Welding Engineer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Welding Engineer
The Opportunity:
Develop welding techniques, procedures, and application of welding experiments to resolve metal fabrication challenges. Conduct research and development to test new fabrication processes, improve, or develop new welding equipment, and evaluate emerging technologies such as metallic additive manufacturing and solid-state processes. Validate mechanical testing, metallurgical assessments, and interpret Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) results. Participate in and monitor testing, models, and simulation efforts, develop test plans, and analyze test results to determine system performance and recommend corrective actions. Establish welding procedures to aid in specification restrictions, advanced material processing, and pre- and post-heating requirements for complex alloys and critical joints. Ensure compliance with established welding procedures and standards and oversee weld testing for conformance with national and military code requirements. Lead and coordinate multi-disciplinary project teams in the execution of advanced welding, materials joining, and research and development activities. Develop technical reports based on research and development efforts and failure analysis investigations and oversee schedules and milestones to ensure engineering solutions and deliverables align with mission objectives.
