Manual Welder

• Perform TIG welding on metal components and precision parts, producing clean, consistent welds according to engineering drawings, specifications, and production requirements
• Set up and operate TIG welding equipment, selecting appropriate amperage, tungsten, filler material, shielding gas, and welding techniques based on material type, thickness, and joint configuration
• Read and interpret blueprints, engineering drawings, weld symbols, dimensions, and tolerances to determine proper welding sequence, fit-up, and finished-part requirements
• Prepare metal components for welding by measuring, cutting, grinding, deburring, cleaning, and positioning parts to ensure proper fit and weld quality
• Fit and align components using fixtures, clamps, jigs, and work holding devices to maintain accurate positioning throughout the welding process
• Weld a variety of metal components and assemblies while maintaining proper penetration, bead appearance, dimensional accuracy, and overall weld integrity
• Monitor welding conditions and adjust machine settings, torch positioning, travel speed, and filler material as needed to maintain consistent weld quality
• Perform visual and dimensional inspections of completed welds and parts to identify defects, distortion, incomplete welds, or dimensional discrepancies
• Use precision measuring tools such as calipers, micrometers, gauges, and other measuring equipment to verify components meet required specifications
• Grind, clean, blend, and finish welded components as required for final inspection or subsequent manufacturing operations
• Troubleshoot welding, fit-up, tooling, and equipment issues and make adjustments to improve weld quality and production efficiency
• Maintain welding equipment, fixtures, tools, and work areas while following established safety, quality, housekeeping, and production standards

• 2 years of manual welding experience in a manufacturing, fabrication, or metalworking environment.
• 2 years of TIG welding experience with metal components and precision parts.
• 1 year of experience reading and interpreting blueprints, engineering drawings, weld symbols, and GD&T/tolerances.
• 1 year of experience setting up and operating TIG welding equipment, including selecting tungsten, filler material, shielding gas, and machine settings.
• 1 year of experience performing weld inspection using calipers, micrometers, gauges, and other precision measuring tools.
• 1 year of experience with metal preparation, fit-up, grinding, deburring, cleaning, and finishing.
• 1 year of experience using fixtures, clamps, jigs, and work holding equipment to accurately position components.
