Amanda Preston

Salary: $85,000 – $110,000 per year

We are a growing fabrication and manufacturing organization specializing in large, welded assemblies across multiple industries. We thrive on innovation, continuous improvement, and engineering rigor. We are seeking a proactive Process Engineer to lead and refine our welding and fabrication operations.

• Competitive compensation (commensurate with experience)
• Comprehensive benefits package
• Opportunity to lead advanced welding and fabrication projects
• Collaborative, engineering-forward culture
• Career growth and professional development

As Process Engineer – Welding & Fabrication, you will design, validate, and optimize production processes for large‑scale welded components and assemblies. You will work cross‑functionally with design, quality, operations, and project teams to ensure manufacturability, quality, and cost performance. You’ll also support robotic welding, laser welding, and continuous improvement efforts.

• Develop, document, and maintain welding and fabrication processes (e.g. MIG, TIG, resistance, laser, robotic) for large assemblies
• Program, support, and optimize ABB robotic welding systems (or other robotic platforms)
• Create and maintain WPS (Welding Procedure Specifications), PQRs, and weld qualifications in line with AWS, ASME, and ISO standards
• Design weld sequences, fixture strategies, and tooling to control distortion, residual stress, and dimensional stability
• Troubleshoot and resolve weld defects (porosity, cracking, incomplete fusion, distortion) using root‑cause analysis
• Collaborate with design engineering to influence geometry, tolerances, and material selection for better weldability and assembly reliability
• Provide hands‑on support and training on the shop floor as needed
• Partner with quality/inspection groups to utilize NDT feedback (ultrasonic, radiographic, dye penetrant, etc.) to close the loop on issues
• Lead or support continuous improvement initiatives (Kaizen, Lean, Six Sigma) aimed at improving throughput, yield, and cost
• Track, report, and analyze process metrics (cycle time, scrap rate, rework, capacity) and propose improvements
• Support cost estimation and technical proposals (e.g. assessing welding/fixture costs, labor hours, and tooling)

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Welding Engineering, or equivalent
• Minimum 5 years of process engineering in welding manufacturing large assembly environment
• Hands‑on expertise in multiple welding methods, including robotic and laser welding
• Experience programming and supporting ABB robotic systems (or equivalent)
• Solid understanding of metallurgical behavior, material weldability, and heat treatments/coatings
• Familiarity with CAD, CAM, weld simulation, or process modeling tools
• Strong working knowledge of AWS, ASME, ISO 9001 / ISO 9100, or applicable quality and industry standards
• Demonstrated capability to work cross‑functionally with design, operations, and QA teams
• Proven track record in leading process improvements, cost reduction, and quality enhancements
• Excellent communication, documentation, and problem‑solving skills
