As an Applications Specialist, you'll help manufacturers learn how to successfully use handheld laser welding in real production environments.


Your responsibilities will include:

  • Travel to customer locations to deliver hands-on training (approximately 50% travel)
  • Teach operators how to safely set up and use handheld laser welding equipment
  • Demonstrate proper welding techniques on a variety of materials and joint types
  • Help customers dial in welding parameters for their applications
  • Troubleshoot welding and equipment issues
  • Assist companies with implementing handheld laser welding into production
  • Support product demonstrations, workshops, and industry events
  • Help improve HLI training materials and curriculum
  • Work with the team to test new applications and processes
  • Maintain training equipment and keep the lab organized and ready for classes

    • What We're Looking For:

    Ideal candidates may have experience as a:

    • Welder
    • Fabricator
    • Welding Technician
    • Manufacturing Technician
    • Applications Specialist
    • Field Service Technician
    • Welding Instructor
    • Shop Lead or Supervisor


    You should have:

    • Several years of hands-on welding or fabrication experience
    • Experience with TIG, MIG, or other production welding processes
    • Mechanical aptitude and strong troubleshooting skills
    • Confidence speaking in front of small groups and teaching others
    • A positive attitude and willingness to learn handheld laser welding technology
    • A valid driver's license and the ability to travel frequently (up to 50%)


    Bonus Qualifications

    These are helpful but not required:

    • Experience with handheld laser welding
    • AWS certifications
    • Previous training or teaching experience
    • Experience supporting customers or working in field service
    • Familiarity with manufacturing environments such as aerospace, automotive, or general fabrication


    What Makes Someone Successful

    The best person for this role:

    • Enjoys helping others learn
    • Communicates clearly with customers and coworkers
    • Can relate to welders, supervisors, and engineers alike
    • Solves problems calmly and practically
    • Is comfortable working both in the shop and in front of a classroom
    • Likes traveling and meeting new people
    • Wants to be part of the future of welding technology


    Why Join HLI?

    You'll work with some of the newest manufacturing technology in the welding industry while helping shape the future workforce.
