Senior Electron Beam Welding Engineer

Responsibilities

• Procedure Development & Qualification
• Design, develop, and maintain EBW procedures and supporting documentation (WPS/PQR)
• To meet material, joint, and quality requirements in compliance with applicable codes, standards (e.g., AWS, ASME, API), and regulatory expectations.
• Develop and execute weld qualification plans, including test coupons and validation trials, in coordination with quality and materials teams
• Anticipate future welding needs by aligning EBW procedures and qualification strategies with evolving product designs, manufacturing processes, and regulatory demands.

Quality Assurance & Process Optimization

• Oversee and review EBW inspections to verify compliance with design specifications and applicable quality standards.
• Analyze weld test data to identify trends, determine root causes of defects, and implement corrective actions to enhance welding performance and reliability.
• Lead continuous improvement initiatives to optimize EBW processes, increase efficiency, reduce cost, and maintain high-quality output.

Collaboration & Training

• Partner with design engineers, production teams, and key stakeholders to integrate EBW processes into the manufacturing workflow effectively.
• Provide hands-on training and mentorship to welding technicians and operators on EBW techniques, safety protocols, and industry best practices.

Technical Documentation & Reporting

• Develop and maintain comprehensive technical documentation, including process instructions, work procedures, and detailed reports.
• Ensure accurate recordkeeping of EBW procedures, inspection results, and quality control data to support traceability and continuous improvement.

Equipment Ownership & Maintenance

• Ensure performance, reliability, and availability of EBW systems, including high-vacuum chambers, beam control units, and power supplies.
• Monitor and calibrate critical parameters (e.g., beam alignment, focus, power output, vacuum integrity) to maintain process consistency and compliance with specifications.
• Lead maintenance and upgrade initiatives, including preventive planning, troubleshooting, vendor coordination, and system improvements to enhance automation and long-term equipment reliability.
