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
Provide support for team leadership and technical guidance for the Hardware and EEE Parts Reliability group
Drive Avionics EEE piece part reliability issues and risk towards closure
Use reliability physics of failure models and reliability statistics to: assess risk levels to the mission, as well as to develop and implement accelerated tests to mitigate risks and qualify designs
Lead reliability test planning, methodology, and execution
Drive analysis processes for all failures discovered during reliability testing
Build reliability prediction models and finite element models to evaluate: product functional performance over mission life conditions
What they're looking for
- Advise EEE designers on parts selection based on part reliability and manufacturing processes
- Interface with SpaceX groups such as supply chain, design engineering, and production/manufacturing
- Evaluate failure analysis and coordinate destructive physical analysis: investigations to provide corrective actions and paths to closure
- Analyze and model implementation options to inform electronics design for: reliability, including material selections, PCB laminates, features (vias, pad, stack up, etc.) specifications, finishes, component attachment, solder chemistry, reflow profile, and underfill selections
