Precision TIG/MIG Fabrication Specialist (MIL-Standard)Your day, your impact

You arrive to a clean, organized cell and review the day’s build-to-print assemblies that support U.S. and allied defense programs. You set up GTAW, GMAW, and FCAW operations, dialing in gas flow, current, voltage, and wire feed to achieve MIL-Standard quality. Between passes, you verify weld dimensions with gauges, adjust parameters on the fly, and document results in production logs. A teammate asks for a second set of eyes—your coaching helps them lock in their setup. Before the shift ends, you leave the area spotless and safe, ready for the next critical component.
