What is the difference between In Welding vs Pipe Welder?

AspectIn WeldingPipe Welder
CertificationsWelding certifications (e.g., AWS, CWI)Welding certifications + specialized pipe welding certifications
Work EnvironmentFactories, construction sites, manufacturing plantsRefineries, pipelines, offshore platforms
Industry UsageBroadly used across manufacturing and constructionPrimarily in oil & gas, utilities, and pipeline industries
Job FocusGeneral welding tasksWelding of pipes and pipe systems

In Welding is a broad role involving various welding tasks across multiple industries, while Pipe Welders specialize in welding pipes, often requiring additional certifications and working in specific environments like pipelines and refineries. Both roles share similar certifications but differ in focus and work settings.

Job description

Welding Engineer (New Grad)
Department: Manufacturing
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: Redondo Beach
Compensation: $100,000 - $135,000 / year
Description
As a Weld Engineer at Impulse you will help develop, qualify and optimize welding designs and processes with both laser beam, gas tungsten arc welding, friction stir welding, and orbital tube welding. This role will integral to performing weld developments on Helios' main structural tank, Deneb's thrust chamber and preburner assemblies, and valve components across all of our vehicles. The welding engineer in this role will interface daily with design and manufacturing engineers to make welding judgment calls and improvements and will enforce standardized practices and procedures on multiple welded assemblies.
Helios is Impulse's new vehicle, a 3rd stage/kick stage. Launching in 2026, it is designed to take satellites & payloads to GEO for 1/3rd of today's current cost. Deneb is Impulse's 15k lb thrust lox methane staged combustion engine.
Responsibilities
  • Develop, optimize, and qualify weld processes and parameters for multiple welding processes including but not limited to: laser beam welding, friction stir welding, gas tungsten arc welding, orbital tube welding.
  • Work closely with design, tooling, automation, and development engineers to improve welded designs for manufacturing
  • Develop and implement improved process control where possible using test and NDE results as feedback loop
  • Support production operations on full scale welded assemblies, providing direction to manufacturing engineers and welders on correct techniques in a fast paced manufacturing environment
  • Support on-site manufacturing and development of Helios tank, Deneb engine weldments, and Mira components.
  • Set up welding qualification test campaigns and interpret mechanical testing and NDE results
  • Work closely with NDE personnel to interpret weld quality on development and flight hardware in addition to developing and implementing innovative state-of-the-art NDE techniques
  • Set up automated welding solutions in an effort to drive process consistency
  • Scope out new welding technologies that may be employed to improve rate/quality/efficiency
  • Support design, manufacturing, and materials engineering with root cause analysis

Minimum Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline or related field
  • 2+ years of experience with hands-on fabrication, manufacturing, or testing experience of welded assemblies

Preferred Skills and Experience
  • Master's degree in welding engineering or related technical program
  • 2+ years' of demonstrated hands-on welding experience of aluminum, nickel-based, stainless steel, titanium, and copper alloys.
  • 2+ years' of demonstrated experience with brazing, joining, and metallographic interpretation
  • Fundamental understanding of welding processes including, but not limited to, laser beam, friction stir, gas tungsten arc, gas metal arc, electron beam, plasma arc, and resistance welding
  • Robot programming experience for automated welding solutions
  • 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, driven and high attention to detail
