Welder (Starship) – Temporary

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 (STARSHIP) - TEMPORARY

Welders in this temporary position will participate in an accelerated training program at the SpaceX South Texas build site, preparing to qualify for welding on the Starship and Super Heavy vehicles through intensive hands-on instruction and certification. Under the mentorship of seasoned experts, trainees will simulate and progressively master the fabrication of the primary airframe, including cylindrical tanks, bulkheads, and large associated structures, building the precision skills needed for flight-ready hardware. Upon successful qualification, participants will join an elite team to rapidly execute these fabrication tasks, advancing the production of groundbreaking multiplanetary vehicles.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Perform 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
