### Become a Key Player as a Welder You will perform precision welding on aerospace components to ensure product integrity and safety. You will work onsite on a 1st shift schedule (Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM – 3:00 PM), collaborating with engineering and production teams and mentoring less-experienced welders to meet quality and throughput goals.
### Here's How You'll Make an Impact on the Team
- Set up and operate manual and automatic welding systems per work instructions and welding best practices
- Position and adjust fixtures and workpieces using hand tools and measuring devices
- Fine-tune welding processes within procedural limits to achieve conformance standards - Read and apply product/process drawings, procedures, weld symbols, and quality requirements
- Perform pre-weld cleaning, handling, and inspection of parts using visual and measuring methods - Maintain organized, clean, and FOD-free work areas and equipment
- Obtain and maintain required welding qualifications and certifications for applicable metals
- Troubleshoot and perform setup of weld equipment and work with engineering to resolve weld issues
- Provide guidance, training, and skill development support to less-experienced welders
### Here's What You'll Need to Be Successful in This Role
- Manual GTAW (TIG) certification to AWS D17.1 (Groups IIb, IIIb, VII; 1G required) or equivalent (1–6G acceptable)
- Experience programming, setting up, and running orbital GTAW equipment (e.g., Orbitalum, AMI) for aerospace work
- Hands-on experience welding exotic aerospace alloys such as Haynes 188, Hastelloy X, Inconel 718, and L-605
- Experience with purge systems, backing gas control, post-weld inspection methods, and WPS/WPQ/QTR execution
- High school diploma or equivalent
- At least 8+ years of welding or related experience, or demonstrated ability to perform the responsibilities listed
- Ability to read and understand blueprints, product/process drawings, weld symbols, and quality procedures
- Manual dexterity and basic mathematics / machine shop math skills
- Effective English verbal, written, and interpersonal communication skills
- Must be able to pass required screenings: FAA drug test, eye exam, and a weld test
### Here's What Else Might Help You Out
- Previous experience with aerospace-specific welding processes and certifications beyond minimum requirements
