Orbital Welder (Austin)

Orbital Welder – Semiconductor Manufacturing

We are currently hiring experienced Orbital Welders to support our growing semiconductor manufacturing operations. Multiple openings are available on both 1st and 2nd shift for candidates with cleanroom fabrication and high-purity welding experience.

This position is responsible for manufacturing ultra-high-purity (UHP) gas line assemblies and precision welded components used in semiconductor and advanced technology environments. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience performing orbital welding in a cleanroom setting while maintaining strict quality and dimensional standards.

Primary Responsibilities

• Perform orbital welding of hastelloy and stainless steel tubing, gas lines, valves, and semiconductor process components.
• Manufacture ultra-high-purity (UHP) weldments and assemblies in a cleanroom environment.
• Set up, calibrate, and operate orbital welding equipment using proper weld programs and parameters.
• Configure purge systems and gas mixing equipment to achieve high-purity weld standards.
• Perform fit-up, alignment, tacking, scribing, cutting, and fabrication operations while maintaining tight tolerances.
• Produce clean, high-quality, vacuum-tight welds on precision assemblies.
• Read and interpret blueprints, weld procedures, engineering drawings, and work instructions.
• Maintain dimensional tolerances and quality standards throughout fabrication and assembly processes.
• Clean, label, etch, bag, and package assemblies according to semiconductor cleanliness requirements.
• Create and document weld coupons, inspection records, and production logs.
• Perform routine and preventative maintenance on orbital welding and cleanroom equipment.
• Collaborate with production, quality, and engineering teams to meet manufacturing schedules and customer requirements.
• Follow all cleanroom procedures, safety standards, and PPE requirements.

Qualifications & Experience

• Experience welding stainless steel tubing and UHP gas line assemblies preferred.
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints, technical drawings, and written instructions.
• Understanding of welding procedures, purge processes, and weld parameter setup.
• Familiarity with precision measuring tools and tight tolerance fabrication.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and attention to detail.
• Ability to work independently and within a team-oriented manufacturing environment.
• Welding certification or technical training is a plus.

Physical Requirements & Work Environment

• Ability to stand for extended periods and perform repetitive hand movements.
• Frequent bending, reaching, kneeling, lifting, and material handling.
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs. with assistance when necessary.
• Must be able to work in a cleanroom manufacturing environment while wearing required PPE.
• Exposure to welding equipment, moving machinery, and moderate industrial noise levels.
