Weld Technical Specialist II

At Relativity Space were building rockets to serve todays needs and tomorrows breakthroughs. OurTerran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit meeting the growing demand for launchcapacity. But thats just the start. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock newopportunities to advance science exploration and innovation pioneering progress that reaches beyondthe known.

Joining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy ownership and impact exist at every level. Here youre not just executing tasks; youre solving problems that havent been solved before helping develop a rocket a factory and a business from the ground up. Whether youre in propulsion manufacturing software avionics or a corporate function youll collaborate across teams shape decisions and see your work come to life in record time. Relativity is a place where creativity and technical rigor go hand in hand and your voice will help define the stories were writing together. Nowis a unique moment in time where its early enough to leave your mark on the product the process andthe culture but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and picking up momentum. The mostmeaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us.

About the Team:

The Materials and NDE (Non-Destructive Evaluation) team plays a central role in enabling Terran R to fly re-fly and scale: developing characterizing and inspecting materials and processes across all parts of the vehicle. From welding and additive manufacturing to advanced composites the team works at the intersection of innovation and execution balancing performance and reliability with cost quality and schedule. As we move toward first flight and beyond the challenges become more exciting offering opportunities to shape how we design and develop for re-use. With ownership across products systems and disciplines engineers gain broad exposure and drive key decisions across design manufacturing and operations.

About the Role:

• Work directly with technician and engineering teams to develop qualify and execute flight weld processes for Terran-R including manual and semi-automated GTAW and GMAW welding (equipment torches consumables and weld setup) and developing weld parameters for new weld procedure specifications
• Bring new welding equipment online and execute weld operations on both development and flight hardware including manual weld repairs
• Load and unload hardware using overhead cranes or forklifts and install structural mechanical piece parts and tooling
• Perform dimensional fitment inspections and visual weld inspections accurately using precision measuring tools such as micrometers calipers and torque wrenches
• Perform precision blending using hand tools to prepare metallic surfaces for welding and non-destructive evaluation
• Identify and resolve issues in the manufacturing process including material defects equipment malfunctions or production inefficiencies ensure all operations comply with Relativity Space standards and foster an inclusive environment for all team members

About You:

• 7 years of experience in aerospace welding weld operations or a related field
• 5 years of experience with GTAW or laser welding of aluminum stainless steel or Inconel materials
• Experience in fabrication including layout forming and assembly of metallic components
• Experience with weld fit-up weld prep post-weld blending repairs and dimensional inspections
• Ability to lift 25 lbs operate in confined spaces and work at elevated heights (training will be provided and reasonable accommodations will be made for qualified individuals with disabilities)
• Ability to adapt and thrive in fast-paced environments spanning both development and production

Nice to haves but not required:

• Experience with robotic or semi-automated welding systems
• Experience working with common aerospace materials (Al Inconel SS etc.)
• Strong knowledge of aerospace welding standards and specifications (e.g. AWS D17.1)
• Effective communication skills and team collaboration
• In-depth familiarity with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) to interpret blueprints and inspections at all assembly levels
