Weld Engineer

Mach Industries is seeking a Weld Engineer to join our team in developing, qualifying, and scaling welding processes for next-generation defense platforms. In this hands-on role, you’ll help turn designs into reliable, manufacturable hardware, from early prototypes through production. As a Weld Engineer, you will play a key role in developing welded assemblies, refining processes, and optimizing designs for quality and production at scale. Collaborating with a multidisciplinary team, you’ll help bring the next wave of defense technologies from concept to deployment.

• ◆Develop, test, qualify, and implement welding processes and procedures from prototype builds through production.
• ◆Partner with design and manufacturing engineers to develop weld joints and assemblies that meet performance and manufacturing requirements.
• ◆Select welding processes, equipment, consumables, and parameters based on materials, design, and production needs.
• ◆Work with production teams to troubleshoot weld defects, distortion, fit-up challenges, and process variation.
• ◆Support weld qualification through mechanical testing, metallurgical evaluation, and review of inspection results.
• ◆Establish weld quality

and coordinate with Quality on inspection and nondestructive examination.

• ✓Develop and maintain welding procedures, work instructions, qualification records, and technical documentation.
• ✓Identify opportunities to improve weld quality, throughput, cost, and production scalability.
• ✓Support new product development, manufacturing planning, and production-readiness activities.
• ✓Support critical project milestones, including extended hours or weekend work as needed.

• ✓2+ years of experience in welding engineering, welding process development, or welding and fabrication in a manufacturing environment.
