Job Description

As a Welding Manufacturing Engineer, you will play a critical role in enabling rapid development, fabrication, and integration of advanced hardware across our R&D and prototype manufacturing environments. You’ll be responsible for developing weld processes, fixtures, and joint designs that bridge early design concepts to flight-ready hardware. This position is hands-on and deeply cross-functional, working directly with design, manufacturing, and test teams to bring complex systems from concept to reality.

Job Responsibility

  • Develop, qualify, and optimize weld processes and parameters for multiple techniques including, but not limited to, electron beam, laser beam, gas tungsten arc, gas metal arc, plasma arc, resistance, friction-stir, and orbital tube welding
  • Support R&D and production builds of welded aircraft structures, tanks, and propulsion assemblies, providing direct guidance to technicians and manufacturing engineers
  • Collaborate with design and manufacturing engineering to drive weld joint design, fixture development, and assembly methods optimized for manufacturability, precision, and repeatability
  • Lead root cause investigations related to weld performance, material compatibility, and process deviations
  • implement corrective actions based on metallurgical and mechanical findings
  • Plan and execute weld qualification campaigns, including mechanical testing, NDE inspection, and data interpretation
  • Partner with NDE specialists to evaluate weld quality and develop advanced inspection techniques tailored for high-performance aircraft applications
  • Implement process control improvements using feedback from weld tests, NDE, and production data to increase reliability and consistency
  • Identify and integrate automated or robotic welding solutions to improve throughput, consistency, and quality
  • Research and evaluate emerging welding technologies and materials for potential application in hypersonic vehicle manufacturing
  • Collaborate closely with tooling, automation, and integration teams to develop solutions that minimize distortion, improve accuracy, and accelerate production timelines

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or other related technical discipline
  • Hands-on fabrication, manufacturing, or testing experience with welded aerospace assemblies
  • Strong understanding of weld design principles and mechanical tolerances under thermal and structural loads
  • Must be willing to work extended hours and weekends as needed to support build schedules and testing operations
  • Occasional travel may be required to support suppliers or test campaigns
  • Ability to perform hands-on work in fabrication and prototype build environments, including climbing, lifting, and working in confined areas as required
  • Desire to be part of a high-intensity, mission-focused team driving innovation in hypersonic aircraft development

Nice to have

  • Master’s degree in Welding Engineering or related technical field
  • Hands-on welding experience with nickel-based alloys, stainless steel, titanium, copper, and aluminum
  • Experience with brazing, joining, and metallographic interpretation
  • Deep understanding of welding processes including, but not limited to, electron beam, laser beam, plasma arc, resistance, friction-stir, gas tungsten arc, and gas metal arc
  • Robot programming experience for automated welding applications
  • Tooling design experience for welded assemblies to minimize distortion and improve repeatability
  • Knowledge of weld strength testing methodologies, standards, and data acquisition systems (ASTM E8, E399, E740, ISO 15653, AWS D17.X, AWS C7.X, thermocouples, strain gages, etc.)
  • Experience performing root cause analysis and corrective actions using techniques such as optical and SEM fractography, hardness testing, chemical analysis, and mechanical testing
  • Demonstrated success applying Design for Manufacturability (DFM) principles to transition welded designs from prototype to production
  • Strong ability to multi-task, prioritize, and communicate results across engineering, manufacturing, and leadership teams
  • Highly detail-oriented with excellent documentation and organizational skills
  • Proven track record of success in fast-paced, high-growth, technically demanding environments

What we offer

  • Unlimited PTO policy
  • Paid parental leave
  • Potential for year-end bonuses
  • 100% employer-paid health care
  • 401k & Retirement Plans
  • Weekly Paid Office Lunches
