TIG Welder

The Manufacturing Welder is responsible for weld preparation, welding and weld finishing operations to manufacture products according to drawings, specifications and other forms of instruction.

Roles and Responsibilities

• Builds welding programs (Orbital & Manual) with little to no engineering oversight.
• Reviews engineering drawings and specifications to plan welding operations where procedural information is unavailable.
• Assemble and install parts on products per production instructions, procedures and drawings, and execute tasks including but not limited to bending tubes to meet proper interface, prepping the end of the product for termination needs taking proper care not to damage product components such as electrical cables, torque/tension fasteners as required, mixing potting material, etc.
• Properly record traceability information during the work activities
• Creates templates and other work aids to hold and align parts.
• Determines type of welding to be used, such as metallic arc, inert gas, electrode, and oven treatment, applying knowledge of metals to be joined, contours and angles to be formed, and specified stress tolerances.
• Inspects grooves, angles, gap allowances, and related aspects of assembly to ensure conformance to specifications, using micrometer, caliper, and related precision measuring instruments.
• Understands how changes to the preparation of the tube/material will change the inputs required for welding.
• Performs work and troubleshooting requiring knowledge of the welding properties of various types of metals, welding rods, welding heats, stress relief, allowances for fit-up and machining, and the effect of shrinkage, warpage and expansion
• Achieve, maintain, and actively perform certified orbital and certified manual (hand) OSS welding procedures inspected according to the relevant quality program (typically ultrasonic and/or radiographic, die penetrant and bend testing).
• Performs assembly of medium complexity components - umbilical terminations and distribution equipment.
• Actively participate on and strictly follow standards of the Lean Manufacturing Program & Health, Safety, Security, and Environment programs.
• Other duties as assigned

Qualification & Experience

• High school Diploma or GED.
• At least 2-3 years of relevant experience.
• Associate Degree in welding (or equivalent).
