Welder / MIG/MAG/TIG, Fabrication
SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.
TIG WELDER (STARSHIP ELECTRONICS)The primary focus is precision TIG (GTAW) welding on flight hardware—structures, propellant subsystems, and aft sump components. Dual-process capability (TIG + MIG) is valued. You will occasionally support electro-mechanical build and integration of related Starship assemblies. Work is performed to strict quality, cleanliness, FOD, and documentation standards.
Responsibilities- Perform TIG welding on Starship stainless and aerospace alloys per drawings, WPS, and work instructions
- Execute fit-up, tack, and weld sequences with high dimensional accuracy and weld quality
- Perform visual and dimensional inspection of own welds
- Complete as-built documentation and maintain traceability
- Use MIG (GMAW) as a secondary process when required for fit-up,tacking, or production needs
- Occasional electro-mechanical support: chassis/PCB assembly, harness routing, basic functional checks, conformal coat/masking support
- Follow HT27 5S, safety, ESD, and FOD protocols
- Collaborate with production, engineering, and quality
- High school diploma or equivalency certificate
- 1+ years TIG welding experience (aerospace, pressure vessel, or structural preferred)
OR certificate of completion for welding from an accredited program - Ability to read blueprints, weld symbols, and detailed work instructions
- Experience TIG welding stainless steel and similar alloys
- MIG welding experience (most proficient TIG welders are also MIG capable;dual-processis a plus)
- Hands-on experience with large stainless structures, tanks, or propellant hardware
- Some electro-mechanical assembly experience (harnesses, connectors, chassis build, conformal coat)
- NASA-STD-8739.3, IPC-A-610, or equivalent (a plus)
- Experience in a fast-paced flight-hardware production environment
- Excellent attention to detail, communication, and adaptability
- Standing for long periods, climbing ladders, bending, grasping, sitting, pulling, pushing, stooping, and stretching
- Must be able tolift upto
25lbsunassisted - Overtime, weekends, or shifts as production requires
