You arrive for a steady, daytime schedule — Monday–Thursday, 7:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m., and Friday, 7:00 a.m.–11:00 a.m. In a clean medical device manufacturing environment, you set up TIG (GTAW) equipment and get to work on high‑mix, low‑volume parts in stainless steel and aluminum. You review travelers and work instructions, study the blueprint with its welding symbols, and plan your manual layout and surface prep. With parts secured in fixtures, you lay down precise welds, check dimensions with gauges and measuring tools, and sign off to stringent quality standards. When a challenge pops up, you jump into problem‑solving alongside the team.
