Hermeus is a high-speed aircraft manufacturer focused on the rapid design, build, and test of high-Mach and hypersonic aircraft for the national interest. Working directly with the Department of Defense, Hermeus delivers capabilities that will ensure that our nation, and our allies, maintain an asymmetric advantage over any and all potential adversaries.
We are open to Senior or Principal leveling for this role. This position will support manufacturing and development of Hermeus vehicles and will help stand up welding processes, develop, qualify, and optimize welding designs and processes including but not limited to laser beam welding, gas tungsten arc welding, resistance welding, gas metal arc welding, and plasma arc welding. The welding engineer in this role will interface daily with design and manufacturing engineers to make welding judgment calls and improvements and will enforce standardized practices and procedures on multiple welded assemblies.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Support weld shop development to support full scale welded assemblies
Develop, optimize, and qualify weld processes and parameters for multiple welding processes including but not limited to laser beam welding, gas tungsten arc welding, resistance welding, gas metal arc welding, and plasma arc welding
Support design, manufacturing, and materials engineering with root cause analysis
Work closely with design, tooling, automation, and development engineers to improve welded designs for manufacturing
Set up welding qualification test campaigns and interpret mechanical testing and NDE results
Support manufacturing engineers and welders on correct techniques in a fast paced manufacturing environment
Develop and implement improved process control where possible using test and NDE results as feedback loop
Scope out new welding technologies that may be employed to improve rate/quality/efficiency
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
Bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline
Hands‑on fabrication, manufacturing, or testing experience of welded assemblies
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
Master’s degree in welding engineering or related technical program
Hands on welding experience of stainless steel, nickel-based, titanium, copper, and aluminum alloys
Experience with brazing, joining, and metallographic interpretation
Fundamental understanding of welding processes including, but not limited to laser beam, plasma arc, gas tungsten arc, and gas metal arc
Tooling design experience for welded assemblies to reduce part distortion and improve part consistency
Understanding of weld strength testing methodologies, standards, and data acquisition systems used to make informed welding decisions (ASTM E8, E399, E740, ISO 15653, AWS D17.X, AWS C7.X, thermos‑couples, strain gages, etc.)
Experience with root cause analysis and corrective actions including, but not limited to, optical and SEM fractography/metallography, hardness, chemical analysis, and mechanical testing
Self‑motivated engineer with keen attention to detail
ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES
Must be willing to work long hours and weekends as needed to support and maintain build schedules
Ability to perform job duties that require standing, kneeling, crouching, twisting upper body, working in cramped positions in small openings and climbing hand over hand
Strong ability to multi‑task and communicate status and results with broad spectrum of internal and external departments
$100 - $250 an hour
U.S. EXPORT CONTROL COMPLIANCE STATUS The person hired will have access to information and items subject to U.S. export controls, and therefore, must either be a “U.S. person” as defined by 22 C.F.R. § 120.62 or otherwise eligible for deemed export licensing. U.S. persons include U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, lawful permanent residents (green card holders), and asylees and refugees with such status granted, not pending.
