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
Reliably launch astronauts and other payloads by ensuring the systems,: processes, and infrastructure critical to launch operations and rocket recovery are efficiently designed, maintained, and executed
Interact with the various disciplines responsible for the development and: build of Starship and Falcon launch pad systems to ensure optimized process health
Identify high-risk processes and problems during launch pad and recovery: system refurbishment and integrated operations, and proactively implement improvements to these processes to ensure operational excellence
Find smart solutions to the biggest problems by leading root cause and corrective action investigations
Maintain a feedback loop to drive hardware inputs that enable a reliable and: rapid launch cadence; using data to make the quality landscape transparent and drive prioritization of resolving high impact issues
Participate in preliminary design review (PDR)/critical design review (CDR): and work with design reliability to ensure design for quality (DFQ), design for manufacturability (DFM), risk quantification/mitigation, and that appropriate test validation methods and inspection techniques, including nondestructive evaluation methods have been considered
