Siemens Energy

A Snapshot of Your Day

The Welding and Materials Engineer is a dedicated, technical customer facing individual, who is focused on developing unique repair solutions of engineered-to-order turbomachinery. You will work closely with a multidisciplinary group of repair engineers, material scientists, and metallurgists to evaluate and develop coating and welding repair technologies. You will also focus on working with an international team on developing and testing new innovative repair technologies, such as advanced coating techniques, laser welding processes, and additive manufacturing of components.

The weld engineer will be responsible for developing welding techniques, procedures, and application of welding equipment to problems involving fabrication of metals, welding/brazing repair of castings, joining of dissimilar metals, utilizing knowledge of production specifications, properties and characteristics of metals and metal alloys, and engineering principles. This will be accomplished by providing guidance and leadership to the service center through managing and resolving issues associated with the inspection, repair, and replacement of all equipment.
