For reference, TIG welder jobs across California currently run a median of $29/hr in our index, with the middle half of them falling between $25–$31/hr across 25 postings with published pay. That median is a reasonable floor to anchor on when a recruiter asks what you're looking for.
El Monte, CA currently has 3 other active welding openings besides this one, spread across 2 employers. None of them were added in the last week, so this is a slower-moving market. Across California as a whole we're tracking 586 other active welding openings from 267 employers. That's enough local activity to be worth comparing two or three offers before committing.

Jobot Consulting currently has 2 other openings live in California, which is usually a sign of either steady growth or steady turnover — worth asking which in the interview.
The most active employers in California at the moment, by number of open welding reqs, are SpaceX (37), Relativity Space (22), and Welding Shop in Los Angeles, CA (18). Volume like that usually means either a genuine expansion or a staffing agency working several client sites — worth knowing which before you apply.

This posting calls for TIG. TIG (GTAW) uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode with filler added by hand, giving the operator the most control of any process. It is slow, demanding, and the standard for stainless, aluminum, and anything where the bead has to look as good as it holds.
