JOB SUMMARY
The Weld Repair Engineer is focused specifically on the product weld repair strategy release into TG2. In this role, the engineer generates plans for streamlined weld repairs for aerospace components with a focus on minimizing heat input, cracking, and distortion. Through proactive repair plans, engineers drive reduced rework, improve turnaround time (TAT), and increase overall production throughput in the Weld & Heat Treat Departments.
Additionally, this position provides hands-on technical support to production teams involving weld repair plans and ensure all operations comply with engineering specifications, OEM requirements, quality standards, and environmental regulations. This position interprets complex engineering drawings, repair specifications, and metallurgical requirements to design tooling, fixtures, programming, and optimized parameters that maintain airworthiness and material integrity.
CRT is a customer focused organization that prides itself on being agile and reactive to customer needs. Our Engineering team strives to deliver excellent quality of our products and service to our customer.
