The opportunity
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.
What you'll do
Define avionics architecture and requirements for new vehicles, including: power, data, RF, and sensor topologies
Work directly with other responsible engineers on structures, propulsion,: GNC, software, and customer teams to define and close vehicle electrical interfaces
Design vehicle wiring diagrams and harnesses, and own the electrical: integration of avionics boxes, sensors, and actuators into the vehicle
Perform system-level trades on mass, power, thermal, manufacturability, cost,: and schedule to drive design decisions early in the program
Plan and execute system-level integration and test, including integration: lane checkouts and vehicle-level testing, and support hardware-in-the-loop testing with partner teams
Develop, execute, and document system verification on flight and: flight-representative hardware, and validate the as-built vehicle is “go for launch”
What they're looking for
- Troubleshoot issues on integrated vehicles and test setups on an aggressive development schedule
- Support launch operations on console, including real-time troubleshooting of the vehicle
- Develop tools and automation for test, analysis, and manipulation of large data sets
- Lead system projects, including development schedules, task ownership, and: the internal and external resources required to support them
