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
Use NX CAD/CAM to program CNC parts, including 5-axis milling (flank and: point milling) for roughing and finishing of airfoils, roots, and shrouds.
Program or support programs for grinding, sinker EDM, wire EDM, trailing-edge: machining, laser drilling, and stem drilling under Specialist/lead guidance.
Verify NC files (e.g. Vericut), maintain revision control on programs and: setup sheets, and work with posts and G-code as needed.
Apply knowledge of carbide and process-specific tooling/consumables; adjust: speeds, feeds, and parameters with guidance.
Read and interpret engineering drawings, including GD&T, and offer: suggestions on drawing and process changes to improve manufacturability (DFM).
Design and/or machine simple fixtures, brackets, holders, and rigging as directed.
What they're looking for
- Support machine setup, operation, and prove-out across mill, grind, EDM, laser, and related cells.
- High school diploma or equivalency certificate.
- + years of CNC programming experience in NX, including 5-axis milling (or: equivalent CAM with demonstrated ability to ramp on NX 5-axis).
- + years of CNC programming experience in NX.
