Job Description

• Read and interpret blueprints, models, and work instructions to set-up and weld tight-tolerance parts using GTAW and GMAW.
• Accurately measure and inspect welded assemblies with ±.005”-.030” tolerances using calipers, micrometers, and other high-precision measuring instruments.
• Collaborate with other coworkers to determine manufacturing solutions for overcoming distortion, shrinkage, and other unforeseen welding related obstacles.
• Maintain a clean, organized work environment and comply with company-wide 5S standards.
• Perform duties in other departments as workload requires.

• 6 years of verifiable and applicable experience in aerospace or high precision tube welding
• Experience with welding thin (.025”-.060”) aerospace alloys such as aluminum, titanium, Inconel, and other reactive alloys.
• Must be able to see minuscule characteristics of the weld puddle and make fine adjustments to the tig welding process to establish new procedure qualifications. This includes passing radiographic testing of thin aluminum tubes with porosity allowances in the .007”-.010” range.
• Experience with straightening/forming of aerospace tube/duct components preferred
• Ability to think creatively and generate out-of-the-box solutions.
• Candidate must be a self-starter and have a desire to take on challenges with a “can do” attitude
• Comprehensive knowledge of AWS D17.1 preferred
• Must be able to maintain notes and records of key welding characteristics such as amperage, A/C waveforms, technique, shrinkage/distortion measurements, etc.
• CWI certification is a plus
• Candidate must have strong mathematical and reading comprehension abilities, including the ability to read measurements in increments of .001” using calipers, micrometers, and other measuring instruments.
• Experience with safe rigging/lifting techniques for lifting complex assemblies using overhead cranes, forklifts, etc.
• Consistent and dependable attendance.
