About Us
Bartlett Additive Manufacturing, LLC, a Bartlett Maritime Corporation company, is standing up a new production facility in Cleveland, Ohio, to manufacture large metal components using wire-based additive manufacturing for U.S. defense customers. We are a small, senior, hands-on team building a facility, its quality systems, and its manufacturing processes from the ground up. The engineers who join now will write the procedures, choose the equipment, and set the standards the rest of the organization will follow.
Job Description
We are hiring a Welding Engineer to help establish a new wire-based additive manufacturing program from the first day. You will develop the processes, run the qualification builds, and build the program that lets Bartlett produce additive parts to government and industry specifications. This is a hands-on role for an engineer who wants to write the procedures and also be on the floor when they are tested.
Key Responsibilities
Develop welding and additive manufacturing process parameters, and write the procedure specifications that govern them.
Plan, run, and document procedure qualification builds, including test coupon design, destructive and nondestructive test plans, and Procedure Qualification Records (PQRs).
Help build the qualification program that lets Bartlett meet government customer requirements for additive manufacturing.
Drive operator qualification, including defining requirements, developing test plans, and tracking qualification currency.
Design the training plan for operators and technicians, and help deliver it.
Lead qualification of wire feedstock, including supplier requirements, incoming inspection, and lot acceptance.
Define heat treatment requirements and oversee heat treatment execution.
Oversee metallurgical evaluation performed by outside laboratories, and interpret results for process and design decisions.
Work with the Manufacturing Engineer and Quality Engineer to develop the Process Control Plan and the flow of parts from deposition to finish machining.
Improve and automate processes as the facility moves from first builds to production.
Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Welding Engineering.
[5 or more] years of experience in welding process development, welding engineering, or a closely related field.
Experience writing welding procedure specifications and running procedure qualifications to a recognized specification. Government (for example, military or naval) specification experience is valued, and commercial specification experience (for example, AWS, ASME, or API) is equally welcome.
Strong knowledge of welding metallurgy, including distortion and post-weld heat treatment.
Comfort with hands-on work: setting up a cell, running a build, and troubleshooting a process at the machine.
Clear technical writing. Much of this job is producing records that an auditor will read.
Experience with robotic or automated welding, or a strong desire to learn it.
Qualifications and Skills
Current Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) credential.
Experience with directed energy deposition or wire arc additive manufacturing.
Experience with titanium, copper-nickel alloys, or low alloy steels.
Experience developing operator qualification or training programs.
Familiarity with welding data capture and process monitoring.
This position requires U.S. citizenship. Candidates must be able to pass a background check, and the ability to obtain a security clearance may be required.
