  • Fundamental understanding of welding processes including, but not limited to laser beam, plasma arc, gas tungsten arc, and gas metal arc 
  • 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
