Repair Engineer - Weld

The Weld Repair Engineer is focused specifically on the product weld repair strategy release into TG2. In this role, the engineer generates plans for streamlined weld repairs for aerospace components with a focus on minimizing heat input, cracking, and distortion. Through proactive repair plans, engineers drive reduced rework, improve turnaround time (TAT), and increase overall production throughput in the Weld & Heat Treat Departments.

Additionally, this position provides hands-on technical support to production teams involving weld repair plans and ensure all operations comply with engineering specifications, OEM requirements, quality standards, and environmental regulations. This position interprets complex engineering drawings, repair specifications, and metallurgical requirements to design tooling, fixtures, programming, and optimized parameters that maintain airworthiness and material integrity.

CRT is a customer focused organization that prides itself on being agile and reactive to customer needs. Our Engineering team strives to deliver excellent quality of our products and service to our customer.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Component Repair Technologies, Inc. (CRT) began as a locally family-owned business, with operations in Mentor, OH since 1985, and grew into a global leader (500+ employees) in the aerospace MRO sector. Specializing in the repair and overhaul of turbine engine components, CRT proudly serves the world’s largest airlines and jet engine manufacturers. Component Repair Technologies is focused on our valued employees, customers, and community.

In 2025, CRT became a Safran Aircraft Engines company as a Center of Excellence for the repair of large jet engine parts in the Americas.

For over 120 years, Safran, through its Aircraft Engines subsidiary, designs, produces, markets and supports, alone or in partnership, aircraft engines offering world-class performance and reliability. Its core purpose is to contribute to a safer, more sustainable world, where air transport is more environmentally friendly, comfortable and accessible.

Operating through CFM International, its 50/50 joint venture with GE Aerospace, Safran Aircraft Engines is the world’s leading supplier of single-aisle commercial jet engines, the CFM
56 and LEAP. Safran Aircraft Engines is fully committed to sustainable aviation through the RISE (Revolutionary Innovation for Sustainable Engines) technology development program. Safran Aircraft Engines also deploys a global network providing a full range of support, maintenance & repair services.

• Improve Quality Rating of the weld department by developing the production release strategy on specified components before release into TG2. A production release strategy includes establishing weld limitations using ESM criteria and repair experience, reviewing available or required tooling, modifications of work instructions, and collaborating with other engineers and department managers.
• Drive continuous improvement by finding successful approaches to challenging weld repairs and implementing those as regular shop practices.
• Use root-cause analysis protocols to resolve department errors and operational issues.
• Collaborate with weld technicians, weld shop leadership, and weld process engineers to design improved weld procedures and/or specific weld procedures for custom welding applications.
• Control process parameters to maximize production repeatability and quality control accuracy.
• Generate technical work instructions and comprehensive process documentation for complex weld repairs, including operation sheets and setup guides.
• Analyze Results
• Collaborate with production leadership, operators and technicians on the initial weld plan, and monitor the results of those repair plans as they…
