Welding and Automation Engineer
Salary not disclosed
Braun was founded with a clear purpose: to support those who serve on the frontlines of emergency response. What began as a pattern shop under the vision of Charles J. Braun has grown into a trusted name in ambulance manufacturing—driven by innovation and a deep understanding of the EMS community.
Early on, we recognized a critical need: ambulances built not just to transport, but to perform under pressure. When lives hang in the balance, equipment must be reliable. That insight shaped our mission and helped set a new standard in the industry.
The Welding and Automation Engineer is responsible for the development, implementation, optimization, and support of welding processes and automated manufacturing systems in an automotive production environment. This role ensures high-quality welds, consistent production outputs, and seamless integration of robotic and automated equipment. The ideal candidate will collaborate across departments to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and support new product launches.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
As the Welding and Automation Engineer, you will:
Process Development & Optimization
- Develop and optimize welding processes (MIG, TIG, resistance, laser, etc.) to meet automotive standards.
- Define and maintain welding parameters and procedures.
- Conduct root cause analysis for welding defects and implement corrective actions.
Automation & Robotics
- Program and troubleshoot robotic welding cells (e.g., ABB, FANUC, KUKA).
- Design and implement automation solutions for welding and material handling.
- Support PLC-based systems and ensure integration with factory controls.
Quality & Compliance
- Ensure compliance with industry standards (AWS, ISO, IATF 16949).
- Work with quality and production teams to monitor and improve weld quality.
- Conduct regular weld audits and support PPAP submissions.
Project Management & Support
- Lead projects for new equipment installations and upgrades.
- Support new model launches with weld feasibility studies and tooling.
- Develop and maintain PFMEAs, control plans, and work instructions.
Continuous Improvement
- Use lean manufacturing and Six Sigma tools to identify and implement process improvements.
- Drive cost reduction initiatives related to welding consumables, cycle time, and scrap.
QUALIFICATIONS
As the Welding and Automation Engineer, you will have:
Essential:
- Bachelor's degree in Welding Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
- 3+ years of experience in welding and/or automation within automotive or high-volume manufacturing.
- Proficiency in robotic programming (ABB/FANUC/KUKA) and PLC troubleshooting (Siemens/Allen-Bradley).
- Strong knowledge of weld inspection techniques (visual, destructive, non-destructive).
- Familiarity with GD&T, AutoCAD/SolidWorks, and Microsoft Office tools.
- AWS certification or equivalent is a plus.
Core Competencies & Skills:
- Analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Strong project management and organizational abilities.
- Excellent communication and teamwork.
- Detail-oriented and safety-conscious.
