• Technical Proficiency: Foundational knowledge of TIG welding and basic metallurgy (how heat affects metal properties).
• Attention to Detail: An unwavering eye for detail is required, as minor imperfections can jeopardize safety and efficiency.
• Must be fluent in English, with strong speaking, reading, writing, and comprehension skills.
• US work authorization is a precondition of employment. The company will not consider candidates who require sponsorship for a work-authorized visa.

Responsibilities

• Precision Component Repair: Assist in restoring structural integrity to damaged or worn parts such as rotating parts, stationary parts, combustors, etc.
• Specialized Welding Processes: Gain supervised experience using TIG (GTAW) welding on high-strength alloys like titanium, inconel, and stainless steel.
• Damage Assessment & Inspection: Learn to identify abnormalities such as cracks, corrosion, or bulges through visual checks and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods like dye penetrant or ultrasonic testing.
• Surface & Material Preparation: Clean weld joints, remove slag, and perform precision grinding and polishing to meet strict aerodynamic and structural tolerances.
• Blueprint & Manual Interpretation: Interpret complex engineering drawings, welding symbols, and maintenance manuals to ensure every repair follows FAA or NASA standards.
