Our innovative solutions deliver greater safety, punctuality, reliability, and sustainability across the line, all while reducing costs for mass transit and freight transportation systems. We are continuously developing new answers for rail automation - often to questions that haven't been asked yet.

Position overview:

We are seeking a Welding Coordinator to take ownership of weld planning and execution across complex rolling stock systems-including locomotives, light rail vehicles, passenger coaches, and bogies.

This is a high-impact, hands-on role where you'll bridge engineering, manufacturing, and quality to ensure safe, efficient, and compliant weld processes in a safety-critical environment.

This is a first shift position.

What your day may look like:

* As the Welding Coordinator, you'll serve as the technical authority for welding processes, with the autonomy to make independent decisions to ensure quality and compliance.

* Own all aspects of weld planning and execution for rail vehicle manufacturing

* Develop and standardize Weld Plans, WPS, and PQR documentation

* Ensure compliance with EN 15085 and AWS D1.1, D1.2, D1.3, and D1.6 standards

* Translate engineering drawings, models, and specifications into optimized production weld strategies

* Design and support implementation of weld cells, jigs, and fixtures

* Drive continuous improvement of manual, semi-automated, and automated weld processes

* Lead welder qualification activities and oversee inspection planning

* Support supplier quality initiatives, including audits and first article inspections

* Partner with engineering, operations, and leadership to deliver projects under complex conditions

* Contribute to bids and proposals by reviewing welding requirements and feasibility

What will make you successful:

* Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Welding Engineering, or related field

* AWS Certified Weld Inspector (CWI)

* Deep understanding of welding prep

* 3+ years of experience in complex, safety-critical weld environments (rail, aviation, naval, automotive, or heavy equipment industries preferred).

* Proven hands-on problem-solving experience with implementation of corrective actions

* Demonstrated success in driving projects under challenging conditions

* Strong project management skills (planning, scheduling, budgeting, ROI analysis)

* Ability to effectively collaborate from the shop floor to the boardroom

* Excellent written and verbal communication skills

What would make you stand out:

* ASQ Certified Quality Engineer or Six Sigma / Lean certifications

* International Welding Engineer (IWE) or Technologist (IWT) certification

* Advanced degree (MS) in Industrial, Manufacturing, or Mechanical Engineering

* Bilingual (German/English or Spanish/English)
