Job Details

Role Overview

As Process Engineer – Welding & Fabrication, you will design, validate, and optimize production processes for large-scale welded components and assemblies. You will work cross-functionally with design, quality, operations, and project teams to ensure manufacturability, quality, and cost performance. You’ll also support robotic welding, laser welding, and continuous improvement efforts.

Key Responsibilities

Develop, document, and maintain welding and fabrication processes (e.g. MIG, TIG, resistance, laser, robotic) for large assemblies
Program, support, and optimize ABB robotic welding systems (or other robotic platforms)
Create and maintain WPS (Welding Procedure Specifications), PQRs, and weld qualifications in line with AWS, ASME, and ISO standards
Design weld sequences, fixture strategies, and tooling to control distortion, residual stress, and dimensional stability
Troubleshoot and resolve weld defects (porosity, cracking, incomplete fusion, distortion) using root-cause analysis
Collaborate with design engineering to influence geometry, tolerances, and material selection for better weldability and assembly reliability
Provide hands-on support and training on the shop floor as needed
Partner with quality/inspection groups to utilize NDT feedback (ultrasonic, radiographic, dye penetrant, etc.) to close the loop on issues
Lead or support continuous improvement initiatives (Kaizen, Lean, Six Sigma) aimed at improving throughput, yield, and cost
Track, report, and analyze process metrics (cycle time, scrap rate, rework, capacity) and propose improvements
Support cost estimation and technical proposals (e.g. assessing welding/fixture costs, labor hours, and tooling)

Qualifications & Experience
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Welding Engineering, or equivalent
Minimum 1 years of process engineering or welding engineering experience with large welded/fabricated assemblies
Hands-on expertise in multiple welding methods, including robotic and laser welding
Experience programming and supporting ABB robotic systems (or equivalent)
Solid understanding of metallurgical behavior, material weldability, and heat treatments/coatings
Familiarity with CAD, CAM, weld simulation, or process modeling tools
Strong working knowledge of AWS, ASME, ISO 9001 / ISO 9100, or applicable quality and industry standards
Demonstrated capability to work cross-functionally with design, operations, and QA teams
Proven track record in leading process improvements, cost reduction, and quality enhancements
Excellent communication, documentation, and problem-solving skills
