Robotic Weld Engineer - Night Shift

Position Overview

International Motors is hiring a Robotic Weld Engineer - Night Shift in San Antonio, TX!

Are you passionate about robotics, welding technology, and manufacturing automation? Join International Motors in a hands-on, high-impact role where you’ll optimize robotic weld cells, support FANUC robotic systems, and drive improvements across advanced manufacturing operations.

As the primary Weld Engineering resource on night shift, you’ll work directly on the production floor to troubleshoot automation and welding challenges, minimize downtime, restore production, and implement lasting solutions that improve safety, quality, and operational performance.

As International Motors continues to grow in San Antonio, we are expanding our production operations with the introduction of a night production shift. The night shift is Monday through Thursday from 5:30 PM to 4:00 AM, with production planned to begin in early 2027. This is a salaried position supporting a manufacturing operation. While the primary schedule aligns with the designated production shift, employees are expected to provide operational support as needed to meet business objectives. This may require working outside normal production hours, including extended shifts, production startup activities, recovery efforts, and occasional weekend support based on operational requirements.
