Fabrication Specialist

Newnan, GA

Posted: 08/17/2023 Industry: Manufacturing Job Number: 26424

Job Description

Our client is a leader in the powersports industry and has an immediate need for a passionate Prototype Fabrication Specialist. As a Prototype Fabrication Specialist  the candidate will be challenged to partner in the creation of four-wheeled off-road vehicles and/or technologies 4-8+ years in the future with the intent to be adopted as OE development projects for production.  This role is highly creative as well as highly hands-on.  While the vehicle design direction will be defined, the means to accomplish the intent often requires technical improvisation and creative thinking.  Although the role is Prototype Fabrication Specialist, the nature of the small Advanced Development group is highly collaborative with the Prototype Fabrication Specialist having secondary roles extending to vehicle build and testing.

Ideally candidates should have the ability to visualize and create minimalist jigs/fixturing required to accomplish design intent.

Job Responsibilities:
 
  • Principal responsibilities are welding of vehicle chassis and sub-components using MIG and TIG processes.  Typically, MIG is used for main frame and A-arms and TIG is used for specialized steel parts and/or aluminum parts.
  • While limited fixturing is provided, a strong understanding of weld sequencing and creative improvised fixturing is required.
  • Secondary responsibilities are milling and lathe turning.  While milled and turned parts are typically sourced through prototype suppliers, custom mill and lather work are regularly required to modify existing proto parts and to make small jigs to locate welded parts.
  • Additional lesser responsibilities include modifying plastic body parts for custom applications, electrical component integration (custom wiring), vehicle build and vehicle proofing (test driving/refining).

Required:
  • High School Diploma or GED
  • 5 Years as a Fabricator professionally or personal in powersports or applicable industry
  • Very strong hands-on skills related to MIG welding, less so for TIG.  Ability to manipulate CAD model/s and read blueprints/sketches to determine design intent to identify both weld dimensions and weld sequencing as necessary.
  • Ability to sketch ideas in 3D Space
  • Experience professionally or personally maintaining/modifying UTV, ATC and/or motorcycles
This is a Full-Time/Direct Hire Position
Salary $70k-$95k
Please submit resume to: wendyc@selectek.com
