What’s SpaceX like in terms of their business, the role, and the work culture?

Well, as an Orbital Tube Welder, you’ll be setting up and operating the orbital welding system, working from blueprints, cutting and preparing tubing and fittings, and inspecting completed assemblies. You’ll also need to maintain the welding system and keep your work area clean. It sounds like a hands-on role with a lot of attention to detail!

So, you’ll need at least a high school diploma or an equivalency certificate, plus either a year of welding, machining, or manufacturing experience, or a certificate from an accredited trade skills program. If you have more experience, like 3+ years of orbital welding, that would be a big plus!

You’ll need to be flexible with your schedule since they have various shifts, including early mornings, late nights, and even weekends. They offer shifts from Monday to Friday and Thursday to Sunday, so you’ll have to be ready to work when needed.

The pay range for an Orbital Tube Welder varies based on experience. For Level 1, it’s between $23.00 and $27.00 per hour, while Level 2 ranges from $26.00 to $32.50, and Level 3 goes from $31.00 to $38.00. Your actual pay will depend on your skills and experience, so it could be a nice opportunity!

Actually, SpaceX has a pretty comprehensive benefits package! You’ll get medical, vision, and dental coverage, a 401(k) plan, and even life insurance. Plus, you can accrue paid vacation and enjoy various discounts and perks. They also offer long-term incentives like stock options, which is pretty cool!
