TIG Welder (Starship)

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)

Tank fabricators will work to build the primary airframe of the Starship and Super Heavy vehicles at the SpaceX South Texas build site. The tank fabricator will work with an elite team of other fabricators and technicians to rapidly build the tank (cylindrical structure), tank bulkheads, and other large associated structures for the flight article design of both vehicles.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• GTAW class A welds; cut, trim, fit and fabricate metal components to dimensions for building and assembling

• Collaborate with lead welder to ensure that the proper weld procedure, type of material and rod size are accurately assessed for each welding project

• Analyze engineering drawings and specifications to plan welding operations where procedural information is unavailable

• Make a continuous effort to improve operations, decrease turnaround times, streamline work processes, and work cooperatively and jointly

• Perform other related duties, as assigned, for the purpose of ensuring an efficient and effective work environment

• Weld assembly and fabrication of various small to large scale structures and assemblies

• Effectively communicate with management/supervisors, engineering staff and planners to achieve build efficiency

• Modify repair, assemble, and install launch vehicles

• Check work after completion of each operation in job and/or completed job to ensure it is complete per drawing

• Handle and dispose of hazardous materials in approved manner

• Install and assemble custom and off-the-shelf
