TIG Welder

The welder performs high-quality welds and assembles custom stainless-steel weldments using GTAW/TIG processes in a clean, indoor, and air conditioned manufacturing facility. This role requires careful attention to detail, the ability to interpret technical drawings, and a strong commitment to high quality and safety standards.

• Perform TIG welding on stainless steel tubing and components according to designs, drawings, and work instructions.
• Interpret blueprints, weld symbols, GD&T and follow build travelers.
• Conduct fit-up, tack, full welds, and post-weld finishing (buffing, grinding, blending, and passivation when applicable).
• Weld and assemble using vises,
  fixtures
  , and jigs; suggest improvements to enhance repeatability and throughput.
• Use precision measurement tools (calipers, micrometers, steel rules, height gauges) to verify and conform with tolerance requirements.
• Operate shop equipment and basic hand/power tools.
• Perform accurate in-process and final visual inspections and document results in production records.
• Collaborate with quality and engineering inspectors to resolve nonconformance issues; participate in first article builds.
• Maintain a clean, organized work area in accordance with the 5S methodology and lean manufacturing principles.
• Assist with training junior team members and cross-functional tasks.
• Adhere to PPE requirements, shop safety policies, and OSHA regulations
  ; report hazards and nonconformances.
• Support orbital welding setups
  .

• Formal training, apprenticeship, or two+ years of welding experience (or equivalent).
• Proficient with stainless steel TIG welding
  ; able to produce consistent, repeatable, reliable, and clean welds.
• Successful candidate will be required to pass a 2”pipe, Schedule 10, 6G, open butt, TIG test, per ASME B31.3.
• Ability to read blueprints and understand weld symbols
  .
• Basic math and measurement skills; able to complete job routers and quality records.

• Orbital welding experience or willingness to train (Critical Systems, AMI, Swagelok, etc.).
• Experience with purge techniques and weld discoloration standards.
• Familiarity with AWS, ASME, and similar standards.
• Experience in regulated or high-spec environments (semiconductor, aerospace, medical, or biotech).
• Familiarity with lean manufacturing principles, 5S methodology, and continuous improvement concepts.

• Clean, indoor, air-conditioned manufacturing facility.
• Use of PPE: safety glasses, gloves, sleeves, hearing protection, steel-toe footwear.
• Exposure to industrial power equipment and power hand tools (high-voltage/amperage power supplies, hydraulic presses, angle grinders, etc.).
