Launch Welder III

About the Team

The Launch team operates at the intersection of every major aspect of Terran R, from stages and payloads to ground systems, launch, landing, and refurbishment. The Cape is the only place where you see it all come together, offering a level of exposure and responsibility unmatched elsewhere in the program. This is where first flights happen, where history is built on top of history, and where the scale of what's underway is unlike anything in modern aerospace. The mission stays the same, but the work evolves with every milestone: from first launch to reuse, high-cadence operations, and beyond. If you're looking to define what's next in space launch and write a new playbook, not just repeat what’s already been done, this is where it happens.

About the Role

• Read and interpret engineering drawings, piping isometrics, fabrication prints, weld procedures, and specifications to support fit-up, fabrication, and installation work.
• Fit, fabricate, and weld piping systems and mechanical assemblies using welding processes such as TIG, MIG, FCAW, and stick welding.
• Perform pipe welding on carbon steel, stainless steel, and other applicable alloys in shop and field environments.
• Prepare, align, and install piping systems to meet fit-up, weld quality, and project specification requirements.
• Operate fabrication equipment and hand tools, including grinders, beveling tools, saws, pipe preparation equipment, and cutting tools.
• Support system installation, testing, and field integration activities in coordination with mechanical, construction, and engineering teams.
• Collaborate with management and engineering teams to improve safe, efficient, and repeatable fabrication, welding, and installation processes.
• Follow safety, quality, and workmanship standards while supporting project schedules and launch site operational needs.
• Perform launch site, fabrication, and welding-related tasks as assigned.

About You

• 5+ years of professional welding and fabrication experience, including experience with pipe welding and industrial systems.
• Experience using multiple welding processes, such as TIG, MIG, FCAW, and stick welding.
• Experience reading and interpreting isometric drawings, blueprints, weld procedures, and welding symbols.
• Experience fitting, fabricating, and installing piping systems or mechanical assemblies to meet applicable drawings, specifications, and quality requirements.
• Experience using fabrication tools and shop equipment, such as grinders, drills, saws, and pipe preparation tools.
• Experience operating equipment such as forklifts, reach lifts, man lifts, or similar equipment.
• Ability to perform welding and fabrication work in an active construction or industrial environment, which may include lifting up to 40 pounds and using required personal protective equipment.

Nice to haves but not required

• AWS, ASME, or equivalent welding certification.
• Experience welding carbon steel, stainless steel, specialty alloys, or similar materials.
• Experience working in aerospace, power generation, shipbuilding, petrochemical, heavy industrial, or similar environments.
• Experience supporting field construction, commissioning, launch site operations, or other safety-critical installation environments.
