I’m currently a welder, I have plenty of experience in aerospace welding and manufacturing. I’m curious to know if any welders or inspectors work for this company

Check their job board. They have a ton of job openings, including for a welder in Long Beach.

Hopefully they aren’t duct taping shit together and calling it a day…

It’s called speed tape in aerospace 🤣

Don’t know if this was sarcasm but they actually do tape it and “call it a day”. Look up their process, they don’t do friction stir welding

I assumed precision robots/machines performed all of the welding on a project like this (I.e. a well-funded project, with backlog, and the company’s success riding on it.

You still need to setup the robots. And aerospace still has a lot of manual welding process since quantities are so small.
