Senior TIG Welder, Second Shift

About the Team:

The Stage Manufacturing team turns design into reality, owning the build of Terran R's primary structures. This isn't about turning the same bolt every day; it's about building the systems to build the rocket. Engineers and technicians work side by side, with deep collaboration and real-time feedback, to shape how we build better and faster. With a manifest and a launch date, it's up to the team to deliver on Terran R: solving challenges in real time, optimizing for scale, and constantly improving processes.

As the vehicle evolves, so will the factory, with opportunities to apply automation, machine learning, and advanced technologies. What we build here sets the blueprint for the future of scaled launch.

This is a 2nd shift position with a standard schedule of 3:00 PM - 1:30 AM PT, Monday through Friday. The role includes a 10% shift differential added to the base pay. Please note that this position is structured around a baseline expectation of a 50-hour workweek, which may include occasional overtime as needed to meet operational goals.

About the Role:

* Collaborate with weld development team to develop and perform GTAW weld processes which will include: manual and semi-automated welding of aluminum, stainless steel, and Inconel.

* Prepare tooling and parts by trimming, beveling, cleaning, aligning, assembling, and tack welding.

* Help set up and optimize the production shop floor following 5S principles, loading and unloading hardware with use of overhead cranes or forklifts, installing structural mechanical piece parts and tooling, performing dimensional fitment inspections, accurately use precision measuring tools such as micrometers, calipers, and torque wrenches, performing visual weld inspections, perform precision blending using hand tools to prepare metallic surfaces for welding and non-destructive evaluation.

* Problem Solving:
Identify and resolve issues in the manufacturing process, which could include defects in materials, equipment malfunctions, or inefficiencies in production methods. Work with engineering to implement improvements.

* Safety & Quality:
Work alongside teammates to build a culture of safety, precision, and right-first-time.

* Teamwork:
Foster and inclusive environment for all members of the team

About You:

* 3+ year's performing GTAW welding.
