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
Serve as the responsible engineer for satellite avionics interconnection: systems, owning outcomes across design, integration, test, production, launch, and in-orbit operations
Architect system designs by specifying harness/channel capabilities, power: and network connectivity, fault tolerance, reliability, and configuration management. Generate detailed electrical schematics to actualize architecture design
Develop electro-mechanical harness designs and drawings in a 3D NX CAD: environment, with emphasis on articulating design intent to harness manufacturing and integration counterparts
Contribute to overall physical layout design to improve size, weight, power,: and ease of assembly of the entire satellite
Work collaboratively with stakeholders across all disciplines (mechanical,: electrical, RF, EMI, etc.) to identify requirements and close all trades
Perform analysis and physical testing of harnessing with respect to thermal,: loads, and vibration to ensure electrical and mechanical properties are fully qualified over the full lifecycle
What they're looking for
- Own product delivery timelines from conception through launch. Work closely: with harness production, integration, and supply chain teams to ensure designs are manufacturable, reliant/conformant, and installable on the satellite line on schedule
- Perform R&D investigations and trade studies to push wire harness design to: new boundaries in terms of reliability, mass, and cost savings at the satellite level
- Demonstrate extreme ownership of product outcomes at every stage of development and production
- Bachelor's degree in electrical, mechanical, or other engineering discipline
