Days Description:

We are seeking a skilled TIG (GTAW) Welder to produce and repair precision, thin-gauge stainless steel and titanium components used in demanding service environments. This role supports the manufacture of high-reliability sealing components and related assemblies for regulated industries, where workmanship, documentation, and process discipline are critical.

Job Duties:

Precision TIG welding (GTAW) on thin-gauge stainless steel and titanium using approved WPS/PQR requirements, with strong emphasis on heat control, distortion management, and cosmetic/structural quality. Set up and weld using fixtures, chill bars, purge dams, and argon back-purge techniques to ensure clean, oxide-free welds (especially on titanium). Perform weld repair/rework to specification while maintaining part integrity, traceability, and compliance to traveler/route documentation. Read and interpret engineering drawings, weld symbols, and dimensional requirements; work closely with Engineering and Quality to resolve fit-up, joint design, and process issues. Complete required production records (travelers, weld logs, heat/lot traceability, filler material control) in support of customer, regulatory, and internal audits. Support inspection and verification activities, including collaboration with in-process/final inspection and First Article/Process Verification workflows. Maintain a clean, organized, and safe welding area; care for equipment (torches, gas lenses, flowmeters, purge setups) and perform routine preventative maintenance.

Preferred Work Experience:

Prior experience welding in a NADCAP special-process environment (ideal) and working within an

ISO 9001 / AS9100

quality management system. Comfort operating in a precision manufacturing setting with tightly controlled processes, documentation, and inspection requirements. Exposure to manufacturing for highly regulated end markets (e.g., aerospace, nuclear, power generation) is a plus.

Requirements:

3+ years of hands-on TIG welding experience, including thin-gauge stainless and titanium. Strong ability to produce clean, consistent welds in multiple positions with excellent bead profile and minimal discoloration/contamination. Ability to read prints and work to tight tolerances; solid knowledge of joint prep, fit-up, and welding parameters. Willingness to complete a practical weld test (stainless and titanium). Ability to stand for extended periods, lift up to 50 lbs (with assistance as needed), and work with PPE including welding helmet, respirator as required, gloves, and hearing protection.
