Responsibilities
Lead a team of engineers, technicians, and specialists in developing and implementing advanced welding and brazing processes
Participate in and lead Design for Manufacturing (DFM) workshops focused on joining methods, collaborating closely with design, R&D, and product engineers to optimize designs for weld/braze feasibility, material compatibility, reduced distortion, and enhanced thermal performance/sustainability
Define and specify welding/brazing processes (e.g., TIG, MIG, orbital welding, torch brazing with filler metals), equipment (e.g., robotic systems, automated torches, induction brazing), tooling, fixtures, and parameters for new product introductions (NPI) and ongoing production
Design and optimize workstation layouts, workflow, and material handling for safe, efficient, and lean welding/brazing operations, supporting high-precision, leak-free assembly
Ensure superior quality and reliability by developing PFMEAs, control plans, weld/braze procedure specifications (WPS/BPS), visual/NDT inspection protocols, and capability studies (e.g., leak testing, pressure testing); maintain compliance with industry standards (e.g., ASME, AWS) for mission-critical applications
Evaluate, select, and integrate advanced technologies, including robotic welding/brazing arms, automated vision inspection, Industry 4.0 monitoring (real-time data tracking), and sustainable practices (e.g., reduced filler use, energy-efficient equipment) to boost precision, throughput, and environmental impact
Lead process validation, equipment commissioning, operator training, and smooth handover of welding/brazing projects to production teams, including root cause analysis for defects and continuous improvement
Foster a culture of innovation, collaboration, safety (e.g., fume extraction, PPE), continuous improvement (lean/Kaizen), and sustainability within the welding/brazing and broader manufacturing engineering teams
Lead and mentor other manufacturing engineers in welding and brazing processes
Qualification
Required
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Welding Engineering, Materials Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field
