Welder

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.

WELDER

Welders in McGregor, TX, will work to build structural and/or fluid systems to support various testing campaigns in Central Texas. The welders work with an elite team of other fabricators to rapidly build the large assemblies that will support vehicle and component testing at our test site.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Perform at least two of the following processes, depending upon the needs of the business: Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW), Shielded Metal Arc Welding/stick welding (SMAW), Gas Tungsten Arc Welding/TIG welding (GTAW), and Gas Metal Arc Welding/MIG welding (GMAW)

• Fit up and weld structures or pipe spools made of mild carbon steel, low alloy, stainless, aluminum, or exotics, depending upon the needs of the business

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

• Perform fabrication math to derive dimensions, angles, pup lengths, part locations, etc., from drawings (understand take-offs for pipe fittings)

• Analyze engineering drawings and specifications to plan fitting and 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

• Check drawings and instructions after each Work Order operation to ensure they are complete

• Handle and dispose of hazardous materials in an approved manner

• Set up safety equipment and work platforms at elevation

• Perform other related duties, as assigned, for the purpose of ensuring a
