- Follow established procedures while maintaining quality, safety, and attention to detail.
- Support a fast-paced, collaborative environment where priorities and production needs may evolve.
What We're Looking For
- Hands-on experience operating industrial robots, ideally ABB or FANUC.
- Direct experience using a teach pendant to move, position, or control robotic equipment.
- Understanding of robotic automation, robot movements, and working within automated manufacturing cells.
- Experience in manufacturing, automotive, industrial automation, or prototype environments.
- Ability to follow established processes, work independently on assigned tasks, and recognize when to escalate issues.
- Strong attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and willingness to learn.
Nice to Have
- Robotic welding or automated welding experience.
- Experience working with ABB and FANUC robotic systems.
- Prototype manufacturing, fixture adjustment, or part fit-up experience.
- Exposure to laser welding or battery manufacturing.
