• Weld thin- and thick-gauge materials while maintaining required dimensional tolerances and weld quality.
• Maintain dimensional tolerances of ±.030 inches or tighter when required by engineering specifications.
• Perform TIG welding on thin-gauge stainless steel while controlling heat input, weld penetration, and material distortion.
• Read and interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, weld symbols, and customer specifications.
• Independently set up and operate TIG welding equipment, selecting appropriate welding parameters and filler materials.
• Identify, troubleshoot, and repair welding defects, including porosity, incomplete fusion, excessive penetration, and distortion.
• Inspect completed parts and assemblies with little to no supervision to ensure compliance with quality standards.
• Use measuring tools, fixtures, and gauges to verify dimensional accuracy and weld quality.
• Perform troubleshooting and problem-solving related to welding processes, equipment, and material conditions.
• Adjust and align fabricated components as needed to meet dimensional and assembly requirements.
• Apply appropriate welding techniques to minimize warping, shrinkage, and other heat-related defects.
• Maintain proper weld penetration, consistency, appearance, and structural integrity.
• Identify recurring quality issues and recommend corrective or preventive measures.
• Set up and operate multiple welding processes or equipment within the department as needed.
• Accurately barcode all jobs and record labor activities for production time management and tracking.
• Maintain accurate job documentation and production records using Epicor ERP or other designated systems.
• Assist in training and supporting less-experienced welders as needed.
• Coordinate with Production, Engineering, and Quality teams to resolve manufacturing or welding concerns.
• Maintain welding equipment, tools, and workstations in safe operating condition.
• Follow all company safety procedures, use required PPE, and practice 6S standards.
• Support other manufacturing areas when needed.
• Perform additional duties as assigned by management.

Requirements

• Minimum of three (3) years of direct, hands-on TIG (GTAW) welding experience required; three to five years preferred.
• High school diploma, GED, or equivalent work experience preferred.
• Vocational welding training or welding certifications a plus.
• Previous experience in precision sheet metal fabrication or manufacturing required.
• Experience TIG welding thin-gauge stainless steel required.
• Experience welding aluminum and steel required.
• Demonstrated experience maintaining dimensional tolerances of ±.030 inches or tighter.
• Experience reading and interpreting engineering drawings, weld symbols, and manufacturing specifications.
• Experience with weld penetration control, distortion prevention, and precision part fit-up.
• MIG welding experience preferred.
• Aluminum MIG welding experience a plus.
• Experience in aerospace, semiconductor, medical device, or other precision manufacturing environments preferred.
• Robotic welding or programming experience a plus.

Additional Information
