How much do welding engineering jobs pay per hour?

As of Jul 14, 2026, the average hourly pay for welding engineering in the United States is $41.61, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $34.38 and $47.36 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

How does a Welding Engineer typically collaborate with other departments during a project?

Welding Engineers often work closely with design, manufacturing, and quality assurance teams to ensure that welding processes meet both technical specifications and safety standards. They may participate in project meetings, review blueprints with designers to assess weldability, and coordinate with production supervisors to address real-time challenges on the shop floor. Additionally, they frequently liaise with quality inspectors to troubleshoot defects and ensure compliance with industry codes. This collaborative environment fosters strong communication skills and provides opportunities to influence various stages of product development.

What is welding engineering?

Welding engineering is a specialized field of engineering that focuses on the design, development, and application of welding processes to join materials, typically metals and alloys. Welding engineers are responsible for selecting appropriate welding methods, developing procedures, overseeing quality control, and ensuring that welded structures meet safety and performance standards. They work in industries such as manufacturing, construction, automotive, and aerospace, where the integrity of welds is critical to the product's safety and functionality.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Welding Engineer, and why are they important?

To excel as a Welding Engineer, you need a solid background in materials science, metallurgy, welding processes, and typically a degree in welding engineering or a related field. Familiarity with CAD software, inspection tools, non-destructive testing methods, and certifications like Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) are highly valuable. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help you collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and ensure quality standards are met. These competencies are essential for designing safe, efficient welding solutions and maintaining high production standards in manufacturing or construction environments.

What is the difference between Welding Engineering vs Welding Technology?

AspectWelding EngineeringWelding Technology
CredentialsBachelor's or Master's in Welding Engineering or related field, certifications like AWS Certified Welding EngineerAssociate's or Bachelor's in Welding Technology, certifications like AWS Certified Welding Inspector
Work EnvironmentDesigning welding processes, quality control, research and developmentPerforming welding operations, inspecting welds, assisting in production
Industry UsageEngineering firms, manufacturing, aerospace, constructionManufacturing plants, fabrication shops, construction sites

Welding Engineering focuses on designing and optimizing welding processes, ensuring quality, and applying engineering principles. Welding Technology emphasizes hands-on welding, inspection, and supporting production. Both roles are essential in the industry but differ mainly in scope and responsibilities.

Job description

Department: Engineering
Employment Type: Full-Time, Salary (Exempt)
About Beverlin
Beverlin is a trusted manufacturer known for producing high-quality perforated metal tubes, fabricated components, and custom metal solutions for customers across multiple industries. Our reputation is built on craftsmanship, continuous improvement, and a commitment to doing the right thing for our customers, suppliers, and team members.
We foster a supportive, people-centered culture where employees are respected, encouraged to grow, and given opportunities to build meaningful careers. At Beverlin, you're not just operating equipment; you're contributing to a team that takes pride in its work, collaborates to overcome challenges, and celebrates shared success.
Position Overview
We're seeking a hands-on Weld Engineering & Technical Leader to own all welding processes for new and existing products. This role serves as Beverlin's subject matter expert in welding technology, aluminum fabrication, process optimization, and welder development.
You will lead weld process strategy, develop and maintain WPS/PQR documentation, design weld fixtures, support new product launches, and mentor welders-including direct coaching for the Weld Production Trainer.
This job is designed for a technical, sleeves-rolled-up leader who moves comfortably between engineering analysis, fixture design, and producing master welds.
Primary Responsibilities
Technical Leadership
  • Own welding processes across new and existing production.
  • Develop, qualify, and maintain WPS and PQR documentation.
  • Evaluate and implement new welding technologies, methods, and best practices.
  • Establish standards for aluminum welding, repeatability, and distortion control.

Process & Quality Improvement
  • Improve weld rate, repeatability, throughput, and first-pass yield.
  • Reduce weld scrap and rework through structured problem solving.
  • Lead root cause analysis and corrective action for weld-related issues.
  • Develop and track weld performance metrics (scrap %, arc time, cycle time, FPY).

Welding Expertise
  • Advanced hands-on skill in:
    • GTAW (TIG) required
    • RSW (Resistance Spot Welding) required
    • Aluminum: 5052 & 3003 alloys required
  • Ability to control distortion in thin/medium gauge materials (.024"-.125").
  • Laser welding experience preferred.

Tooling & Fixture Design
  • Design and fabricate weld jigs and fixtures focused on:
    • Heat distortion control
    • Repeatability
    • Ergonomics
    • Cycle time improvement
  • Create and modify tooling drawings and internal manufacturing prints (CAD required, Inventor/Fusion preferred).

Engineering & Launch Support
  • Support Sales and Engineering during quoting and new product launches.
  • Define weld methods, tooling, and cycle times for RFQs and production readiness.
  • Create/update routings and BOMs in the Beverlin system.
  • Establish incoming inspection criteria and modify component/assembly drawings as required.

Leadership & Mentorship
  • Serve as a technical mentor to all welders.
  • Provide direct coaching to the Weld Production Trainer.
  • Elevate team skills in weld theory, technique, and troubleshooting.
  • Promote a culture of craftsmanship, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Work Schedule
  • Full-time, 5-day onsite role
  • Core hours: 7:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
  • Additional hours as needed to support production, launches, or issue resolution.

What You Bring
Required
  • 5+ years of weld leadership experience.
  • Bachelor's in Welding Engineering (preferred) or equivalent experience.
  • Hands-on expertise in GTAW, RSW, and aluminum welding (5052 & 3003)
  • Strong GD&T, blueprint interpretation, and CAD proficiency (Inventor/Fusion).
  • Demonstrated ability to design and fabricate fixtures and jigs.
  • Data-driven problem-solving mindset.
  • Ability to communicate effectively across all levels.

Preferred/Value-Added
  • AWS Certifications (CW, CWS, CWE)
  • Experience with laser welding or programming.
  • Familiarity with roll forming.
  • Experience in high-mix, low-volume manufacturing.

  • Retirement savings plan
  • Professional growth and career development opportunities
  • Supportive, inclusive, and team-focused workplace culture
