Daily tasks may include setting up welding machines, arranging workpieces, inspecting finished welds for quality, and ensuring a safe, organized work area. This role often works closely with welders, fabricators, and supervisors, providing hands-on assistance and contributing to rapid project completion. It's a great opportunity to gain experience and knowledge for career advancement in the welding trade.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the welding side position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Welding Side, you need practical skills in welding techniques, blueprint reading, and metal fabrication, often supported by a high school diploma or vocational training. Familiarity with welding equipment such as MIG/TIG welders, cutting torches, and adherence to safety standards and certifications (like AWS) is typically required. Attention to detail, teamwork, and reliability are important soft skills for excelling in this role. These competencies ensure that welds meet quality specifications and safety guidelines while maintaining efficient workflow in industrial settings.

Job description

At Relativity Space, we're building rockets to serve today's needs and tomorrow's breakthroughs. Our Terran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting the growing demand for launch capacity. But that's just the start. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock new opportunities to advance science, exploration, and innovation, pioneering progress that reaches beyond the known.
Joining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level. Here, you're not just executing tasks; you're solving problems that haven't been solved before, helping develop a rocket, a factory, and a business from the ground up. Whether you're in propulsion, manufacturing, software, avionics, or a corporate function, you'll 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 we're writing together. Now is a unique moment in time where it's early enough to leave your mark on the product, the process, and the culture, but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and picking up momentum. The most meaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us.
About the Team:
The Stage Manufacturing team turns design into reality, owning the build of Terran R's primary structures. This isn't about turning the same bolt every day; it's about building the systems to build the rocket. Engineers and technicians work side by side, with deep collaboration and real-time feedback, to shape how we build better and faster. With a manifest and a launch date, it's up to the team to deliver on Terran R: solving challenges in real time, optimizing for scale, and constantly improving processes. As the vehicle evolves, so will the factory, with opportunities to apply automation, machine learning, and advanced technologies. What we build here sets the blueprint for the future of scaled launch.
