Senior Welder

At Relativity Space, we’re building rockets to serve today’s needs and tomorrow’s breakthroughs. Our Terran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting the growing demand for launch capacity. But that’s just the start. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock new opportunities to advance science, exploration, and innovation, pioneering progress that reaches beyond the known.

Joining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level. Here, you're not just executing tasks; you're solving problems that haven’t been solved before, helping develop a rocket, a factory, and a business from the ground up. Whether you’re in propulsion, manufacturing, software, avionics, or a corporate function, you’ll collaborate across teams, shape decisions, and see your work come to life in record time.

Relativity is a place where creativity and technical rigor go hand in hand, and your voice will help define the stories we’re writing together. Now is a unique moment in time where it’s early enough to leave your mark on the product, the process, and the culture, but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and picking up momentum.

The most meaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us.

About the Team:

Our mission is to redefine how rockets are built and launched. At the Cape launch site, our team handles all aspects of vehicle, payload, pad, and recovery operations. As a Welder on the Launch Team, you'll play a pivotal role in building critical components and systems on the Terran R launch site. Success in this role requires the ability to thrive in a fast-paced aerospace environment, complete complex projects, and collaborate seamlessly across teams.

You should be capable of delivering high-quality work and managing projects with minimal supervision.

About the Role:

As a Welder on the Launch Team, you will be responsible for fabricating, fitting, and welding critical piping systems that support the Terran R launch site, including process piping, utility systems, and other ground support infrastructure. You will work closely with engineering, fabrication, and construction teams to ensure piping systems are installed safely, accurately, and to the highest quality standards. Your expertise in welding, attention to detail, and ability to produce high-quality welds in both shop and field environments will be essential to building reliable systems that support launch operations.

About You:

• You have 5+ years of professional welding and fabrication experience, with a strong background in pipe welding and industrial systems
• You're proficient in multiple welding processes, including TIG, MIG, FCAW, and stick welding, and can consistently produce high-quality welds
• You can read and interpret isometric drawings, blueprints, weld procedures, and welding symbols
• You have experience fitting, fabricating, and installing pipe and mechanical assemblies, with a strong attention to precision and quality
• You're comfortable using a variety of fabrication and hand tools, including grinders, drills, saws, and other shop equipment
• You have experience operating heavy equipment such as forklifts, reach lifts, and man lifts
• You're able to safely lift up to 40 lbs. and thrive in an active construction or industrial environment

Nice to Haves but not required:

• AWS or ASME welding certifications
• Experience welding carbon steel, stainless steel, and other specialty alloys
• Previous experience in aerospace, power generation, shipbuilding, petrochemical, or other heavy industrial environments
• Experience working in fast-paced field construction, commissioning, or launch site operations where safety, quality, and execution are critical

Successful candidates must clear a background check administered by the US government to obtain clearance for on-site work at our government partner location in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

At Relativity Space, we are committed to transparency and fairness in our compensation practices. Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, qualifications, and other job-related factors.

Compensation is only one part of our total rewards package.…
