Job Description

As a robotic welder, you monitor and operate welding robots, including setting up details in fixtures and starting up robot programs. You are responsible for setting up the robot cell according to the production plan, monitoring the welding process, and making adjustments as needed to ensure high quality of welds. The tasks also include manual welding when necessary (MIG/MAG) for example for tack welding or finishing work on larger components. You perform self-control of the welds and ensure they meet the customer's quality requirements. Reading drawings and understanding welding symbols are important tasks, both for interpreting instructions and for simpler robot programming. The role may also include maintenance of the robot cell and collaboration with production technicians to optimize the welding processes.

We are looking for you who

• Have practical experience of welding with MIG/MAG. You are a certified MIG/MAG welder with a valid welding test according to ISO 9606-1 (steel).
• Have experience of robotic welding: You have previously worked as a robot operator, or alternatively as an advanced machine operator with welding skills. You understand how a robot cell works, can handle programming or adaptation of robot programs in a basic form, and have an interest in industrial automation.
• Master drawing reading and technical understanding: Ability to read and work according to welding drawings (including welding symbols) and work instructions. Technical knowledge and problem-solving skills are important for handling the robot's settings and resolving any operational disturbances.
• Have material and quality knowledge: Habit of working with coarse steel materials and understanding of welding parameters for thicker goods. You are quality-conscious and accustomed to performing visual inspections of welds.
• Master Swedish in speech and writing to communicate with colleagues and follow safety routines.

Merits:

• Robot system knowledge: Experience with specific robot systems is highly meritorious – e.g., programming or courses in robotics.
• Broad welding competence: Skills in manual welding with several methods (e.g., TIG or MMA) as well as understanding of industrial automation processes.
• Handling of heavy components: Overhead crane and forklift licenses are appreciated as the work involves larger details that require movement with lifting equipment.
• Education: Industrial technical education, preferably with a focus on welding/automation.
