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
Analyze, design, and build systems that support critical rocket launches and testing
Cradle-to-grave project ownership through hosting design reviews, project: decision justification, equipment procurement, and coordination and assistance of the construction of your ideas
Design modular hardware capable of being manufactured at volume for future launch sites across the world
Apply interdisciplinary engineering skills in fields of system-level process: design and initial sizing, detailed pressurized fluid and thermal analysis, structural engineering, materials, and component selection, and cost/schedule optimization
Work directly with technicians and support groups to build your designs, and: fix real-world problems on the fly
Maintain a tight feedback loop with the launch operations team to rapidly: alter plans as necessary to meet tight deadlines
What they're looking for
- Activate and troubleshoot equipment to achieve design objectives and iterate: system maintenance strategies to reduce future downtimes
- Independently evaluate complex problems and arrive at solutions to seemingly: impractical problems that best support the program
- Hands-on approach to tackling daily field projects necessary to keep the company launching rockets
- Bachelor’s degree in physics, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering,: aerospace engineering, or other engineering discipline
