Located in Webb, AL
Salary: $25- BOE
Position Summary: The Robotics, Automation & Fabrication Systems Analyst supports robotic welding and CNC-driven fabrication workflows by converting design and CNC data into actionable production plans. This role runs robotic welding simulations, analyzes performance data, identifies “robot-friendly” parts for automation, develops efficiency metrics, and translates 3D model data into estimated man-hours to support machine and production bay schedules. The position also provides 3D CAD modeling support for fabrication and automation planning needs.
Key Responsibilities:
Robotic Welding Simulation & Analytics
Import CNC/robot program files into simulation software and validate/prepare models and paths for analysis.
Extract simulation outputs (cycle time, weld time, travel time, efficiency rates, automation vs. manual fabrication hours) and summarize results.
Build and maintain an efficiency matrix and part-ranking system to identify robot-friendly parts and recommend automation candidates.
Flag constraints (fixturing needs, access issues, sequencing concerns, distortion risk, joint prep complexity) and recommend improvements.
Collaborate with production and QA teams to verify assumptions and close the loop between simulation predictions and shop results.
Data-Driven Scheduling
Import model data into estimating/production software or internal tools.
Convert part/assembly data into estimated fabrication labor hours using routing standards and historical performance data.
Create and maintain production routings and time standards for machines and bays.
Support machine and bay scheduling by summarizing work based on estimated hours, capacity, constraints, and due dates.
Monitor plan vs. actual performance; refine time standards and scheduling logic for accuracy improvement.
3D CAD & Fabrication Systems Support
Develop and edit 3D CAD models for fixtures, weldments, tooling, or process planning needs.
Create/maintain models used in robotic simulation with correct geometry, datums, and metadata.
Support continuous improvement initiatives related to automation, data integrity, and production reporting.
Required Qualifications
2+ years’ experience in manufacturing, fabrication, robotics support, CNC/programming, production planning, or manufacturing analytics (steel fabrication preferred).
Experience importing/working with CNC or robotic program data and interpreting outputs.
Strong Excel and data skills (tables, pivot tables, charts; ability to structure datasets cleanly).
3D CAD competency (SolidWorks, Inventor, Fusion 360, or similar).
Ability to communicate clearly with both shop-floor teams and engineering/detailing.
Preferred Qualifications
Robotic welding simulation experience (any major platform) and/or robotic programming exposure.
Familiarity with structural steel fabrication workflows and constraints (fit-up, weld sequence, distortion, quality standards).
Experience with production scheduling, routing, or ERP/MES systems; using historical data to build time standards.
Basic scripting or automation skills (e.g., Excel PowerQuery, Python, SQL) a plus.
