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
Extreme ownership of avionics engineers to enable the rapid progress of: design, integration, test, and launch activities
Drive conceptual design, architecture trades, and first order sizing. Develop: design requirements where definition is lacking
Optimize the development speed, mass, and cost on our avionics
Perform in depth first principles analysis and FEA to assess and optimize designs
Incorporate design for manufacturing principles, drive first article builds,: and make improvements necessary to hand off subsequent builds to production
Provide hands on support of production issues and drive design, process, and: procedure improvements for maximum production efficiency and rate after first article build
What they're looking for
- Design and execute development, acceptance, and qualification testing
- Drive delivery timeline through conception, design, parts, assembly and integration, and launch
- Work closely with analysts to develop thermal, vibration, and loading: requirements and with manufacturing engineers to optimize designs for rapid manufacturability
- Hire and develop a team to produce reliable, high production rate, and low mass/cost avionics hardware
