## Description

We are seeking a Certified Weld Inspector to support the buildout of SpaceXSI's high-performance data centers. In this hands-on role, you will inspect welds on industrial piping and structural steel and keep quality moving on our next-generation AI supercomputing infrastructure.

You will work closely with welding, mechanical, structural, and operations teams to verify weld quality from construction through turnover. This is a full-time, onsite role with significant travel to SpaceXSI data center sites.

## Responsibilities:

- Inspect welds in progress and at completion on large-bore industrial piping and structural steel, and accept or reject them against the applicable code, welding procedure specification (WPS), and drawings.

- Interpret AWS, ASME, and project specifications against isometric, spool, structural, and arrangement drawings.

- Monitor GTAW, SMAW, FCAW, and GMAW work and confirm it is performed to the qualified welding procedure.

- Verify and document welder qualifications before a welder is released to weld on the package.

- Check joint design and preparation, fit-up, cleanliness, tack quality, preheat, interpass temperature, and interpass and final cleaning.

- Verify base metal and filler metal against the applicable specifications, including control and handling of welding consumables.

- Recommend and verify repairs, then visually inspect the completed repair before the joint is released.

- Oversee nondestructive examination and any required proof or mechanical testing, and confirm fabrication and inspection records are complete.

- Record inspection results and communicate findings to construction, welding, and engineering.

- Review contractor welding and inspection practices on site.

- Follow hot-work, LOTO, PPE, and site rules; report rejected welds, unsafe conditions, and drawing conflicts immediately.

- Support punch-list and NDE hold points through system turnover.

## Basic Qualifications:

- Current American Welding Society (AWS) Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) certification.

- High school diploma or equivalency certificate.

## Preferred Skills and Experience:

- Experience visually inspecting welded industrial piping and/or structural steel in the field.

- Working knowledge of ASME Section IX and AWS D1.1.

- Nondestructive testing Level II, in line with ASNT SNT-TC-1A, in visual testing (VT), magnetic particle (MT), liquid penetrant (PT), ultrasonic (UT), or phased array ultrasonic (PAUT).

- Prior experience on data center, industrial, or heavy-civil construction sites.

- Willingness to work at heights, outdoors, and on a changing data center construction site.

- Strong safety mindset and willingness to follow site procedures, including hot-work permits and inspection hold points.

- Willingness to work extended hours, nights, and weekends during critical construction windows.

- OSHA 10 or equivalent training.

- Ability to read isometric, spool, structural, and weld-map drawings and to record inspection results on a computer.

## Additional Requirements:

- Ability to travel extensively to SpaceXSI data center construction sites and remain onsite during peak construction phases.
