About the role
TIG WELDER Freeform builds AI-native manufacturing systems that unify software, hardware, and physics to produce industrial-scale parts at the speed of human ideation. By treating manufacturing as a single integrated system, we unlock a new era of innovation where complex hardware is designed, built, and scaled without limits. As a TIG Welder, you will work closely with our engineering and manufacturing teams to fabricate high-precision stainless-steel tubing and structural assemblies used throughout our next-generation metal 3D printing systems. You will perform high-quality TIG welds on thin-walled pipes, tubes, and custom fixtures that supports our internal factory infrastructure. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, takes pride in craftsmanship, and thrives in a fast-paced environment where quality and reliability matter. 3D printing experience is not required to be successful here - rather we look for smart, motivated, collaborative individuals who love solving hard problems and creating amazing technology!
Responsibilities: TIG welding thin-walled stainless steel tubes, pipes, and other various structures using Miller Syncrowave 180 TIG Welder Use of fixturing equipment such as magnetic and corner clamps Use of fabrication equipment including miter saws, band saws, and grinders Welding structures for the worlds highest throughput metal 3D printing system Basic
Requirements: 3+ years of TIG welding experience Experience welding stainless steel and aluminum Preferred Skills and Experience: 5+ years of TIG welding experience Experience with precision welding Experience welding in an aerospace environment Experience welding thin-walled pipes, tubes, or other various structures Ability to perform other fabrication duties in the machine shop if interest / time permits Location: Based in Hawthorne, our vertically integrated facility brings technology development, R&D, and production together under one roof. We operate at the center of LA’s deep tech ecosystem, surrounded by some of the most ambitious hardware innovation happening anywhere in the country. Our fast-paced, cross-functional environment is built on close collaboration, and as such, this role requires full-time onsite presence (five days a week), with very limited exceptions. What We Offer: We have an inclusive and diverse culture that values collaboration, learning, and making deliberate data-driven decisions.
