Job Description

Armor Welding Specialist / Defense Fabrication Welder

Job Type: Contract

Pay: Based on Experience

Position Summary

We are seeking an experienced Armor Welding Specialist / Defense Fabrication Welder with hands-on experience welding armor steel for defense or military vehicle applications. This position requires demonstrated work with high-strength armor materials and controlled welding procedures. Candidates must have actual defense or armor-steel fabrication experience; general MIG or structural welding alone will not meet the requirements.

Responsibilities

  • Weld and fabricate armor-steel components and defense assemblies

  • Perform GMAW/MIG and/or FCAW multi-pass welding on high-strength and quenched-and-tempered steels

  • Fabricate components such as armor panels, hulls, doors, turrets, vehicle structures, and ballistic protection assemblies

  • Work from fabrication drawings, welding symbols, specifications, and controlled welding procedures

  • Follow qualified Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS)

  • Control preheat, interpass temperature, heat input, fit-up, and distortion

  • Complete welds to required quality and dimensional standards

  • Perform inspections and address weld defects or fabrication issues

  • Maintain accurate welding and production documentation

  • Follow all safety, quality, and defense-industry procedures

Required Qualifications

  • Documented professional welding background with armor-steel or defense fabrication experience

  • Hands-on experience with one or more of the following:

  • MIL-DTL-12560 armor plate

    • MIL-DTL-46100 high-hardness armor plate
    • SSAB ARMOX 500T
    • SSAB ARMOX 440T
  • Experience welding high-strength or quenched-and-tempered steels

  • GMAW/MIG and/or FCAW welding experience

  • Experience working to controlled or qualified WPS requirements

  • Knowledge of preheat, interpass temperature, heat input, fit-up, and distortion control

  • Ability to read fabrication drawings, welding symbols, and specifications

  • Current or previous recognized welder qualification/certification relevant to the work

  • Ability to provide permitted examples of previous work, project history, references, weld samples, or photographs when allowed by confidentiality requirements

Preferred Qualifications

  • AWS welder qualification and/or AWS D1.x experience

  • TACOM, military ground-vehicle, or defense OEM welding background

  • Experience with defense-specific welding procedures and qualifications

  • Familiarity with NDT and weld inspection

  • AWS CWI, CWE, or SCWI credentials for senior or lead-level candidates
