About Factory Karts

At Factory Karts, we don't just build go-karts; we build championship-winning machines. Based in the heart of Phoenix, we are a fast-growing leader in the karting industry, dedicated to performance, innovation, and our racing community. We're looking for a Fulfillment Specialist who takes as much pride in the \"final lap\" of the customer experience as we do in our engineering.

The Role

We are looking for a precision-driven Welder Fabricator to join our production headquarters. This isn't your average fabrication job; this is high-performance motorsports manufacturing. We need a craftsman who understands that in racing, a weld isn't just a joint—it's a critical safety component and a work of art. You will be responsible for the assembly and TIG welding of kart chassis, components, and specialized racing equipment where strength, weight, and aesthetics must meet perfectly.

Key Responsibilities

• Precision TIG Welding: Primary focus on thin-wall 4130 Chromoly tubing and aluminum components.
• Fabrication & Fitment: Interpret blueprints and shop drawings to notch, bend, and fit tubing with extreme accuracy before welding.
• Jig Work: Work within tight-tolerance chassis jigs to ensure every frame is perfectly straight, square, and race-ready.
• Finishing: Expertly grind, sand, and prep surfaces for powder coating or plating.
• Prototype Support: Collaborate with our engineering team to develop new components and custom racing solutions.

What We're Looking For

• Proven Experience: A strong history of high-quality TIG welding (preferably in motorsports, aerospace, or custom automotive).
• Blueprint Fluency: The ability to read a technical drawing and turn it into a physical part with minimal supervision.
• Equipment Mastery: Proficiency with cold saws, tube notchers, benders, and precision hand tools.
• The \"Racing Mindset\": A dedication to quality and an understanding of the high-stakes environment of competitive racing.

Why Join Us?

• Competitive pay and growth opportunities within a growing brand.
• A high-energy work environment surrounded by world-class racing technology.
