WE’RE HIRING: WELD PROCESS ENGINEER
Manitowoc, Wisconsin
⚓ Marine / Shipbuilding Industry
Looking for a Weld Process Engineer who wants to work on complex, one-of-a-kind vessel construction—not high-volume production.
This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who can solve welding challenges from the big-picture perspective —understanding how welding impacts structural integrity, quality, dimensional control, production flow, rework, cost, and the overall vessel build.
What You’ll Do:
• Serve as a technical expert for aluminum and steel welding processes
• Lead root cause analysis and corrective actions for cracking, distortion, porosity, inspection failures, and excessive rework
• Develop and improve Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS)
• Improve weld sequencing, fixturing, tooling, materials, equipment, and processes
• Partner closely with Engineering, Quality, Production, and Supply Chain
• Support welding automation, robotics, and advanced manufacturing technology
• Help improve first-pass quality, productivity, and repeatability
What We’re Looking For:
Bachelor’s degree in Welding Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Industrial Engineering, or related field
✅ AWS CWI or equivalent certification
⚓ Welding engineering/process experience in shipbuilding or boatbuilding
Strong experience with both aluminum and steel welding
Knowledge of welding metallurgy, distortion control, joint design, filler materials, shielding gases, and weld sequencing
Experience with ABS/AWS welding standards
Strong root cause analysis and continuous improvement skills
Preferred: 5+ years of welding process, manufacturing engineering, or welding quality experience in vessel construction.
This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer who enjoys being on the production floor, solving difficult technical problems, and seeing their work become part of a finished vessel.
