Job Description & How to Apply Below
If you thrive in a high performance environment and want to see your work come to life at full throttle, this is your opportunity to join a team that sets the standard in off-road innovation.
What you will be doing:
Welder is responsible for welding metal components and structures in a manufacturing environment. The role involves using various welding techniques to join, fabricate, and repair metal parts.
Responsibilities:
Advanced Welding & Fabrication:
• Execute advanced welding tasks with a focus on high-performance chassis applications, employing TIG, MIG, and precision techniques across chromoly, stainless steel, and exotic alloys.
• Lead the fabrication of race vehicle chassis and structural components, ensuring compliance with motor sport-grade tolerances and specifications.
• Expertly operate and oversee advanced fabrication equipment including CNC plasma tables, precision jigs, tube benders, and welding automation tools.
• Design, build, and refine complex weld fixtures and chassis jigs to enhance repeatability, structural accuracy, and production efficiency.
• Perform critical weld inspections including non-destructive testing (NDT) methods to verify structural integrity and weld compliance under high-stress racing conditions.
Technical Leadership & Team Development:
• Serve as the technical lead for the chassis welding team, setting benchmarks for quality, craftsmanship, and innovation in race vehicle fabrication.
• Mentor and coach welders at all levels, providing hands-on training, real-time feedback, and developmental plans tailored to motorsports fabrication standards.
• Establish SOPs for chassis welding processes and maintain alignment with evolving motor sport regulations and engineering requirements.
• Drive continuous improvement efforts aligned with Lean Manufacturing and 6S principles, instilling a culture of discipline, precision, and safety.
Quality Assurance & Compliance:
• Interpret and validate complex engineering blueprints, 3D CAD files, and GD&T specifications to ensure exact execution of chassis weldments.
• Conduct thorough quality assurance reviews of weld joints, structural assemblies, and component fitment, ensuring all work exceeds professional motor sport standards.
• Troubleshoot fabrication challenges and introduce scalable solutions that balance structural performance with manufacturability.
• Maintain rigorous adherence to internal safety protocols, regulatory requirements, and motor sport certification standards (e.g., SFI, FIA where applicable).
Cross-Functional Collaboration & Innovation:
• Partner with engineering, R&D, and production teams to prototype, test, and refine chassis systems for competitive performance.
• Lead initiatives to streamline chassis fabrication processes, reduce cycle times, and introduce new welding technologies or materials.
• Act as a key contributor in pre-production and post-race analysis to identify design or weld performance improvements.
Requirements:
- This position requires an individual who is experienced in welding stainless-steel products and is familiar with the MIG welding process. A minimum of 5 years is preferred.
- This position requires a basic knowledge of OSHA safety regulations.
- Maintain accurate counts of parts produced daily.
- Maintain a functional work area that is consistent with Five "S" and Lean Manufacturing principles.
- Inspect parts produced to the company's quality standards, and fitment to the fixture.
- Close and general vision.
- Good hand eye coordination.
- This position requires prolonged standing of up to 8 hours at a time.
- This position requires the lifting of 50 lbs. Any lifting over 50 lbs. is to be lifted with the assistance of other individuals.
- This position requires reaching above and below the shoulders.
- Welding helmet.
- PPE (Steel toe shoes, safety glasses, gloves, earplugs, etc.)
Must be able to work on feet all day, climb stairs occasionally, and lift 50 pounds with or without accommodations.
