Relativity Space

Overview

At Relativity Space, we’re building rockets to serve today’s needs and tomorrow’s breakthroughs. The Launch Welder III will fabricate, fit, and weld piping systems for the Terran R launch site, collaborating across teams to support the development of innovative aerospace solutions.

Responsibilities

• Read and interpret engineering drawings, piping isometrics, fabrication prints, weld procedures, and specifications.
• 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, and pipe preparation equipment.
• 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.

Requirements

• 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.

Benefits

• PTO
