Are you the type of person who excels in supporting advanced manufacturing processes related to welding? Do you love driving welding-related improvement projects? In this role, you will support all aspects of weld engineering from initial product design through manufacturing and even field service. We're seeking a subject matter expert in welding processes, welding robotics, weldment design, metallurgy, weld failure analysis, and non-destructive testing.
Duties: Including but not limited to:
• Work with product design engineering teams on new and existing products to optimize weldment design. This will include, but is not limited to: weld joint design, design for automation, fatigue life analysis, design for manufacturability, weld distortion analysis, and welding-related failure analysis.
• Identify, test, and recommend manufacturing materials and processes that are new to the company (not limited to welding).
• Work with production to reduce waste and improve quality and productivity in welding through optimizing cell layout, implementing lean principles, maximizing equipment utilization, and justifying automation. Identify areas of improved efficiency with right-sized automation and act as a resource on proper utilization of automation.
• Develop and maintain welding standards, procedures, design guidelines, and welding-related standard work.
• Ensure compliance with OSHA requirements on welding Fume control.
• Perform and interpret results of various non-destructive testing (NDT) methods.
Qualifications:
• 4-year college degree in Welding, Materials Joining, Manufacturing, or Metallurgical Engineering with a minimum of 2 years related experience.
• Or other 2 or 4-year college degree with a minimum of 7 years related experience.
• Certified Welding Inspector, Certified Welding Supervisor, and Certified Welding Engineer with the American Welding Society and/or equivalent preferred.
• Knowledge in the areas of welding processes (i.e. GMAW, FCAW, SAW, and SMAW), welding consumables, weld robotics, welding metallurgy, weld distortion, weld fatigue, and failure analysis.
• Knowledge of robotic programming, CAD, technical drawing, and schematic reading.
• Skill in writing and interpreting welding standards, applying quality acceptance criteria, implementing a weld quality program, and training others on these topics.
• Skill in root cause analysis in welded product design and manufacturing.
Travel:
• Occasional travel is expected of this position.
