Orbital Welder 1st Shift

MDC Precision, LLC•Pflugerville, TX

11d•$25 - $27

About The Position

MDC is hiring an Orbital Welder to weld and fabricate custom chambers and components using customer-supplied drawings and blueprints. The role requires meeting close dimensional and angular tolerances, producing vacuum-tight welds (including in hard-to-reach chamber areas), and collaborating with machinists during each phase of manufacturing. The work primarily involves stainless steel and requires familiarity with metallurgy, weld settings, filler rod selection, and GD&T. The employee may provide leadership to lower-level welders and must meet project schedules.

Requirements

Associate degree or certification from a welding training program.
At least 7–10 years of related experience and/or training, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
Ability to read and interpret safety rules, operating and maintenance instructions, procedure manuals, and blueprints.
Ability to write routine reports and correspondence and communicate effectively before groups of customers or employees.
Ability to solve practical problems and interpret written, oral, diagrammatic, or schedule-based instructions.
Ability to apply probability, statistical inference, geometry, trigonometry, fractions, percentages, ratios, and proportions to practical situations.
Ability to work with team members and take direction from a supervisor; may provide leadership to lower-level welders.
Attention to detail on blueprints and ability to follow work rules.
Familiarity with metallurgy, primarily stainless steel.
Knowledge of appropriate weld settings for various materials and filler rod selection.
Solid knowledge of GD&T.
Ability to produce vacuum-tight welds in hard-to-reach areas of chambers.
Ability to meet or exceed specified angular tolerances, focal lengths, and target points.

Responsibilities

Perform orbital welding of tubing and components.
Set up and calibrate the power supply using the correct welding program.
Set up gas-mixing equipment.
Create and log weld coupons.
Manually fabricate components through port alignment, scribing, cutting or copying, tacking, tuning, and welding while maintaining specified angular, focal-length, and target-point tolerances.
Collaborate closely with machinists throughout each phase of a project.
Identify the proper order of operations, including the main datum point and sequence of hole penetration.
Locate ports in relation to target points, angles, and focal lengths.
Set up and use target-point fixtures.
Meet or exceed project requirements and job schedules.
Perform other duties as assigned.
