Who We Are Looking For
We're looking for a seasoned manufacturing and welding engineer who can bridge the gap between design intent and shop floor reality. You bring deep hands-on experience with welded assemblies and fabrication processes, coupled with the technical knowledge to optimize how things are made. You're equally comfortable interpreting complex engineering drawings, solving production issues, and collaborating with design teams to improve manufacturability.
This role serves as a welding domain expert for Re:Build Optimation and the broader Re:Build Manufacturing network—helping project teams navigate code requirements, select welding processes, design tooling, and build scalable production methods. You thrive on variety: qualifying weld procedures, leading design-for-manufacturability reviews, and setting up automated welding work cells.
What You Get To Do
- Design and improve manufacturing processes, developing efficient methods that reduce cost, waste, and cycle time using lean and Six Sigma principles
- Lead Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Manufacturing for Design (MFD) initiatives to improve producibility and part quality
- Develop, optimize, and qualify weld processes across multiple methods including electron beam, laser beam, GTAW, orbital tube, GMAW, and SMAW
- Serve as welding domain expert, providing guidance on code requirements, welding techniques, and destructive/non-destructive testing
