Responsible for programming, optimization, and troubleshooting of robotic paint application processes in automated paint booths. This position focuses on ensuring high-quality finishes, process stability, and continuous improvement in coating performance.
Key responsibilities include:
- Programming and offline/online adjustment of paint robots (Dürr / FANUC) for base coat, clear coat, and primer applications.
- Optimization of paint parameters such as atomization, flow rate, shaping air, and electrostatic settings to meet quality standards.
- Analysis and reduction of defects such as mottling, color variation (open color), runs, and overspray.
- Support in process validation, trials, and implementation of engineering changes.
- Collaboration with maintenance and production teams to troubleshoot equipment and process issues.
- Monitoring and improving KPIs related to first-time quality (FTQ), scrap, and efficiency.
- Ensuring compliance with safety, environmental, and quality standards.
Qualifications
Basic Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Mechatronics, Industrial, or related).
- Experience in robotic programming, preferably in paint applications.
- Knowledge of automated paint systems and application processes.
- Understanding of paint parameters, defect analysis, and process control.
- Ability to read and interpret technical documentation and process sheets.
- Intermediate to advanced English level.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with Dürr and/or FANUC paint robots.
- Knowledge of electrostatic paint application systems.
- Experience with water-based paint systems (e.g., Axalta).
- Familiarity with PLCs, HMI systems, and industrial networks.
- Experience in automotive paint shops (primer, base coat, clear coat).
- Strong problem-solving skills and continuous improvement mindset (Lean / Six Sigma).
- Ability to work in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
