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
Design, develop, and execute novel environmental, RF, mechanical, and: electrical test solutions for our ground antenna electronics and payload
Perform detailed failure analysis of ground antenna hardware, identifying: root causes of failures and implementing corrective actions
Select commercial-off-the-shelf hardware and/or design custom PCBAs to: measure signals, apply flight-like loads, and power units under test
Hands-on support of hardware through design qualification, production ramp, and ground network rollout
Work closely with engineers from adjacent disciplines (mechanical, thermal,: software, test engineering, supply chain, silicon design) to deliver tightly integrated, high-performance hardware
Perform electrical bench testing of failures to replicate and inform mitigation of anomalies
What they're looking for
- Drive continual improvements to our designs by building physical and digital: tools to analyze data collected both in the field and in the lab
- Challenge assumptions and work to find simple solutions to complex problems
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, physics, or other STEM discipline
- + years of experience in hardware development, failure analysis, or: reliability engineering (internships and co-ops acceptable)
