A bit about us:

Highly respected manufacturer specializing in engineered stainless steel solutions for demanding industrial applications. Our work requires technical precision, strong manufacturing discipline, and deep expertise in welding, fabrication, quality, and process improvement. We support complex products involving stainless steel, aluminum, sheet metal, weldments, large assemblies, and pressure-containing applications, where safety, repeatability, compliance, and craftsmanship are critical.

Why join us?

This is a strong opportunity for a hands-on Welding Engineer who wants to have a direct impact on welding performance, production capability, and manufacturing quality. The Welding Engineer will help develop and qualify welding procedures, troubleshoot weld issues, improve process consistency, support fixture development, and drive welding improvements across the operation. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being close to the shop floor, partnering with production and engineering teams, and using technical welding knowledge to solve real manufacturing challenges.

Job Details

The Welding Engineer is responsible for developing welding techniques, procedures, and equipment applications to support the fabrication of metals. This role will support and troubleshoot welding processes, investigate welding defects, develop corrective actions, improve production capabilities, and ensure welding processes are repeatable, traceable, and aligned with applicable codes, standards, and customer requirements.

This person will work closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Production, and shop-floor teams to optimize welding processes, improve workflow, develop fixtures, support work instructions, and help ensure that welding operations meet equipment, material, production, and compliance requirements.

Key Responsibilities
Welding Process Development & Support

Develop, support, and troubleshoot welding processes across stainless steel, aluminum, sheet metal, weldments, large assemblies, and pressure-containing applications.

Develop welding procedures that effectively utilize current and emerging welding technologies.

Improve production capabilities by optimizing welding processes, reducing inconsistencies, and driving weld quality improvements.

Provide technical guidance on welding challenges, equipment applications, and product material selection.

Evaluate production processes and recommend improvements to increase efficiency, consistency, quality, and repeatability.

Weld Defect Investigation & Corrective Action

Investigate and document welding defects to determine root cause and appropriate corrective actions.

Analyze weld issues related to process parameters, materials, equipment, fixtures, operator technique, and production conditions.

Partner with production and quality teams to reduce weld defects, improve first-pass quality, and prevent recurring issues.

Use structured problem-solving methods to support corrective action and continuous improvement efforts.

Welding Procedures, Codes & Qualifications

Develop and qualify welding procedures for stainless steel and aluminum applications.

Support welding procedure development and qualification across structural, over-the-road, agricultural, and pressure-containing products.

Apply strong working knowledge of AWS and ASME welding codes and standards, including AWS D1.2/D1.2M, AWS D1.6/D1.6M, AWS D14.3/D14.3M, ASME BPVC Section IX, and ASME Section VIII pressure vessel requirements.

Support WPS/PQR qualification activity for pressure vessel and related applications.

Ensure welding processes are compliant with applicable code, customer, regulatory, equipment, and internal requirements.

Advanced Welding Technology

Support advanced welding process development, including cold wire GTAW, hot wire GTAW, hybrid laser welding, and laser hot wire or laser cold wire systems.

Evaluate new welding technologies and equipment applications to improve throughput, consistency, quality, and production capability.

Partner with Engineering and Manufacturing to identify opportunities for automation, process improvement, and welding technology advancement.

Ensure new welding technologies are properly documented, validated, and implemented into production.

Manufacturing Engineering & Work Instructions

Create and update manufacturing work instructions, equipment manuals, technical specifications, and process documentation.

Use CAD software to create drawings and support welding project design, fixture development, and component requirements.

Design welding projects and communicate specific equipment, tooling, fixture, and component needs.

Ensure manufacturing processes are in compliance with equipment requirements, limitations, and operational standards.

Fixtures, Programming & Traceability

Develop fixtures for welding program applications and support efficient, repeatable fixture selection and use.

Manage fixture assets, documentation, and instructions to ensure successful application across production.

Provide flexible program offerings across multiple machines and support programming consistency.

Ensure traceability and repeatability through programs and ERP communications.

Troubleshoot program challenges and reduce product inconsistencies through improved process controls.

Production Analysis & Continuous Improvement

Analyze production processes, schedules, methods, workflow, and related manufacturing data.

Provide management with reports, data, and statistics to support decision-making around future manufacturing requirements.

Evaluate and improve workflow across welding and fabrication operations.

Contribute ideas for continuous improvement of processes, production flow, weld quality, and operational efficiency.

Maintain a strong GEMBA and 6S mindset, with a focus on practical shop-floor problem solving and sustainable improvement.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Technical Leadership

Partner closely with production teams, engineering, quality, and leadership to solve welding and manufacturing challenges.

Communicate technical concepts in clear, practical terms for operators, supervisors, engineers, and leadership.

Lead, teach, and support team members on welding processes, technical standards, and best practices.

Problem-solve effectively with work teams and support a culture of accountability, safety, quality, and continuous improvement.

Safety & Compliance

Follow all safety guidelines, procedures, and PPE requirements.

Support safe welding and manufacturing practices across the operation.

Ensure welding processes, fixtures, equipment, and procedures are aligned with safety, quality, and compliance expectations.

Perform other duties as assigned.
