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
Work with a cross-discipline team including electrical, mechanical, and: software engineers to conceptualize and develop test systems used to test and validate flight hardware
Define, document and present test system requirements, coverage, designs and operational strategies
Design and produce test assets such as test racks, electrical panels,: electrical test fixtures, harnessing, connectors, PCBAs, machinery, tools, processes, etc.
Select commercial-off-the-shelf hardware and/or design custom PCBAs to: measure signals, apply flight-like loads, and power units under test
Drive continual improvements to our designs by building physical and digital: tools to analyze data collected both on-orbit and in production
Utilize software tools (Python) to interact with units under test, test: equipment, instrumentation, field data, and production documentation systems
What they're looking for
- Get hands-on and support hardware through production, satellite integration, and flight
- Understand all products and processes that require the systems for which they: have developed and/or are responsible for.
- Challenge assumptions and work to find simple solutions to complex problems
- Ensure work is conducted and systems are designed/produced in compliance with: appropriate safety requirements (UL, NFPA, ANSI, IEC, Etc.)
