Aerospace Welding Engineer
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content. We have content: About Intuitive Machines (company description) and About The Position (role description). Could combine into "About the role" maybe. The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should map content accordingly.
We have:
- About Intuitive Machines: description of company. Could be part of "About the role"? Usually "About the role" is description of position. But we have both company and position. We could create an "About the role" section containing the position description (The Aerospace Welding Engineer will own...). The company description could be omitted? It's substantive but not about role. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include company description somewhere. Could we put it under a heading like "About Intuitive Machines"? But allowed headings list only those examples; but we can use other headings? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., implying those are examples but we could use other headings if needed? It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. But we need to include company info; maybe we can include it in a
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. But we need to include company info; maybe we can include it in a
before any heading, as introductory paragraph. That's allowed: we can have prose before headings. The instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can have an introductory
for company description, then sections.
Thus:
Houston, TX About Intuitive Machines Intuitive Machines is an innovative and cutting-edge space company making cislunar space accessible to both public and private customers. Our mission is to further science and exploration, communications, and economic progress from the Earth to the Moon and beyond. With multiple NASA lunar missions in development and additional private missions on our manifest, we pride ourselves in supporting NASA, our customers, and the nation in paving the way to return humans to the surface of the Moon. Our world-class team includes experts in all aspects of spacecraft subsystems design, development, and test, on-orbit operations, and safety.
Then About the role
with the position description: "The Aerospace Welding Engineer will own and support welding and joining processes used to manufacture mission-critical spaceflight hardware. This role will translate design requirements into qualified, repeatable production processes; provide hands-on support to welders, technicians, suppliers, and inspectors; and ensure welded assemblies meet drawing, material, workmanship, and program requirements. The ideal candidate combines strong welding metallurgy and process-engineering fundamentals with practical experience delivering high-reliability aerospace hardware."
Then Responsibilities: list each bullet as - .
Then Requirements: list each bullet.
Then Preferred Requirements: could be under "Qualifications" or "Skills"? The instruction includes Qualifications and Skills headings. We have "Preferred Requirements". Could treat as "Qualifications" (maybe includes both required and preferred). But we already have Requirements section for required. Preferred could be under "Qualifications" or "Skills". Since they said prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones, we could combine Preferred Requirements into a "Qualifications" section that includes both required and preferred? But we already have Requirements. Maybe we make a "Qualifications" section for preferred. Or we could add a "Skills" section for preferred technical skills. Let's examine preferred list: Master's degree, certifications, experience with NASA standards, experience welding thin-wall tanks, etc., experience with titanium, nickel-based superalloys, etc., familiarity with NDE method selection, weld process automation, SPC, metallographic evaluation, lab failure analysis, ERP/MES and engineering collaboration experience using tools such as Boltline, Confluence, JIRA, or similar systems.
These are qualifications/skills. Could put under "Qualifications". But we already used Requirements for required. Could rename Requirements to "Required Qualifications" but instruction says use heading Requirements. So we keep Requirements for required. Then we can add a "Qualifications" heading for preferred. Or we could add a "Skills" heading for preferred. Since they gave both Qualifications and Skills as examples, we can use Qualifications for preferred (since they are more like qualifications). Let's do that.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications.
We should not include Benefits, Pay, Schedule as not present.
Now we need to preserve all substantive information: ensure we don't lose any bullet points.
Let's extract responsibilities bullets:
- Develop, qualify, release, and maintain welding procedures and supporting documentation, including WPS, PQR, and welder or operator qualifications, for applicable fusion, resistance, and solid-state joining processes.
- Serve as the technical authority for welding of flight and ground-support hardware, providing direction from design and material selection through fabrication, inspection, acceptance, and delivery.
- Review engineering drawings, weld symbols, specifications, joint designs, tolerances, and material callouts for producibility and compliance with program requirements.
- Establish and control essential process variables, tooling, shielding, cleanliness, fit-up, filler materials, heat input, preheat or post-weld heat treatment, and environmental controls.
- Evaluate weld metallurgy, distortion, residual stress, defect mechanisms, and compatibility for aluminum, stainless and high-strength steels, titanium, nickel-based alloys, and other aerospace materials.
- Define inspection and acceptance plans in partnership with Quality and NDE personnel, including visual, dimensional, penetrant, radiographic, ultrasonic, leak, proof, and metallographic examinations as applicable.
- Lead weld-related nonconformance investigations and root-cause analyses; develop repair procedures, corrective actions, and recurrence-prevention plans with Design, Stress, Materials and Processes, Quality, and Manufacturing teams.
- Support fracture-critical and pressure-system hardware reviews, design-for-manufacture trades, risk assessments, first-article builds, process capability studies, and production readiness reviews.
- Provide shop-floor support during setup, tack welding, welding, rework, repair, inspection, and test; train and mentor welders, technicians, and engineers on approved practices.
- Qualify and monitor external welding suppliers, review supplier procedures and records, and resolve technical issues affecting quality, schedule, or configuration control.
- Maintain complete, auditable manufacturing records and traceability for procedures, personnel qualifications, materials, equipment calibration, consumables, inspection results, and as-built configuration.
Now Requirements bullets:
- Bachelor's degree in Welding Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field.
- 3+ years of engineering experience developing or supporting welding and joining processes for aerospace, defense, pressure systems, or other high-reliability hardware.
