About this role
Making the Metals Powering the World
Solcoa is building the next generation of American metalmaking, starting with rare earths — the metals of power and motion. We've developed a new chemistry that converts rare earth oxides into high-purity metals — the materials inside every EV, fighter jet, wind turbine, and data center — cleaner, cheaper, and faster than any conventional process. Now we're scaling it to thousands of tonnes of annual production.
The Role — Technician (TIG Welding, Fabrication & Assembly)
Build the hardware that powers our plants. You’ll fabricate parts, TIG-weld assemblies, operate machine-shop tools, and assemble/commission reactor and support equipment. You bring discipline, craftsmanship, and a safety-first mindset to every task.
What You’ll Do
TIG weld stainless, carbon, and specialty alloys; prep joints, fit-up, and perform clean, repeatable welds.
Fabricate brackets, frames, enclosures, and fixtures from prints—cutting, bending, drilling, tapping, and finishing.
Operate machine shop tools (mills, lathes, drill presses, bandsaws, grinders) for basic machining and rework.
Assemble mechanical and pneumatic subsystems: flanges, seals, valves, fittings, sensors, and wiring harness routing.
Read and mark up drawings; hold tolerances; verify dimensions with calipers, micrometers, and gauges.
Execute SOPs for build, inspection, leak checks, and pressure tests; document work.
Support prototype builds and on-the-floor debug; implement quick-turn fixes and continuous improvements.
Maintain a clean, organized shop; enforce safety practices for hot work, lifting/rigging, and compressed gases.
What You Bring
Required
Proven TIG welding skill on thin sheet and tube (stainless preferred); strong fit-up and finish quality.
Hands-on fabrication experience and proficiency with common shop tools.
Ability to read mechanical drawings and follow detailed build procedures.
Disciplined, reliable execution—on spec, on time, with excellent documentation.
Comfort working independently in a fast-paced, hardware-first environment.
Availability to start soon.
Preferred
Experience assembling industrial equipment, reactors, furnaces, or vacuum components.
Basic machining experience (manual mill/lathe) and simple CAD familiarity for markups.
Certifications in welding or safety (e.g., AWS, OSHA 10/30) are a plus.
Compensation & Benefits
Competitive base salary
Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
Company-provided lunch daily
Visa sponsorship available if needed
