Los AngelesOn-siteFull-time

AI Summary

Welder role focused on precision TIG, MIG, arc welding and assembly of aerospace structural and piping components; requires interpreting drawings, maintaining weld quality, and operating in a safety-focused environment.

About this role

Hermeus is a venture-backed defense aviation company reclaiming the lost art of rapid iterative prototyping to build the fastest aircraft in the world today. By prioritizing relentless hardware iteration, we deliver high-speed systems at the pace of the modern battlefield. We work with the Department of War to provide the high-speed capabilities our nation and its allies need to maintain a durable, asymmetric advantage.

As a Welder, you will play a key role in fabricating, assembling, and joining structural and piping components critical to our production and mission operations. You’ll work closely with engineering and manufacturing teams to execute precise, high-quality welds across a variety of materials, ensuring all products meet rigorous performance and safety standards. This role is hands-on and suited for an experienced professional who thrives in a fast-paced, technical, and safety-focused environment.

Responsibilities

  • Perform precision TIG, MIG, and arc welding on carbon steel, stainless steel, and high-nickel alloys.
  • Interpret engineering drawings and welding symbols to ensure dimensional accuracy and conformance.
  • Execute high-precision laser welding on thin-gauge and high-strength alloys, maintaining tight control of heat input, distortion, and weld integrity in mission-critical hardware.
  • Fabricate, assemble, and pressure-test structural and piping systems supporting aerospace and defense operations.
  • Maintain compliance with ASME, AWS, and company weld standards, following approved procedures.
  • Uphold strict safety, cleanliness, and quality standards in all work areas.
  • Collaborate with engineering, quality, and production teams to resolve fabrication challenges.
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives and contribute to process optimization.
  • Requirements

  • High school diploma or GED; technical welding certification preferred.
  • 5+ years of experience in aerospace, defense, or high-precision fabrication.
  • Skilled in blueprint interpretation and all-position welding (flat, horizontal, vertical, overhead).
  • Proven ability to fabricate and weld carbon and stainless structures and pipe to spec.
  • Must pass company-administered weld qualification tests and internal inspections.
  • Available to work overtime and varied shifts to meet mission timelines.
  • Physically able to lift 50 lbs, work at heights, and operate in confined or outdoor environments.
  • Preferred Skills and Experience

  • 5+ years of GTAW welding experience with stainless, carbon, Inconel, aluminum, or titanium.
  • Knowledge of ASME Section IX, AWS D17.1, or MIL-STD welding codes.
  • Experience in aerospace component fabrication or ground support systems.
  • Skilled in tube and pipe cutting, grinding, and precision assembly.
  • Familiar with pressure testing, inspection, and NDE methods.
  • Proficient with precision measuring instruments and quality documentation.
  • Understanding of welding metallurgy and heat control for high-integrity welds.
  • Familiarity with advanced tooling and fixturing practices used in precision welded assembly fabrication.
