Welder

About The Role:

As a Welder, you will play a key role in fabricating, assembling, and joining structural and piping components critical to our production and mission operations. You’ll work closely with engineering and manufacturing teams to execute precise, high-quality welds across a variety of materials, ensuring all products meet rigorous performance and safety standards. This role is hands-on and suited for an experienced professional who thrives in a fast-paced, technical, and safety-focused environment.

Responsibilities

• Perform precision TIG, MIG, and arc welding on carbon steel, stainless steel, and high-nickel alloys.
• Interpret engineering drawings and welding symbols to ensure dimensional accuracy and conformance.
• Execute high-precision laser welding on thin-gauge and high-strength alloys, maintaining tight control of heat input, distortion, and weld integrity in mission-critical hardware.
• Fabricate, assemble, and pressure-test structural and piping systems supporting aerospace and defense operations.
• Maintain compliance with ASME, AWS, and company weld standards, following approved procedures.
• Uphold strict safety, cleanliness, and quality standards in all work areas.
• Collaborate with engineering, quality, and production teams to resolve fabrication challenges.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives and contribute to process optimization.

Requirements

• High school diploma or GED; technical welding certification preferred.
• 5+ years of experience in aerospace, defense, or high-precision fabrication.
• Skilled in blueprint interpretation and all-position welding (flat, horizontal, vertical, overhead).
• Proven ability to fabricate and weld carbon and stainless structures and pipe to spec.
• Must pass company-administered weld qualification tests and internal inspections.
• Available to work overtime and varied shifts to meet mission timelines.
• Physically able to lift 50 lbs, work at heights, and operate in confined or outdoor environments.
• Up to 25% travel

Preferred Skills and Experience

• 5+ years of GTAW welding experience with stainless, carbon, Inconel, aluminum, or titanium.
• Knowledge of ASME Section IX, AWS D17.1, or MIL-STD welding codes.
• Experience in aerospace component fabrication or ground support systems.
• Skilled in tube and pipe cutting, grinding, and precision assembly.
• Familiar with pressure testing, inspection, and NDE methods.
• Proficient with precision measuring instruments and quality documentation.
• Understanding of welding metallurgy and heat control for high-integrity welds.
• Familiarity with advanced tooling and fixturing practices used in precision welded assembly fabrication.

Physical Requirements:

• Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer.
• Frequent walking through office, manufacturing, and test facility environments.
• Occasional standing, bending, or reaching as part of employee engagement or site walkthroughs.
