Full Job Description
Role Scope
  • - Write and qualify welding procedure specifications and procedure qualification records to AWS D1.1 for the structural and pressure-boundary welds in modular data center assemblies.
  • - Inspect and certify welds across the manufacturing line, signing off on the work an AHJ or auditor will not accept without a qualified inspector.
  • - Build the weld quality program for a factory producing data center modules at rate, setting the acceptance criteria, NDE requirements, and first-pass-yield targets.
  • - Qualify welders and welding operators, and stand up the continuity and requalification tracking that keeps the whole line certified.
  • - Drive down weld defect and rework rates by root-causing failures on the floor and feeding fixes back into procedures and fixturing.
What We're Looking For
  • **The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.**
  • - You hold a current AWS Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) credential and have signed off on structural or pressure welds to AWS D1.1 or an equivalent code.
  • - You've written and qualified WPS and PQR documentation for production welding, not just reviewed someone else's.
  • - You've stood up or run a weld quality program in a manufacturing or fabrication environment producing at rate.
  • - You've qualified welders and managed the continuity records that keep a line's certifications valid.
  • - You root-cause weld defects on the floor and close the loop by fixing the procedure, the fixture, or the training, so the same defect doesn't come back.
  • - You read a weld map and a fabrication drawing and catch the problem before the first arc strikes.
  • - **Bonus:** ASME Section IX or B31 piping. NDE certifications (UT, RT, MT, PT). High-volume or modular fabrication. Robotic or automated welding. Data center or mission-critical infrastructure fabrication.
