TIG Welder

Job Title : TIG Welder
Location: El Segundo CA
Employment Type: Full-time / Contract / Contract-to-Hire

NOTE: Client is seeking for the candidates with aerospace defense nuclear energy and aviation inustry background

About the Role

Were hiring a precision welder to support the build of next-generation portable nuclear microreactors. This is not production-line work-this is high-integrity fabrication where weld quality directly impacts system performance and safety. Youll work on complex assemblies that demand tight tolerances repeatability and zero-defect execution across aerospace-grade materials.

What Youll Do

• Perform TIG welding on stainless steel aluminum Inconel and other high-performance alloys
• Execute welds in accordance with AWS D17.1 and internal nuclear/aerospace standards
• Fabricate and weld thin-wall tubing pressure vessels and structural components
• Interpret engineering drawings weld symbols and GD&T requirements
• Set up welding equipment tooling and fixtures for precision work
• Perform in-process inspections and support NDT (dye penetrant X-ray etc.)
• Maintain full traceability and documentation for all welds and materials
• Partner with engineering and quality to troubleshoot and improve weld processes

What You Bring

• 3 5 years of TIG welding experience in aerospace defense nuclear or high-spec manufacturing
• Proven experience with thin-wall and high-precision welds
• Strong ability to read blueprints and weld callouts
• Familiarity with AWS D17.1 AS9100 or equivalent quality systems
• Ability to pass weld certification tests
• Detail-obsessed mindset-your work holds up under inspection

Nice to Have

• Experience with exotic alloys (Inconel Hastelloy titanium)
• Background in pressure systems vacuum systems or high-temperature applications
• Prior exposure to nuclear or energy systems
• Cleanroom or controlled-environment welding experience
