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
We’re 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. You’ll work on complex assemblies that demand tight tolerances, repeatability, and zero-defect execution across aerospace-grade materials.
What You’ll 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
