing or maintaining WPS/PQR documentation to structural welding codes (e.g., AWS D1.1 or similar)
• AWS CWI or previous CWI experience (not required, but a plus)

Benefits

• Paid time off and holidays
• 401(k) with company match
• Health Insurance
• Direct mentorship and skill development
