Senior Welding Engineer

Responsibilities

• Support weld shop development to support full scale welded assemblies
• Develop, optimize, and qualify weld processes and parameters for multiple welding processes including but not limited to laser beam welding, gas tungsten arc welding, resistance welding, gas metal arc welding, and plasma arc welding
• Support design, manufacturing, and materials engineering with root cause analysis
• Work closely with design, tooling, automation, and development engineers to improve welded designs for manufacturing
• Scope out new welding technologies that may be employed to improve rate/quality/efficiency
• Set up welding qualification test campaigns and interpret mechanical testing and NDE results
• Support manufacturing engineers and welders on correct techniques in a fast paced manufacturing environment
• Develop and implement improved process control where possible using test and NDE results as feedback loop

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline
• Hands-on fabrication, manufacturing, or testing experience of welded assemblies

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Master’s degree in welding engineering or related technical program
• Hands on welding experience of stainless steel, nickel-based, titanium, copper, and aluminum alloys
• Fundamental understanding of welding processes including, but not limited to laser beam, plasma arc, gas tungsten arc, and gas metal arc
• Tooling design experience for welded assemblies to reduce part distortion and improve part consistency
• Understanding of weld strength testing methodologies, standards, and data acquisition systems used to make informed welding decisions (ASTM E8, E399, E740, ISO 15653, AWS D17.X, AWS C7.X, thermos-couples, strain gages, etc.)
• Experience with root cause analysis and corrective actions including, but not limited to, optical and SEM fractography/metallography, hardness, chemical analysis, and mechanical testing
• Self-motivated engineer with keen attention to detail
