Welding Engineer / AWS D1.1 CWI

How We Operate

• Be a barrel. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role.
• Insane urgency. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.
• Reason from first principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins.
• Love of the game. The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward.
• Build something that actually matters. If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.

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.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
