Welding Automation Engineer, Chamber and Nozzle (Raptor)

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.

WELDING AUTOMATION ENGINEER, CHAMBER AND NOZZLE (RAPTOR)

SpaceX is seeking an engineer with deep expertise in automated welding to create the Raptor engine’s combustion chamber and nozzle. These components feature some of the most complex geometries in rocket propulsion — including intricate regenerative cooling channels, thin-walled high-temperature alloys, and tight-tolerance surfaces that must survive extreme thermal and pressure cycles across hundreds of reuse cycles.

You will design, implement, and scale manual and automated welding systems that increase production throughput, improve weld consistency, and reduce defects while enabling rapid design iteration. This role s...
