What is an international welding engineer?

An International Welding Engineer (IWE) is a specialized professional responsible for overseeing welding processes, ensuring quality, and maintaining compliance with international standards. IWEs work in various industries, including construction, shipbuilding, automotive, and aerospace, where they develop welding procedures, supervise teams, and solve technical challenges. They are certified through the International Institute of Welding (IIW) and play a key role in maintaining safety, efficiency, and structural integrity in welded structures.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an international welding engineer?

To thrive as an International Welding Engineer, you need a solid background in welding technology, metallurgy, materials science, and a relevant engineering degree, often supplemented by an International Welding Engineer (IWE) certification. Familiarity with welding standards such as ISO, ASME, and AWS, as well as inspection tools and CAD software, is typically expected. Strong problem-solving abilities, cross-cultural communication skills, and adaptability are vital soft skills for managing diverse projects and global teams. These competencies ensure projects meet strict quality and safety requirements while facilitating effective collaboration across international manufacturing environments.

What are some common challenges faced by international welding engineers working on global projects?

International Welding Engineers often navigate a range of challenges, including adhering to varying welding codes and standards across different countries, coordinating with multidisciplinary teams from diverse cultural backgrounds, and managing project timelines that span multiple time zones. You may also encounter language barriers, supply chain differences, and unique technical requirements depending on the location of your assignments. Adapting quickly to new regulations and collaborating effectively with local engineers and contractors is essential. However, these experiences can enhance your technical expertise and offer valuable opportunities for professional growth in a dynamic, global industry.

Job description

Welding Engineer (All Levels)
Department: Manufacturing
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: Redondo Beach
Compensation: $115,000 - $205,000 / 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.
Additional Note: Leveling will be commensurate with experience.
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
  • 3+ 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

Additional Information:
Compensation bands are determined by role, level, location, and alignment with market data. Individual level and base pay is determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on job-related skills, education, experience, technical capabilities and internal equity.
