Published: June 16, 2026 | By LocalJobPage Team
Tulsa, OK — Tulsa's manufacturing reputation just reached orbit. Quantum Space is opening a new facility in T-Town to build advanced, maneuverable spacecraft for defense and commercial space missions, and it is bringing a batch of high-skill jobs to Green Country.
Engineering, precision machining, welding, and inspection roles, building the parts that fly to space.
What Quantum Space is building
The Tulsa facility will be the company's primary site for large propulsion tank manufacturing and precision spacecraft parts, supporting production of its Ranger spacecraft. The plant, initially in the 25,000 to 40,000-square-foot range, is being equipped for CNC machining, friction stir welding, assembly and fabrication, non-destructive testing, and pressure testing. In plain terms, it is serious, high-precision work.
The jobs and the timeline
The facility is expected to create up to 50 high-skill jobs to start, with room to grow as production scales. Hiring has been getting underway through 2026, with roles spanning engineering, precision manufacturing, quality inspection, and operations support. For experienced machinists, welders, and technicians, this is a chance to put aerospace-grade work on your resume.
Why Tulsa landed it
This is no accident. Tulsa already has one of the deepest aerospace and advanced-manufacturing workforces in the country, anchored by the American Airlines maintenance base and a cluster of aerospace suppliers. Companies like Quantum Space come here because the skilled people are already here. That depth is exactly why a space-hardware manufacturer can staff up in T-Town.

How to position yourself
Precision manufacturing rewards specifics. If you machine, weld, or inspect, lead with your certifications, tolerances you have held, and the materials you have worked. Aerospace experience is a plus, but Tulsa's broader manufacturing base is a natural pipeline, so do not count yourself out if your background is in oil and gas, automotive, or general fabrication.
